Oui, si la caméra dispose d’une carte SD, elle continue d’enregistrer si elle est hors-ligne. Par contre la synchronisation avec le cloud (si abonné) n’est pas certaine.

L’appli nous demande notre choix avant d’écraser les données. 😁👍🏻

If your Aosu camera loses network connectivity, it can continue recording so long as it’s set to store the files locally. Videos recorded during the offline period can be recovered and viewed after the camera reconnects to the network.

This is only available with local storage. If you have your cameras set to save to the cloud, it’ll be unable to record without a network connection.

📡 When the Camera Goes Offline

💾 If you’re using SD card storage (local recording):  
The camera keeps recording even while offline. All videos captured during that time are safely stored on the SD card and will reappear in the app once the camera reconnects.

☁ If you’re using cloud storage (cloud recording):  
Cloud recording cannot continue without a network connection. While the camera is offline, cloud recordings are paused and will only resume once the camera is back online.
