Does this camera need a subscription?

No. It records to a memory card, so footage is stored locally without a cloud plan. You only pay for the card itself.

Is 2K worth it over a 1080p outdoor camera?

Yes for detail. 2K shows faces and license plates more clearly at the same distance, though files are larger and fill a card faster.

Yes, it is dual-band and can join either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz networks. Use 5 GHz when the camera is close to the router for a steadier stream.

It uses a microSD card, which is not included. A high-endurance card rated for continuous recording is the safer choice.

It is built for outdoor use and is bulky for indoor placement, but it works indoors if you have power nearby and want the weatherproof body.

No. This model relies on infrared night vision and motion alerts; it has no built-in siren or floodlight.
