The storage mode of home surveillance cameras can be selected according to personal needs and actual conditions. Here are some common storage methods:
Local storage ：
memory card : Store the monitoring video in the memory card. This is a common storage method, which has the advantages of low cost, easy installation and use. You can choose different memory cards according to your needs.
Digital Video Recorder （NVR） : Store monitoring videos by connecting NVR devices. NVR usually has a larger storage capacity and more stable performance, which is suitable for situations where a large number of videos need to be stored for a long time.
cloud storage ：
video camera Inbound cloud storage service : Some camera brands provide their own cloud storage services to upload surveillance videos to the cloud for storage. This method is convenient for remote access and management, but it may cost some money.
Third party cloud storage services : You can also choose to use third-party cloud storage services, such as Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud. Upload the monitoring video to these platforms for storage.
Hybrid storage ：
When selecting the storage mode, the following factors need to be considered:
storage capacity : Determine the storage capacity as required to ensure that the storage requirements of surveillance video can be met.
Storage reliability : Select a reliable storage device or service to prevent data loss or damage.
Accessibility : Consider whether you need to access the surveillance video anytime, anywhere, and the convenience of access.
cost : Different storage methods have different costs. You need to choose according to your own budget.
Here are some examples of storage methods:
If you only need to store surveillance videos for a short time and are sensitive to the cost, you can choose to use a memory card as the storage medium.
For situations where a large number of surveillance videos need to be stored for a long time, hard disk video recorder (NVR) may be a better choice.
If you want to access surveillance videos anytime, anywhere, and have high requirements for data security, you can consider using the cloud storage service provided by the camera or a third-party cloud storage service.
The final choice should be based on your specific needs, budget and equipment compatibility. Before setting the storage mode, it is recommended to carefully read the instructions of the camera and consult the relevant technical support personnel to ensure that a suitable storage mode is selected.
