The storage architecture moves from local NVR to cloud-edge collaboration, and the hybrid model is favored by medium-sized projects
Local storage ensures reliability and low latency, the cloud provides remote access and centralized management, and hybrid architecture is increasingly used in medium-sized multi-branch projects.

Comparison of three architectures

ArchitectureAdvantagesApplicable
Local NVRLow latency, not dependent on external networkSingle site, centralized points
Cloud storageRemote access, maintenance-freeSmall stores, scattered locations
Hybrid (cloud-edge collaboration)Balancing reliability and centralized managementMulti-branch medium-sized projects

Practical methods of hybrid architecture

  • Local storage of full volume: Ensure that recording is not interrupted during network outages;
  • Key storage in the cloud: Only alarm clips and key channels are uploaded;
  • Unified platform:The headquarters can view all branches through one platform;
  • Bandwidth control: Dual stream, use sub-stream for upload.
