Got the annual "your price is going up" email from my current cam company and decided this is the year I stop renting access to my own footage. Five cameras' worth of monthly fees, going on four years. Before I replace anything I want the honest post-purchase reports: what's the real total cost once you add the hub or storage or whatever the "free of subscriptions" setup actually needs, and what did you give up? Cloud history? Shareable links? Anything you miss? Trying to figure out what the catch is before I find out the hard way.
