Yeah same. Although we use Lorex which I think is proprietary and connects to their servers but if something ever happens, I can probably hook it into my nas and run it there.

I had a lorex and thought the same until my Internet went out and I wasn't able to access the cameras I'm my own house even though the lan was up and running.

My lorex functions with internet cut off. It just goes to the drives installed in the dvr. Don't know what happened with yours. Maybe I got an older version
