Understanding IEC EN 62676-4 DORI Video Standards

WIRED camera reviews emphasize that high resolution (4K) alone does not guarantee a readable license plate or face. Professional surveillance engineering follows the international DORI benchmark:

Local Storage (NVR/SD) vs. Cloud Subscription Economics

As noted in comprehensive home security camera shootouts, cloud subscriptions (Nest Aware, Ring Protect, Arlo Secure) charge $10–$20/month. Over 3 years across 4 cameras, that totals $360–$720 in pure subscription fees.

By comparison, a local PoE NVR or smart home hub with a dedicated surveillance hard drive (e.g., Western Digital Purple or Seagate SkyHawk) offers uncompressed 24/7 streams, eliminates recurring fees, keeps video private from cloud leaks, and functions even if home internet is severed.
