Edge Storage

Video that keeps recording — even when the network doesn’t

Edge storage records video directly on the camera or a local appliance, eliminating single points of failure. It keeps surveillance operational through network outages, server disruptions, and cloud interruptions.

Local Recording On-Device

Video is stored directly on an SD card inside the camera — no NVR or server required.

Network Outage Protection

Recording continues uninterrupted on the edge when network or server connectivity is lost.

Reduced Infrastructure Costs

Eliminate or downsize centralised server hardware by distributing storage across cameras.

Redundant Storage Failover

Edge storage acts as a secondary backup layer alongside centralised recording for added resilience.

What is edge storage?

Traditional surveillance relies on a continuous link between cameras and a central server or cloud platform. If that link fails, recording stops.

Edge storage writes video to high-end, durable memory cards inside the camera or to a small, on-site recording device. These function separately from the central system. Operators can access footage whenever required or send it back to the video management system (VMS)—the software platform for handling recorded and live video—once network connectivity is restored. This setup improves the system’s reliability and efficiency.

Outcomes

Continuous Recording

Cameras keep recording locally during outages. Footage is backfilled to the VMS with no evidence gaps.

Lower Bandwidth Cost

Video stays at the edge until needed. Only live and retrieval traffic use the network.

Edge Storage Provides Redundancy

Protecting against hardware failure, ransomware, or compromise.

Simplified Architecture

Eliminates on-site recording hardware, reducing cost and IT needs.
