As many others are rushing toward dazzling cloud storage such as Google Drive to store surveillance videos, traditional SD Card local storage seems to be kicked out the stage. However, combining the advantages of SD Card and AirLive’s innovative APP Cam able to perform playback, *writing error detection and download, AirLive gives you a different user experience!
Two years ago, in a project
with Egyptian telecommunications, Etisalat, we discussed the possibility of
cloud storage. Nevertheless, after considering the pros and cons, we favored SD Card local storage still. SD
Card actually provides larger and more stable storage as well as better privacy
than cloud storage. Firstly, SD Card can offer much larger space than 5GB, which is usually the capacity of free
cloud storage. Thus, you may store more surveillance videos in SD card without extra fees. Even when
you do 7/24 recording, local storage performs continual recycling recording. The latest recording will be
kept rather than deleted. Besides, local storage is more stable because it is not affected by low internet
bandwidth or random disconnection. You may avoid the misfortune of video loss.
Lastly, SD Card can be seen as protection
of our privacy. Unselective video streaming onto the cloud exposes
everything of us to the public. In contrast, choosing suitable video clips in
SD Card to share with others will better protect our privacy. These advantages
make traditional local storage a safety net for videos and for us.
Taking advantage of these, AirLive steps upwards with innovative APP Cam. With APP Cam, you can play videos back, download them and *be notified of SD Card failure. These functions push SD Card to a more powerful storage device. You can directly reach the video in SD Card anytime, anywhere instead of accessing the server first. Right on your mobile phone or tablet, you can play videos back, and even carry the video files with you by simple download to your devices. What’s better, there will be *writing error detection to monitor the situation of SD Card. Once an error occurs, the APP will alert you to the problem. You may have immediate check to keep the video in its normal streaming. The APP Cam not only performs more functions, but also gives you double protection of the video streaming.
