Where Should You Store Your CCTV Footage? Cloud vs. Local NVR

 

Choosing the right storage is just as important as choosing the right cameras.

💾 Local NVR Storage

✅ No monthly cloud subscription
✅ Stores footage on-site
✅ Fast playback and large storage capacity

Consider: If the recorder is damaged or stolen, stored footage could be at risk unless additional backups are in place.

☁️ Cloud Storage

✅ Access footage from anywhere
✅ Critical video is stored off-site
✅ Helps protect important recordings even if on-site equipment is compromised

Consider: Some cloud services require a monthly subscription.

✅ The Best Solution? A Hybrid System

Why choose one when you can have both?

✔ Record continuously to a secure local NVR
✔ Back up important motion events to the cloud
✔ Enjoy reliable storage and added peace of mind
