Cloud vs. Local Storage: Which Is Best for Your Home Security System?

When choosing a home security system, one key decision is how your footage is stored. Should you go with cloud-based or local storage? Here’s a breakdown:

Cloud Storage Pros:

• Access footage from anywhere via your smartphone.

• Automatic backups protect against theft or damage.

• Easy to share video clips with police or neighbors.

  
  

Cloud Storage Cons:

• Monthly fees can add up.

• Requires strong internet for uploading footage.

  
  

Local Storage Pros:

• No ongoing fees.

• Better privacy control (not dependent on third parties).

  
  

Local Storage Cons:

• If someone steals the DVR/NVR, you lose the footage.

• Limited space unless you upgrade hardware.
