![]() If we store the video clips on the micro SD card, anyone could view these clips by removing the micro SD card, they just need to have physical access to the camera, so they could spy on us and we will risk our privacy and security. Local recording to a micro SD card does not come with any guarantee of privacy and security. In the event that there is a fire or natural disaster, the Cloud also plays in our favor because we will be able to see everything that has happened in our home, and we will be able to see what has happened in detail. If we only had local storage, surely that IP camera will have been so damaged that we will not be able to see absolutely anything that it had recorded. In these situations, the IP camera will not have been of any use to us, we will only receive a notification indicating that movement has been detected, but we will not see any video clip or anything else at all.įor this reason, by having an automatic recording in the cloud, it does not matter if they take the camera because the video clip will have already been uploaded to the manufacturer’s Cloud, so there is no local storage to steal. Thanks to these recordings, we will be able to know everything that has happened in our home. If we have a Cloud IP camera installed in our house and they break into it, it is most likely that they will also take the video surveillance camera or at least the micro SD card for local storage. Depending on the characteristics of the manufacturer’s cloud, we may have more or less history.įor the IP camera to be able to upload everything to the manufacturer’s cloud, it is absolutely essential to have an Internet connection, if you have a network where the video surveillance does not have access to the Internet, this feature will not work for you, because it is essential that the cameras have access with your Cloud. There are IP cameras that allow local and remote access through the Cloud, but the vast majority of cameras always use the Cloud even if you are on the same local network. Just by having an Internet connection, we will have access to all the recordings, and also to a history of all the recordings that the camera has made in the last hours, days, and even weeks. ![]() When a home IP camera uploads video clips to the cloud, that means that they will be available to all users of the manufacturer’s application or cloud service, of course, only those who have permission to do so will access these recordings. Next, we are going to show you all the strengths of home IP camera cloud recording. The possibility of recording in the cloud or Cloud everything that is happening is something quite interesting, because it allows us to access the manufacturer’s cloud from anywhere, without the need to connect remotely to the camera, use VPN services, or even access an NVR device that we have, either installed individually or through a NAS server that has software that supports the NVR functions. In recent years, the main manufacturers of home IP cameras have incorporated the functionality of recording everything that happens and storing it in the manufacturer’s own cloud that we are using, automatically uploading video clips when it detects movement and/or sound. This will allow us to always have all the recordings available in the cloud, however, this recording in the Cloud has its advantages but also its drawbacks. Today we are going to explain all the strengths and weaknesses of recording in the cloud, so you can decide if it is worth having a home IP camera with this option or not. Advantages and disadvantages of IP cameras with recording in the Cloud
