If it’s got local storage, it’s not ‘cloud based’.
I’m not saying offsite backups of your local storage are a bad idea.

Wifi jammers could knock it out before the camera sees anything.
The jammers don’t disable the cameras, they just prevent them from streaming the captured video to the recording machine.
If the cameras had a local buffer, they’d be able to keep recording even if the signal was jammed.
Until the cameras are destroyed, which is easier to do when they’re not streaming in real time
Why not both?
Mains power with battery backup, live streaming via wires with wifi then flash storage backup
