Growing up, we had several home videos stored on VHS, which we then transferred to DVD and are now saved on the cloud.

I want to start home videos for my family. I know it’s silly, but I don’t want to use my iPhone. I want to use some sort of camcorder. Most camcorders use SD cards to store the videos.

My question is this, after the videos are stored to the SD card, where is the best way to save these files long term so that my kids can accessibly watch them when they are older? Do I transfer them from the SD card to either (or both) an external hard drive or some sort of cloud storage? Do I need a computer for that or would I be able to somehow directly transfer from SD card to the place where I need them stored long term? If that makes sense. Sorry for the rambling. Or should I just keep them on SD cards and use the camcorder and when my kids want to watch them on the TV, hook the camcorder to the TV?

If they are stored on the cloud or external hard drive, how can we watch them on the TV when we want to?

Thanks in advance!
