Why Cloud Storage Should be Your Go-To

Verkada Access Control Family - cloud security tools to track people going in and out

Verkada boasts cloud-based security cameras with solid-state storage. This means no NVR, DVR, or physical server is required. But, how is this beneficial?

What is Cloud Storage?

Cloud storage is an advanced and secure method of storing video footage from security cameras on remote servers that can be accessed through the internet. Hence, cloud storage does not require a separate, physical storage device such as a DVR or NVR.

The Benefits of Cloud Storage

One of the main advantages of using cloud storage and SSDs is that they allow for greater scalability and flexibility. With traditional security cameras, footage is stored on a local device such as a DVR or NVR, and this footage can quickly fill up the storage capacity of the device. With cloud storage, footage can be stored on remote servers with virtually unlimited storage capacity. Additionally, with SSDs, data can be quickly and easily accessed, making it possible to quickly retrieve footage in case of an incident.

Another advantage of not having NVR/DVRs or servers for storage is that it eliminates the need for additional hardware, which can save on costs and reduce the risk of hardware failure.

Additionally, Verkada’s cloud storage is secure and encrypted, providing an extra layer of security for sensitive footage. This feature allows businesses to keep their footage for extended periods of time, ensuring that the footage will be available for review when needed. Hence, this can be beneficial for legal or insurance purposes.

Overall, Verkada offers cloud storage as it eliminates the need for extra hardware and the associated expenses, allows for unlimited storage and remote monitoring, and is safe and secure.
