Applies to: Reolink cameras which can support Reolink cloud 

Generally speaking, the video will be recorded to SD card directly if there is an SD card installed on the battery-powered cameras. 

If you also bind your camera to the cloud server, it can be recorded to the cloud server.

The cloud storage and SD storage are independent. They can be recorded at the same time. 

If you do not want to record to cloud server, you can unbind the camera from Cloud server.
