No! You don’t need DVR (Digital Video Recorder) or NVR (Network Video Recorder) recorders to store video footage with SEiNG. Traditionally, security systems use DVRs and NVRs to record video from analogue or IP cameras. However, modern advancements in technology have made Cloud-Based storage solutions a more convenient and flexible alternative.

Cloud storage eliminates the need for physical recording devices by securely storing all video footage on remote servers. You can access your recordings from anywhere, at any time, using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. This convenience is particularly useful for users who need to monitor their properties while travelling or away from the premises.
Moreover, cloud storage provides significant advantages in security and scalability. Physical recorders can be damaged, stolen, or fail due to hardware issues. In contrast, cloud storage keeps your data backed up and protected. Most cloud storage services also offer scalable plans, allowing you to increase storage capacity as your needs grow, without the need for additional hardware.
Additionally, sharing footage is much easier with cloud-based storage. You can quickly share access to specific videos or live feeds with family members, employees, or law enforcement. This feature is especially valuable in situations that require immediate attention or investigation.
In summary, while DVR and NVR recorders have been the traditional standard for video surveillance, cloud-based solutions offer a more modern, flexible, and secure way to store and manage your video footage. By choosing cloud storage, you avoid the need for bulky equipment and enjoy the convenience of accessing your videos from anywhere.
