01 / THEFT
Beyond a stolen recorder
If a recorder is taken, footage already stored off-site can still be available for review.
CCTV cloud storage for business
Your recorder can go.
Your evidence shouldn’t.
Give your CCTV footage a home beyond your premises. Plan off-site storage that helps protect the evidence your business relies on.
For commercial premises, construction sites and multi-site businesses.
BEYOND THE RECORDEROFF-SITE STORAGE
Your CCTV systemFootage captured at your site
Upload over your internet connection
Off-site cloud storageA separate copy of uploaded footage
Retrieve when you need it
Your evidence, accessibleReview through the chosen platform

Protect what matters
Don’t leave all your evidence
in one place.
A recorder on-site can become a single point of failure. Cloud storage adds an off-site layer, keeping successfully uploaded footage separate from your premises.
02 / DAMAGE
A separate copy
Fire, flooding or damage at your premises needn’t mean losing every copy of your uploaded evidence.
03 / OVERSIGHT
Plan for more than one site
Discuss a storage and access arrangement that suits multiple premises and the people responsible for them.
A practical setup
Built around your cameras.
Planned for your business.
Start with the system you have and the footage you need to keep. Compatibility, upload capacity and retention all shape the right solution.
Prepare your requirements01. Check the site
Identify your cameras or recorder, internet connection and recording requirements.
02. Specify the storage
Agree which cameras to include, the recording mode and how long footage needs to be retained.
03. Configure and verify
Confirm that uploads, playback and access permissions work as expected before relying on the setup.
Where it fits
One site or a growing estate.
Commercial premises
Shops, workshops, warehouses and offices where evidence needs to remain available beyond the building.
Construction & remote sites
Temporary locations where recorder security and connectivity need careful planning. Mobile data use must be considered.
Multi-site businesses
Petrol stations, retail groups and property portfolios with different cameras and storage requirements at each location.
Your next step
What does your site need?
Prepare a short brief for your cloud storage quote. Include your camera or recorder model when discussing compatibility.

Good questions
Before you move footage to the cloud.
Will it work with my existing CCTV?
Compatibility needs to be checked against the camera and recorder models and the chosen cloud platform. Have your model numbers ready so the right connection method can be confirmed.
What happens if the internet connection goes down?
New footage cannot upload while the connection is unavailable. Local recording and any later upload depend on the system’s capabilities and configuration. Footage uploaded before the outage is stored separately.
How much bandwidth will I need?
Upload requirements depend on camera count, resolution, bitrate and whether you store continuously or on events. Mobile connections also need a suitable data allowance.
How long can footage be stored?
Retention is agreed as part of the service specification. The right period depends on your operational needs, available storage and data protection responsibilities.
Where will the footage be stored, and who can access it?
Confirm hosting location, encryption, user permissions and deletion arrangements for the selected platform before signing up. Access should be limited to authorised people, with a retention policy appropriate to your business.
