Site internet outages and loss of connection can cause considerable problems for business operations. SEiNG overcomes disruptions such as these by using Edge Storage technology. During an outage, video footage is temporarily stored locally on cameras or gateways equipped with this feature. As soon as the internet connection is re-established, the system automatically synchronizes the buffered video with the cloud. This process preserves all recorded footage and subsequently uploads it, preventing data loss during disconnection periods. By utilizing edge storage, SEiNG ensures continuous monitoring and recording, even amid internet interruptions.
For devices without edge storage, footage is lost during internet outages. These cameras and gateways rely on a live connection to the cloud for recording and storing video. Without a stable internet connection, they cannot record or transmit video to the cloud. Consequently, any activity during the outage is not recoverable once connectivity resumes.
Edge storage offers a significant advantage in managing internet outages and loss of connection. It acts as a temporary storage solution, holding video data locally until it can be uploaded to the cloud. In areas with unreliable internet, such as remote or rural locations, edge storage mitigates the risk of losing critical security footage.
Maintain comprehensive surveillance coverage.
SEiNG’s use of edge storage helps maintain comprehensive surveillance coverage and data integrity during internet outages. Devices without edge storage cannot retrieve footage if an outage occurs, but those with edge storage provide a buffer that ensures footage is uploaded once the connection is restored. This approach is crucial for maintaining reliable surveillance in environments where internet connectivity is inconsistent.
For users looking to enhance their security system’s resilience to internet outages and loss of connection, we recommend using edge storage-capable equipment. To explore these options and learn how SEiNG can integrate into your security setup, contact us for more information and assistance.
