Must I Subscribe to a Cloud Service to Use the Camera?

Learn whether a cloud service subscription is required to use the camera and the benefits of cloud storage

You can view live video or locally recorded video using an SD card. If you only need basic surveillance features, you may not need a cloud service.

For cameras, cloud services can provide the following value:

  • Secure Data Storage: Cloud storage allows you to store your videos securely in the cloud. Even if your camera is dropped, damaged, or lost, the historical playback footage is still viewable and the data can still be protected.

  • Remote Access: You can access the camera's video data wherever you are, download and delete stored records.

  • Convenient Sharing: Cloud storage makes it easier to share the camera's video data with others for family members or friends to view at any time.

  • Unlimited Storage Space: The length of video storage depends on the plan you subscribe, and can be kept for 7 days / 15 days / 30 days. Storage space is no longer limited to the capacity of the memory card used.
