The Challenges with Conventional Cloud-Based Surveillance
Traditional cloud-based surveillance services continuously record and process video streams from surveillance cameras. While convenient, this approach has significant limitations:
1. Data Loss on Poor Internet Connection: Video streams may be interrupted or lost when the internet connection is unreliable.
2. False Alarms: Continuous surveillance often leads to false positives, requiring human intervention to sort out.
3. Cost Per Camera: Cloud-based solutions can be expensive, especially when deploying multiple cameras.
4. Limited Video Retention: Due to the cost of cloud storage, these services often have limitations on how long the video data can be stored.
