Why Cloud?
The physical security landscape is changing fast. For decades, video surveillance depended on local hardware, such as NVRs, on‑prem VMS servers, and complex camera‑to‑server networks that were expensive to deploy, difficult to scale, and time‑consuming to maintain. As expectations for real‑time visibility, mobile access, and AI‑powered insights continue to rise, it’s become clear that the cloud is no longer a “nice‑to‑have” but the foundation of a more agile, scalable, and modern approach to security. The Edge-to-Cloud Revolution This shift is being driven by two major forces: Today’s cloud platforms deliver reliability, elasticity, and global availability that simply can’t be [...]
MicroSD Storage: The Ideal Primary Storage for Modern Surveillance Solutions
There’s a long-standing perception that Solid-State Drives (SSDs) or even magnetic hard drives are inherently more reliable than microSD™ cards for surveillance applications. While SSDs and HDDs have their strengths, when it comes to in-camera storage, modern microSD cards — combined with a well-designed camera platform — can provide reliability, performance, and flexibility for your requirements. (For simplicity, we’ll refer to Solid-State Drives as SSDs throughout this article.) In solutions such as Oncam’s next-generation architecture, microSD cards serve as the primary storage, delivering exceptional performance and reliability without the need for traditional NVRs, central servers, or extensive internet bandwidth.
