Direct Answer
Is there a pet camera app that records locally instead of using cloud storage?
Yes. Call Pet does not provide cloud video recording or storage. Manual recordings can be saved locally on the Controller, and Apple version 1.7.0 adds optional 24/7 recording and playback stored locally on the Monitor device.
