Subscription reality
✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
No subscription — 32GB microSD included; person detection runs on-device
Maintenance reality
- Cloud dependence: No — core function survives without the vendor's cloud
- Wired install (doorbell wiring required); microSD card is the wear item
The catch
Ecosystem integrations are shallow — this is a local-storage appliance, not a platform citizen.
Who it's for
Subscription-free local recording with sharp 2K video for households that live in the Lorex app.
