Here’s Why Cloud-based Video Surveillance Is More Secure

Ever since the cloud has been used to seamlessly store footage, security companies have been encouraging their clients to use it. Despite this, many businesses have been hesitant to upgrade their security systems from a traditional air-gapped network video recorder (NVR) to cloud-based. As these familiar systems still did the job and functioned, there was little incentive to make the change to new technology.
