Why your CCTV installations need to record in the cloud
By Hommax SmartSD
Cloud recording allows you to store large volumes of content, ensuring fast search, playback and download of sent images.
Cases in which you need a cloud recording backup
- Recorder stolen.
- Local hard drive failure.
- Local network failure or sabotage.
- Local server failure, not ready for high availability.
- Demand for high number of remote connections.
Although there are multiple ways of securing stored data and having a backup that prevents us from losing crucial information, there is no doubt that cloud storage services have taken the lead, growing exponentially in recent years. The improvement of internet connections coupled with the high availability of resources make this solution perfect, easily protecting data of interest that may be susceptible to loss caused by human or hardware failure.
