You could just add a small nonvolatile buffer to each camera if it’s not wired, such that if it loses connection with your home assistant server it will start recording. With 720p video and a 64gb flash storage you could, depending on encoding, store well over a day of footage. (Napkin math so could be wrong)

Many cameras only save recordings based off of motion triggers, so 64 gb goes a long way if most of the time there's no movement.
