Cloud based security cameras
Modern video surveillance with remote access, secure cloud recording, and lower
upfront options for businesses, buildings, and high-end properties.
What Are Cloud Based Security Cameras?
Cloud based security cameras are modern surveillance systems that allow you to view live and recorded video from your phone, tablet, or computer while footage is stored more securely through a cloud platform instead of relying only on a recorder kept on the property. This makes it easier for building owners, managers, and business operators to review footage, share access with authorized users, and manage security across one or multiple locations.
Why Manhattan Properties Are Moving Beyond Traditional DVR and NVR Systems
Traditional DVR and NVR systems can still work, but many Manhattan properties are moving to cloud based surveillance because it offers easier remote access, stronger protection for recorded footage, and simpler day-to-day management. Instead of depending entirely on on-site recording equipment, cloud systems make it easier to review footage, manage users, receive alerts, and keep security visible across one or multiple properties.
Traditional DVR / NVR Systems
- Video is primarily stored on equipment located on the property
- If the recorder is damaged or removed, recorded footage may be harder to recover
- Remote viewing setup can be more limited or more difficult to manage
- Expanding the system may require more on-site changes
- Sharing access across multiple users or locations is often less convenient
Cloud Based Security Cameras
- Recorded video is stored more securely off-site through the cloud
- Live and recorded footage can be viewed from phone, tablet, or desktop
- Authorized users can be given access more easily
- Cloud platforms make alerts, system visibility, and management more convenient
- Expanding to more cameras or additional properties is typically easier
Why Cloud Surveillance Is Worth It
Cloud surveillance is worth it for the improved security, remote accessibility, and lower maintenance compared to traditional, on-premise systems. It offers secure offsite storage, preventing data loss if cameras are stolen or destroyed, and enables instant, authorized access from anywhere, making it ideal for monitoring multiple sites.
View live and recorded footage from your phone, tablet, or desktop so you can check in on your property from anywhere.
Recorded footage is stored more securely off site, helping reduce the risk of losing important video if on site equipment is damaged, stolen, or fails.
Authorized users can be given access more easily, which is ideal for owners, managers, supers, office staff, or multiple decision makers.
Cloud platforms can make it easier to receive alerts, check camera health, and stay informed when activity or issues need attention.
Adding more cameras or expanding to more locations is usually simpler with a cloud platform than with older recorder based systems.
Cloud based surveillance offers a cleaner, more connected experience for properties that want easier access, better oversight, and long term flexibility.
How Cloud Surveillance Works
Cloud based camera systems are designed to keep video access simple for the people who actually use it. Here is the basic process:
Cameras are installed on the property
Video connects to a secure cloud platform
Authorized users can view footage from phone or desktop
Alerts, sharing, and management become easier
