Question about Reolink Argus 2

The WLAN is obligatory for setting up. However, the videos are not (currently) stored in the cloud, but on a microSD memory card (to be bought separately). This also worked for me while I had the WLAN switched off for a short time. The cloud storage offer is not yet available for EU customers. Probably a data protection issue (GDPR).
I can really recommend this camera. It's been running for exactly 20 days now and the battery is still at 61%. I bought the solar panel with it, but I haven't installed it yet because the battery lasts so long.
