Cloud-Based Security Camera System
Definition
Cloud-based security camera systems use cameras that transmit video directly to cloud storage and processing platforms over the internet, eliminating the need for a local NVR. Leading platforms include Verkada, Rhombus, Eagle Eye Networks, and Milestone Husky Cloud. Each camera has on-board storage (flash or SSD) for local buffering and continues recording locally if internet connectivity is lost. Video is simultaneously uploaded to the cloud for remote access, AI analytics, and long-term retention.
