In some implementations, local storage device 190 is used to store video data when external network conditions are poor. For example, local storage device 190 is used when an encoding bitrate of camera 118 exceeds the available bandwidth of the external network e. g. , networks 162. In some implementations, local storage device 190 temporarily stores video data from one or more cameras e. g. , sending commands, configuring settings, etc. to hub devices and/or other client or electronic devices and for reviewing data captured by the devices e. g. , device status and settings, captured data, or other information regarding the hub device or other connected devices;a user interface module 622 for providing and displaying a user interface in which settings, captured data, and/or other data for one or more devices e. g.
