Cloud Storage Benefits
Your on-premise NVRs, powered by Resolute's AVCA compression technology, handle continuous recording with superior video quality and local redundancy. Cloud storage for NVR extends that by:
- 12+ month retention without expanding your server room
- Multi-location compliance aggregation from a single dashboard
- Geographic data residency requirements that your local hardware can't meet alone.
- Instant off-site backup in disaster scenarios. These are the gaps cloud fills.
The net result? You keep the total cost of ownership advantage of edge recording, no massive recurring cloud fees, no rip-and-replace infrastructure costs while gaining the compliance and recovery protection that pure on-prem setups can't deliver.
Core Cloud Storage Features
Your NVR cloud storage solution includes:
Secure off-site archive for extended retention
Footage doesn't disappear when your appliance hits capacity. You preserve video beyond local hardware limits without constantly buying new drives.
Automatic tiered retention
Recent footage stays on-premise for instant access. Older footage moves to the cloud automatically based on your rules. No manual intervention needed.
Compliance-ready retention policies & audit trails
Pre-built policies for HIPAA, government, financial sector. Full logging of every access. You're not guessing; the system was designed for regulation.
Multi-data center redundancy for disaster recovery
Your footage lives in geographically separate locations. If one data center fails, your video is safe somewhere else.
Military-grade AES-256 encryption
Encrypted in transit and at rest. Your video data stays protected whether it's moving or archived.
Advanced video search & retrieval across distributed sites
Query footage from multiple locations without managing separate interfaces. One dashboard, all your footage.
Automatic archival management (age-based tiering
Old footage automatically transitions to cost-optimized storage tiers. You're not paying premium cloud rates for five-year-old video.
Zero additional hardware maintenance at the edge
Cloud doesn't require new appliances or infrastructure at your recording locations.
Hybrid Architecture: The Cost-Smart Approach
Most people think cloud storage for NVR means ripping out on-premise equipment. It doesn't. Your local appliances stay in place; they're your primary recording layer. Cloud becomes the secondary retention and protection layer.
Here's the workflow: Local NVR continuously records at the edge → Video flows to the cloud for archival → Multi-site enterprises view all locations from one dashboard → Disaster recovery is automatic.
This hybrid model preserves the cost advantage of on-premise hardware (better TCO than recurring cloud-only fees) while giving you the flexibility and compliance benefits of the cloud.
Real Impact: Hybrid Storage in Action
Consider a mid-market enterprise managing compliance retention requirements.
Before: On-premise appliance handled live operations well. But a six-month retention compliance requirement meant expensive secondary storage hardware. Capex hit $12K per location. Ongoing maintenance, power costs, replacement cycles. Plus disaster risk, facility damage meant 30 days of unrecoverable data loss.
After Resolute Hybrid: On-premise NVR continues daily recording at full fidelity. AVCA compression reduces local storage demand by 70%. Cloud automatically archives 12-month retention for compliance audits. Disaster scenario? Footage recovers from off-site backup within hours, not days. Single integrated monitoring dashboard across all locations. No recurring cloud fees exceeding the TCO of on-prem hardware.
That's the hybrid advantage. You're not choosing between reliable edge recording and compliance protection. You're getting both.
Industry Use Cases
- Healthcare: HIPAA retention, incident evidence, access audits.
- Government: Security clearance requirements, compliance documentation, long-term evidence preservation.
- Retail: Loss prevention, dispute resolution, employee conduct investigations.
- Logistics: Chain-of-custody documentation, shipment tracking evidence.
- Banking: Fraud investigation, regulatory compliance, incident reconstruction.
- Manufacturing: Safety investigations, equipment monitoring, accident evidence.
- Multi-location enterprises: Centralized storage, consolidated compliance, unified security posture.
Why Choose Resolute for Hybrid Cloud Storage
On-prem expertise first. Our NVR appliances use proven compression (AVCA technology delivers 70% storage cost reduction) and proven reliability. We design on-prem-first, then add cloud strategically.
Cloud as strategic addition. We design hybrid architectures, not cloud-only replacements, that align with your budget and operational risk. Your equipment keeps performing. Cloud adds protection without overhead.
Better total cost of ownership. On-prem hardware upfront is cheaper long-term than recurring cloud fees alone. Hybrid balances both.
Compliance-ready by design. Automatic tiering, audit trails, and retention policies meet healthcare, government, and financial regulations. The system was built for it.
Off-site disaster recovery that works. Cloud backup protects against hardware failure, fire, and data center loss without eliminating your reliable edge recording.
Multi-site consolidation at scale. Manage one location or 100 from a single interface. NVR cloud storage aggregates all footage, all locations, all compliance evidence.
Zero rip-and-replace. Works with your existing NVRs and cameras. Add cloud without overhauling infrastructure.
24/7 professional management. Our team engineers your hybrid architecture and monitors it continuously. We handle the complexity so you focus on operations.
