Hikvision cloud solution

Camera systems are increasingly connected to the cloud.Hikvisioncloud solutionoffers capabilities that traditional local storage does not have: accessible anywhere, scalable and protected against local data loss. CentraalAlarm explains whatHikvisioncloud solutions can do for you.

What is Hikvision cloud solution

Hikvisionoffers cloud-based services for both private and business users via the Hik-Connect and Hikcentral platform. The core function is cloud storage: camera images are not only stored locally on an SD card or NVR, but also securely synchronized to servers fromHikvision. This means the footage is available even if local storage is stolen or damaged in a burglary, exactly when you need it most.

In addition to storage offersHikvisioncloud also offers central management options: multiple locations withHikvisionsystems can be managed from one interface. This is particularly valuable for companies with multiple locations or security professionals who manage dozens of customer locations remotely.

Benefits of Hikvision cloud solution

The biggest advantage of cloud storage atHikvisionis the safety of the images. If a burglar takes the NVR or removes the SD card, all locally stored footage is lost. With cloud storage, the footage from the minutes before the burglary is already safely stored on an external server that the burglar cannot access. That makes itHikvisioncloud solution is an essential part of a complete security approach for homes and business premises.

Accessibility is another big advantage. The Hik-Connect app gives you access to live images and stored footage anywhere in the world, without complex network settings such as port forwarding. The cloud acts as a secure connection bridge between your cameras and your smartphone, making setup easier and reducing network-related connection issues.

Costs of Hikvision cloud solution

Hikvisioncloud storage subscriptions are available in multiple tiers depending on the number of cameras, storage duration and the desired functionalities. Basic cloud storage for a limited number of cameras and a few days' retention period is relatively affordable. Those who want longer retention periods or more cameras pay more. CentraalAlarm informs you about the current subscription rates and helps you choose the most cost-efficient package for your situation.

Alternative: if you prefer not to pay subscription costs, opt for local storage on an NVR with a large hard drive. That is a one-time investment without recurring costs.Hikvisionoffers flexibility: local and cloud storage can also be combined for maximum security of your footage.
