weak links

will happily

"i wouldn't have subscribed to the cloud storage for an internal camera normally as the microsd slot will happily take a 128gb card according to the documentation which by my calculations is enough for a month or so if set to motion activated recording however i felt it was a good idea for the external camera as that is obviously more vulnerable"

record constantly
