Video Storage questions

Straight answers on capacity, cloud and evidence.

Still unsure? Talk to an engineer

How much storage do we need?

It depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, motion and how long you keep footage. One 4MP camera can use roughly 20 to 30 GB a day, so we calculate exact needs during system design.

What happens when storage is full?

Recording loops and overwrites the oldest footage first. We size storage so that only happens after your chosen retention period.

Can we watch footage remotely?

Yes. Secure playback works from any device with role-based access, and no VPN is needed.

Is cloud video storage secure?

Yes. Footage is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based and every view or download is logged.

Can we add storage later?

Yes. We plan room to grow, so adding cameras or extending retention does not mean replacing your system.

Can footage be exported for police?

Yes. Clips export by date, camera and event in standard formats, with chain of custody documentation when needed.
