Recorders with cloud storage

Cloud storage

— cloud storage compatible recorders. The specific service supported is worth specifying separately, but most often these are popular public resources like Google Drive or Dropbox.

Recall that cloud storage is an information storage system located on remote servers. Data is transmitted to such a system via the Internet, and the owner can access them via the World Wide Web, regardless of their own location. In addition, modern "clouds" allow you to share selected information with other users. The basic functionality of such services and a certain amount of disk space are usually available for free, but for advanced features and increased storage, payment is required (one-time or regular subscription, depending on the specific service).

Specifically, in this case, compatibility with cloud storage means, first of all, that the recorder is able to directly copy recorded video materials to such storage. This provides two important advantages at once. The first has already been mentioned — the ability to work with videos (view, copy, share, etc.) from almost anywhere in the world where there is access to the Internet. The second point is additional reliability and security: even if the registrar's drive is damaged or destroyed, a copy of its contents will still remain in the "cloud".

Note that support for cloud storage is also found in individual surveillance cameras. However, buying a recorder with this function is a more rational solution. Firstly, the ability to work with the "cloud" will not depend on the features of the cameras used; secondly, the corresponding tools in registrars are often more extensive than in cameras.
