Local Storage

Local Storage


  • Facilitated by Network Video Recorders(NVR) & Hybrid Video Recorders (XVR)
  • Enables Live monitoring & Remote footage access
  • Unified dashboard, multi-user platform accessibility
  • Facilitates easier transmission over Power over Ethernet (POE) cables
  • Scalable solution to handle multiple intelligent devices
  • Centralized storage
  • Can detect people, objects, motion, vibrations, fire, changes in the environment, etc.
  • Detects anomalies & sends real-time alerts to escalations
  • Simultaneous viewing of multiple cameras
Local Storage

NVR

Cloud enablement with direct IP configurations over Camera Manager while NVR facilitates local storage

Local Storage

XVR

Partial cloud enablement with IP configurations over Camera Manager, analog data remains on XVR (accessible via platform)

Cloud Storage

Cloud Storage


  • Facilitated by Cloud Management Video Recorders (CMVR) or directly via IP camera configurations.
  • IP cameras can be used as independent devices that directly connect to the cloud without the need of a CMVR.
  • CMVRs provide the added advantages of secure on-premise data storage, scheduled transmission of data from local storage to cloud, system upgrades, various analytics and more.
  • Facilitates online & offline recording, live monitoring & remote footage access, detects anomalies across sites & devices and sends real time alerts to escalations.
  • Centralized platform to view, retrieve, download & share data stored on cloud while facilitating on-premise data storage in CMVRs.
  • Scalable solution for connecting more devices over time.
  • Provides security to data by encrypting traffic directly to the cloud.
