What happens to security cameras during a Houston internet outage?

Security cameras may keep recording locally during an internet outage if they still have power and are connected to a local recorder or supported storage setup. However, cloud recording, live remote viewing, and app notifications may become limited when internet service is down. Wi-Fi cameras are especially dependent on router and ISP performance. For stronger resilience, cameras should be part of a complete system that also includes intrusion detection, backup communication, and monitoring options.
