Prices are recorded USD offers with a checked date, not live quotes. Missing local prices or plan fees stay unpriced; no currency conversion or other-region fallback. Manufacturer specs, not our tests; a blank lens or storage cell means the maker did not publish it.

Reviewed recording configurations

3 exact US configurations, checked against official documentation (latest review: 2026-09-29). These are documentation reviews, not hardware tests. The Planner uses these same facts to show storage allowances, 3/5-year costs and what remains without a paid recording plan.

A local-storage label does not establish continuous recording, smart alerts, offline operation or cloud retention. “Not verified” means this review has not established that feature. Prices keep their own recorded offer dates.
