Why you should backup your NVR or DVR

Hiikvision cameras connected to the Videoloft cloud platform showing live video feeds from warehouses, offices, and kitchens on desktop and mobile devices.

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 add cloud backup to your local recorder and have a hybrid cloud storage solution, or record straight to the cloud and remove your local recorder altogether.

Protect and secure your video surveillance footage

Local NVR’s (Network Video Recorders) and DVR’s (Digital Video Recorders) are vulnerable to damage and theft, potentially resulting in lost footage that you can’t get back.
