I don't know if this is the correct subforum, but there is no security subforum and these are IP cameras so I think it'll do. If not, feel free to move it mods.
We have 2 security cameras installed at my parents' office, currently I'm using blue iris on a PC to record 24/7 and send alerts whenever it detects movement. I need a way to store the footage somewhere else other than the computer, because if it gets stolen I loose all the footage anyway, so it's useless. I thought about storing the footage in an external HDD connected to the PC via a long usb cable and hidden somewhere. Would that work? Do you guys have any better ideas? I'm all ears. (Just no cloud saving because I tried that already and it doesn't work, the internet is too slow.)
