Surveillance Systems, Cloud Storage Provide Extra Security

This month, we look at the importance of having the proper backup or cloud storage for your security surveillance system. If you have a surveillance system, you know how important access to recordings can be. Whether you need to check on a delivery or what an employee is working on, you need to be able to review any recordings. What if the recordings are needed for a police investigation or even a lawsuit? Do you know how long they are stored?

Cloud storage is an essential feature of any surveillance system, providing businesses with a reliable and secure way to store their videos. Your system should not only provide you access to recorded videos but also offer adequate storage for safety recall. You should also be aware of how long the recordings are stored. Most systems have limited onsite storage, but you can pay to have them stored for longer periods of time in the Cloud. This makes it easier for business owners to keep track of the events that have taken place in their facility for recall purposes and make sure that any suspicious activities are addressed promptly.

With a proper surveillance system, the cloud storage feature will allow businesses to enjoy greater peace of mind, knowing that their videos are safely stored off-site and easily accessible with remote access. This allows business owners to review video footage from anywhere, even on a cell phone, and also share a link with others. With more control over your security systems, your business can take proactive steps to ensure the safety and security of your premise.

For our clients, we have Cloud storage contract with a company that has several servers off-site in a secured location, ensuring that businesses have reliable access to their surveillance videos and the peace of mind that comes with it. By leveraging this feature, businesses can be confident that they are taking all the necessary steps to protect their premises from any potential threats. So, the biggest part of a surveillance system isn’t just the recording of activities, but making sure you have access to them. With Cloud storage, you can rest assured knowing your business is in safe and secure. QCBN
