1. Assess
Review existing cameras, network, storage, coverage gaps and remote-access requirements.
Design, deploy, improve or migrate IP camera systems using local NVR/NAS storage sized around your actual retention needs.
Cloud camera plans can be convenient, but they aren't the only option. Local storage can provide predictable ownership and retention without a recurring recording fee.
Camera count, resolution, frame rate, retention target, available bandwidth and physical layout all affect the right design.
Review existing cameras, network, storage, coverage gaps and remote-access requirements.
Size storage, choose the recording architecture and determine what can be reused.
Install or migrate, validate recording and access, document the system and support future expansion.
