Cloud Adapter FAQs
Does the Cloud Adapter store surveillance footage locally in the case of network redundancy?
Yes, if your internet connection was to fail the Videoloft Cloud Adapter will store your footage locally and automatically upload it to the cloud once the network is restored. This feature provides peace of mind and ensures uninterrupted surveillance.
How big is the internal storage on the Cloud Adapter?
Cloud Adapter’s 8 and 16 both include 32GB built-in storage as standard and the Cloud Adapter Enterprise includes a huge 1TB SSD storage. If the internet connection fails, it’ll store video on the USB drive and automatically send it to the cloud when the internet connection is restored. If you want to add a larger USB drive to our Cloud Adapter’s 8 and 16 for longer network redundancy we recommend a SanDisk Ultra Fit 512GB 3.1 Flash Drive.
Does the Cloud Adapter work with DVRs?
Yes, provided your DVR is compatible with Videoloft our Cloud Adapter will be able to connect your device to the cloud.
How secure is cloud CCTV?
A common concern about storing video in the cloud is that it isn’t secure, but actually cloud based CCTV is inherently more secure than local storage.
One of the main reasons people look for a cloud based solution is because they’ve been let down by their local storage, either by tampering, theft, fire or flood. Not only are local recorders vulnerable to damage and theft, they also need regular firmware updates and without them, they can be insecure.
So, in terms of security, what are the benefits of using Videoloft as your cloud video surveillance provider?
- Videoloft is powered by a small bridging device known as a Cloud Adapter. The NDAA compliant Cloud Adapters are assembled in the UK and add a software interface between the local cameras/recorders and the internet.
- We push software updates to every Videoloft Cloud Adapter on a weekly basis, so you don’t need to worry about updating them yourself.
- They can be installed remotely, and no port forwarding is required.
- All video is transmitted to the Videoloft cloud over encrypted HTTPS channels, it’s then stored in the cloud using 256-bit encryption. When someone views the video, it’s sent to the viewing device again over encrypted HTTPS (the same technology used in internet banking!)
- Videoloft footage is hosted on AWS – trusted by thousands of major global brands. They maintain stringent security standards including ISO27001 and SOC 2.
How long can I access playback footage with Videoloft?
The length of playback depends on your chosen cloud storage plan. Videoloft offers flexible retention options, with a minimum of 2 days and the ability to extend storage for weeks, months or years based on your needs.
