For homes and families

Homes and families

Footage that is still safe even if the DVR is not.

An example scenario. This page describes a typical situation. It is not a customer story, and it does not promise a particular result.

The situation

A family has four cameras around the house and a DVR in a cupboard. Power cuts, a loose cable or a failed hard disk can stop recording without anyone noticing, until the day the footage is needed.

Why keeping footage off-site matters here

  • A DVR inside the house can be stolen or damaged in the same incident you want to review.
  • Hard disks in a DVR run for years without a break, and they fail without warning. A failed disk often means no footage and no warning.
  • When you are away, you want to check on the house from your phone, not wait until you are home.

How CamBytes helps

  • Footage is kept off-site, so it survives whatever happens at home.
  • Live view and day-by-day playback from any phone or computer browser.
  • An email when a camera stops sending video, so you are not surprised weeks later.

What you save

  • No large surveillance hard disk to buy, and none to replace as it wears out.
  • No risk of footage lost to a failed or corrupted disk at your premises.
  • No recorder to repair, or a technician to call out.
  • Cameras that can be reached over the internet can send footage straight to the cloud, with no disk or recorder on site at all.

A typical setup

2 to 8 cameras, usually the 7-day or 15-day plan.
