Which means they have to run and maintain servers.

I'd bet money that it works just like similar devices from Reolink. Local recording to SD Card or NVR. If you want cloud recording then you're paying a monthly subscription.

This device from Aldi is at a very low pricepoint but it's specs are garbage. 480p recording? In 2025? C'mon...
