Cloud Video Storage for Business Security Cameras
iFovea stores security camera footage in the cloud with configurable retention, encrypted transmission, and instant remote playback – no local servers or NVR required.
Direct Answer
What is cloud video storage for security cameras?
Cloud video storage means camera footage is stored in encrypted cloud servers instead of local hard drives. Footage is accessible from anywhere via browser, automatically retained for your configured period (14, 30, or 90 days), and protected by AES-256 encryption — no NVR hard drive to replace.
- ✓AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest — no local drive failure risk
- ✓Configurable retention: 14-day, 30-day, or 90-day storage periods
- ✓Access footage from any browser — no VPN, no on-site visit needed
What Is Cloud Video Storage for Security Cameras?
Cloud video storage for security cameras stores surveillance footage in remote, encrypted data centers rather than local hard drives or NVR appliances. Footage is accessible from any browser or mobile app without requiring VPN or on-site server access.
How It Works
Cameras connected to iFovea stream video over your existing network to secure cloud storage. In hybrid deployments, footage records locally via the iFovea Gateway and syncs to cloud on schedule. All footage is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS in transit.
Video Retention Options
iFovea supports 7, 14, 30, 60, and 90-day retention periods configurable per camera or per site. Event-triggered recording reduces storage consumption by 60-80% compared to continuous recording.
Cloud vs Local vs Hybrid Storage
Local NVR storage requires on-site access and fails if the NVR is damaged or stolen. Cloud storage is off-site, redundant, and accessible from anywhere. Hybrid deployments combine local edge recording with cloud backup for sites with unreliable internet.
Security and Encryption
iFovea cloud storage uses AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS in transit, role-based access controls, and multi-factor authentication. All access events are audit-logged.
Multi-Site Storage Management
Manage footage across all locations from a single dashboard. Set different retention policies per site, review footage from any location remotely, and monitor total storage usage at the account level. See our multi-site surveillance management guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
