Initial recording settings require internet. Cloud AI person detection is a separate paid benefit; local recording is not cloud-independent setup.
What else you need.
Existing doorbell wiring, compatible microSD card; initial setup with Wi-Fi.
Hardware that stores data locally can still depend on a vendor account, app activation, supported firmware or an internet connection for certain functions.
