Hybrid Cloud Video Storage
Scale your surveillance infrastructure on demand
Hybrid cloud combines the reliability of on-premises video recording with the flexibility and scale of the cloud. It lets organisations retain, access, and manage surveillance footage across both environments through a single platform — extending storage, improving resilience, and opening up new operational capabilities without forcing a full infrastructure replacement.
For security leaders facing growing camera counts, longer retention requirements, and stretched on-site storage, hybrid cloud offers a practical path forward.
What is Hybrid Cloud Video Surveillance?
Hybrid cloud video surveillance is an architecture that uses both on-site recording infrastructure and cloud services to capture, store, and manage video.
Cameras continue to record locally to on-premises servers or NVRs, preserving bandwidth efficiency and live viewing performance. In parallel, selected footage, metadata, or long-term archives are offloaded to the cloud, where storage can expand as needed, and video can be accessed remotely by authorised users.
The result is a unified system that balances local control with cloud-scale capacity.
How it Works
Cameras record to local servers, NVRs, or appliances as they always have. Live monitoring, event response, and day-to-day operations continue uninterrupted.
Storage, backup, or management functions are handed off to the cloud based on rules you define — for example, archiving footage older than 30 days, replicating critical recordings, or mirroring video from remote sites that lack local infrastructure.
Operators, investigators, and administrators use a single interface to search, review, and export footage — regardless of whether it sits on-site or in the cloud.
Key Capabilities
Elastic Storage
Extend video retention well beyond the limits of on-premises hardware. Add capacity when camera counts grow, retention policies change, or compliance requirements tighten — without buying new servers.
Remote and Multi-site Access
Authorised users can view live and recorded video from any location. Multi-site organisations gain centralised visibility across distributed facilities.
Resilience and Redundancy
Cloud replication protects critical footage against on-site failure, theft, or tampering. Recordings survive, even if local hardware does not.
Centralised Management
System health, user access, device status, and software updates are managed from a single cloud console — reducing the operational burden on local IT and security teams.
Flexible Deployment
Organisations choose what to keep on-site and what to move to the cloud. Sensitive footage can remain local; archive and low-priority data can sit in cost-effective cloud storage.
