Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There's nowhere in the description to tell how to enable the local storage only mode. And you won't find a direct answer to that question in the Q&A section either. Because there's no such functionality. Here's how this device actually works: first you always need a blink account, so that all videos can be uploaded to the cloud. There's no way to turn it off. Then if you buy this device, you can periodically download from the cloud to have a local copy of the videos. Think about Google selling you a standalone wifi device to back up your gmails. That's how ridiculous it is.
