![]() With cloud and edge storage solutions, the VMS typically runs in the cloud therefore, the overall architecture is designed from the ground up for ease of remote management, eliminating the need for dedicated, local management and storage appliances and associated IT management overhead. ![]() As shown in Figure 1, with standalone NVR, NAS or PC-based recorders, there is usually a physical on-premise appliance that acts as the primary way to manage cameras and the entire system, and it requires software upgrades and associated IT management. Typically, the location of the video management software (VMS) indicates the management architecture of the system. This minimizes the need for continuous use of the network to transmit data to central on-site or offsite/cloud locations. The video stream generated by an IP camera is stored in the IP camera itself, using a flash-based microSD memory card. The video stream generated by IP camera will be transmitted and stored onto a remote cloud storage space, typically available as a subscription service from various public or private cloud vendors. This recorder typically uses off-the-shelf PC hardware with built-in or customer-installed video management software and hard disk drives as storage media. ![]() The video stream generated by an IP camera is transmitted and stored in an onsite PC-based recorder. The video stream generated by an IP camera is transmitted and stored in an onsite NAS system, which is a file-level computer data storage system with add-on surveillance software, typically using HDDs as storage media. The video stream generated by an IP camera is transmitted and stored in an onsite standalone NVR system, which consists of dedicated embedded hardware with built-in surveillance-specific software and storage media, typically hard disk drives (HDDs). Generally, there are five types of storage solutions for an SMB:ġ. Storage Solutions for Small- and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs) This brief discusses the total cost of ownership (TCO) implications of different storage solutions currently promoted in the SMB market. Choosing the right video storage solution requires a detailed understanding of the requirements, tradeoffs and options available for SMBs. Video storage is a critical element in today’s surveillance systems. ![]() SMB use cases include retail stores like restaurants and shops, small/medium-size offices, health care clinics, school campuses, small hotels and apartment communities, etc. Within the professional/commercial sector, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are a rapid growth driver. This is a growing market with new innovations that are not only able to protect our property and improve commercial insights, but also significantly improve the ease of system deployment and management at much lower cost structures-broadening the use case for professional video surveillance. The industry forecast for worldwide network surveillance camera shipments is expected to grow from 66 million units to approximately 200 million units, with 20% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), from 2016-2021 1. Innovative technology adoptions-such as artificial intelligence/deep learning, machine vision, edge and cloud computing, and the internet of things (IoT) -are transforming the surveillance industry.
