IP Surveillance Cameras Installation

Here are the biggest 3 reasons why you should consider the cloud when setting up a video surveillance system.

Cloud Storage.
 This is probably the biggest one and where using a cloud video surveillance can really shine for a user. The basic idea is when something interesting happens while you’re away from your camera, you want to be able to capture that activity for later viewing. Having a service that automatically accepts recorded video, stores it off-site securely, and makes it available for easy viewing
Security
There have been some well-publicized reports of IP cameras being hacked lately. Most of these incidents boil down to users making their IP camera available on the open internet and not changing the default admin credentials. There have been some issues related to out-of-date firmware, but in general a good cloud service provider will make sure you’re using more secure streaming protocols, strong camera access credentials, and ensuring easy hacks aren't available.
Mobility.

 Related to #1, just about everyone will want to access their video surveillance system remotely, which means mobile access is a must. By managing access to your cameras and recordings from the cloud, mobile apps become a possibility and a good cloud vendor will offer them as part of their service.
