Nearly 5 years ago, I wrote an article "Should You Use Cameras With SD Storage?" Not surprisingly, at that time, I argued it was a niche due to high storage costs for limited amounts of storage (32GB cards were ~$100 then) and very limited VMS support.
Both certainly have changed since then.
- 64GB cards are available for half the price of a 32GB card then - a 400% increase in price / storage ratio.
- A number of mainstream 'open' VMSes support on board storage.
- A number of camera manufacturers are offering it for 'free' with their own cameras.

So what do you think? Should you use cameras with SD storage? When? Where?
