The cloud has at times been seen as the solution to end everyone’s storage challenges. But adoption for surveillance has been hindered by technology and other concerns, such as stability, accessibility, integrity and security.
“There are different opinions about cloud-based recording,” says Tim Shen of Dahua USA. “Some support it because it can save more space in local devices and video can be accessed via the Internet. However, there are certain situations where either Internet is not available or in high-risk situations, organizations will rely on local storages rather than cloud-based recording.”
