Cloud vs. Local Storage – What’s Right for Your Business?

Security camera systems can store video in different ways. We’ll help you choose the right option:

Local Storage (DVR/NVR Systems)
  • Video is recorded onsite.
  • No internet required for storage.
  • Complete control of your footage.
  • Ideal for high-security and low-bandwidth locations.
Cloud-Based Storage
  • Access live and recorded footage from anywhere.
  • Automatic backups and secure offsite storage.
  • Perfect for businesses with multiple locations or remote managers.

Whether you need on-premise servers or cloud solutions, we’ll make sure your system fits your budget and business.
