Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

turn off the wifi. boom no more ring and nest cams. problem solved.
Teenagers don’t listen to this parent in disguise. Most modern cameras and record everything locally and/or viacloud. You’d physically have to go to each camera and unplug if they aren’t already battery operated AND kill the wifi.
If just just turn off the wifi they’ll record them just upload everything when they get internet again lol.
Good luck trying to explain that away to your parents though lol.
Unless you running an NVR, do not believe many cloud based cameras will record locally. Fewer would have batteries. I think some doorbell cameras may send still photos with motion that may get send on reconnection. The video is likely lost.
I install commercial cameras and nearly all have capability for SD cards and local storage but never had a need to utilize that.
The cheap Wyze cameras I’ve seen everyone buy lately store locally and have cloud options. They’re both usable at the same time too.
They’re aren’t in any government approved lists but most poors don’t give a shit if the CPC is watching them fuck in the living room occasionally when the kids are sleeping lol.

It is fairly cheap option to have some local storage although it won’t have a great deal of time. Day or two. But for cloud storage that is perfect as it can handle then brief internet outages without losing any video. Just might be delayed.
I thought about installing it in our commercial cameras by default. Had a client get their NVR stolen and having local camera storage would have given them two days of recorded video. Was certain it was and inside job or past worker so it could have been effective.
