CCTV Cloud Storage
A cost-effective way to store limitless CCTV footage, with immutability so recordings can't be deleted before your 30, 60, 90-day (or longer) retention policy expires.
Video surveillance is generating more data than ever
Advances in IP video surveillance, combined with rising concern for public safety, have driven a huge increase in fixed and mobile video surveillance across law enforcement, cities, retail, large venues, airports, transport hubs and workplaces. The average person is captured on surveillance more than 75 times a day — which means a single day of video surveillance collects petabytes of data worldwide. Ten 4K CCTV cameras recording 12 hours a day for 30 days, using H.264 at medium resolution, create 15.94TB of data on their own.
- Offsite, cannot be deleted, secured and available 24×7×365
- Supports major industry compliance standards
- Facial recognition and other AI/ML analysis run directly against stored footage
- Configurable retention — 30, 60, 90 days or longer

Storage is usually the biggest line item
A leading bodycam vendor charges a flat £57 per month per bodycam, including software and cloud storage. For 100 officers, that's £68,400 a year — £342,000 over a typical 5-year contract, of which roughly £95,000 goes on cameras and the remaining £247,000 on storage and cloud server costs. By comparison, our CCTV cloud storage for 100TB a year across 5 years works out at roughly £42,000.
Airport retention requirements
Airport guidelines require “events” — thefts, reported injuries or conflicts — to be stored for seven years or more. A typical airport captures 20–40 events a day; at ten minutes each across ten cameras, that's 360–720GB a day that needs storing for a minimum of seven years.
