    As someone with a home server and security cameras… (See 3rd paragraph for flock)

    The cameras don’t have any ram. At least not the kind we are talking about. They use onboard processors and flash memory.

    The NVR typically has 4-8g ram but that’s the not the camera, that’s the hub that they all connect to, and it also has the HHD/SSD wich is now also double+ the price. It’s also not external, it’s in a secure location.

    Flock: AFAIK cameras run snapdragon, so it’s like a cell phone, with 2g ram chip. Not PC RAM. That, once again, could be in the NVR, which I believe is cloud based, so not a local device you can access.
