Cloud NVR Benefits
- Eliminate NVR hardware costs. No expensive server replacements, no RAID storage array purchases, cloud NVR charges only for the storage you use.
- No server maintenance or replacement. Your IT team doesn't manage on-premise NVR hardware. Resolute handles it all.
- Storage scales automatically as you grow. Add cameras. Extend retention. Increase locations. Cloud storage grows with you without infrastructure investment.
- Access footage from anywhere, from any device. Not trapped on-site. Not locked to a local network. Managed cloud NVR gives you remote access natively.
- Complete backup & disaster recovery. Automatic geographic redundancy means your footage survives hardware failure, fire, or facility damage.
- Compliance-ready recording & retention. Automatic audit trails, retention policies, and chain-of-custody documentation meet HIPAA, government, and financial regulations without manual work.
- Faster incident investigations. Centralized search across all locations and retention periods. Find evidence in minutes instead of hours.
Core Cloud NVR Features
Unlimited cloud video storage
Your on-premise NVR records continuously. Cloud NVR extends retention beyond what local storage can handle. 6 months. 12 months. 3 years. Store what compliance requires without hardware constraints.
Automatic backup & redundancy
Footage recorded on your on-site NVR automatically backs upto cloud. Geographically distributed data centers mean that hardware failure at one location doesn't impact your footage.
Multi-location recording management
Multi-location retention management. Each site keeps recording locally. Cloud NVR ensures footage from all locations is retained, backed up, and compliance-ready regardless of what happens to on-site hardware.
Automatic storage scaling
As you add cameras or extend retention requirements, cloud NVR storage scales automatically. No manual provisioning. No capacity planning conversations.
Zero hardware maintenance
Your on-site infrastructure (cameras, switches, firewalls) stays in place and operational. Resolute manages the cloud storage, backups, and redundancy.
Secure encryption & compliance
All footage is encrypted in transit and at rest. Audit trails, retention policies, and access logs are built in for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and government compliance.
Traditional NVR vs. Cloud-based NVR Service
| Consideration | Cloud | On-Premise |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware Investment | $10K–$100K+ upfront for servers and storage | Reduced hardware costs; pay for storage and support only |
| Server Maintenance | Ongoing IT staff or Resolute managing hardware, replacing failed drives | No maintenance burden |
| Storage Capacity | Fixed but expandable capacity can be more expensive | Scalable storage grows with your needs |
| Disaster Recovery | Single on-site location; hardware failure = data loss unless RAID is configured | Automatic geographic redundancy; always protected |
| Remote Access | Native cloud access from anywhere | Native cloud access from anywhere |
| Compliance Retention | Backup and audit trails require ongoing management | Automatic compliance documentation and retention |
| On-Site Infrastructure | Cameras, cabling, switches, and firewalls are required | Cameras, cabling, switches, and firewalls are required |
| Cost | Higher up-front costs, lower total cost of ownership after four years | Lower upfront cost, higher total cost of ownership after four years |
The Two-Layer NVR Approach
Traditional on-premise NVRs can have problems: hardware fails without warning, replacement is expensive, single points of failure risk data loss, fixed storage limits create capacity crunches, managing multiple on-site NVRs across locations becomes fragmented.
We recommend supplementing on-premise NVR with cloud NVR or cloud storage , not replacing it. Your cameras and on-site recording infrastructure remain the primary layer. Cloud storage becomes your secondary retention and protection layer.
This hybrid approach preserves what works (local recording reliability) while solving what on-premise alone can't (long-term retention, multi-location compliance, disaster recovery, remote access).
Industries Using Cloud NVR
- Logistics & Warehouses. Multiple distribution centers recording continuously. Cloud NVR consolidates all footage for compliance, investigation, and multi-location visibility.
- Retail Chains. 50 stores, each with local recording. Compliance and loss prevention require centralized video management across all locations. Managed cloud NVR aggregates everything.
- Government Agencies. Retention requirements span years. Cloud NVR handles compliance-ready storage without on-site infrastructure burden.
- Healthcare Facilities. HIPAA requires specific retention and audit trails. Cloud NVR stores footage securely with automatic compliance documentation.
- Manufacturing. Equipment monitoring and safety incident documentation. Cloud NVR extends local recording with long-term compliance retention.
- Multi-Location Enterprises. Any organization managing video across multiple sites benefits from centralized cloud NVR instead of fragmented on-premise systems.
- Cold Chain Operations. Temperature monitoring integrated with security footage. Cloud NVR stores both for chain-of-custody documentation.
Cloud NVR Security & Compliance
Automatic compliance with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and government retention requirements. Encrypted storage, audit-proof retention, chain-of-custody documentation, and secure access control built into the platform.
All footage encrypted in transit and at rest. Every access logged. Retention policies enforced automatically. Compliance reports generate on demand.
