NAS Vs Cloud

[jonnyhatesjaz 0]

Hi folks,

 

I'm currently setting up a CCTV solution for a client. 3 X IP cameras linked to a DVR, taking one image every 5 minutes.

 

I need to pull images off weekly / monthly to form timelapse videos and I need to make copies of all images for general backup purposes. The cameras will in in place for multiple months.

 

I'm inclined to go for a cloud based solution (backing up to Amazon S3, Google Cloud, or Drive) but can't seem to find any examples of this. Searching through the forum a lot of people seem to back up to a NAS.

 

A cloud solution via FTP would be ideal for me as I wouldn't have to worry about hardware or uptime failures.

 

Just wondering if anyone has successfully tried backing up to cloud services and if it's a viable solution Vs NAS.

 

Thanks,

 

J.
