Advantages of Cloud-Based Security Systems for Your Home

Cloud-Based Home Security Systems are the latest and greatest development in home security, utilizing smart-home technology and integrating it with cloud-based computing and storage to give you the most accessible and secure system possible. Here are some of the many advantages that come with choosing a cloud-based security system for your home.

App Operated: Cloud Based Security Systems can be fully integrated with app functionality allowing you to easily change settings and access the systems at any time from your devices.

Ease of Set-Up: In many cases setting up a cloud-based security system is easier than setting up a local hard-drive to store recordings and data from the system.

Remote Access: Because recordings from your security system are stored remotely, they can be accessed from anywhere.

Remote Storage: In the rare event of physical damage to the system, recordings and data will not be damaged and can be accessed immediately as they are not being stored on site. In many cases this also means that data will be automatically backed up by the service that is storing the data, so there is less risk of losing any crucial footage.

More Storage: Cloud Computing offers more storage for security footage for a lower cost than traditional storage methods.

Monitoring: With a cloud based system you can be alerted immediately should anything effect the operations of a video feed or a camera and in some cases these issues can be fixed on the fly.

Cheaper: The equipment for Cloud-Based Systems is cheaper overall than the same gear for a more traditional on-site recording system. Mainly you won’t need to pay for any additional hard drives for storage as that is included with most plans.

These are just a few of the ways that cloud-based security systems can be more useful than traditional security systems, especially where security cameras are concerned.
