Add cloud backup to your Hikvision NVR or DVR

Hikvision NVRs (Network Video Recorders) are used for video surveillance and recording in security systems.
Hikvision NVRs and DVRs offer various features and capabilities, including high-definition video recording and support for different video compression formats (such as H.264 and H.265)
However, they also have their limitations. In a centralized NVR system, if the NVR itself fails or experiences technical issues, it can lead to a complete loss of video recording, as well as this they’re also inflexible when it comes to expansion capabilities.
This is where Videoloft comes in. Choose to record straight to the cloud, or add cloud back-up and remove your local recorder completely.
