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.
