Cloud video backup & retention management
Footage stays safe in the cloud, even if the on-site hardware doesn't. Camzify lets you set per-camera retention policies by days or GB cap, with bulk application per site. The system shows projected storage usage, enables playback and multi-camera comparison, and manages storage allocation across sub-accounts — so a broken or stolen NVR never means lost evidence.
The Est. Storage column is a planning estimate, calculated from each camera's typical bitrate for its resolution — actual usage varies with scene activity and compression.
How recording and retention are controlled
Storage transparency
Provisioned, used, assigned to child accounts, and remaining are always broken out separately, never one blended number.
Flexible retention modes
Set each camera by days, by a GB storage cap, or to record 24/7, whichever fits how that camera is used.
Quick-apply presets
7, 30, 60, or 90-day retention can be pushed to every camera on the account in a single action, no per-camera editing required.
Honest planning estimates
Storage projections are clearly labeled as estimates based on typical bitrate, not dressed up as exact usage figures.
Off-site, even when the hardware isn't
A smashed or stolen NVR is a common way footage disappears right when it matters most. Camzify streams and stores footage off-site in the cloud as it's captured, so the recording survives even if the physical hardware on-site doesn't.
Recording runs continuously or on a schedule, set per camera. Continuous suits anywhere an incident could happen at any hour. Scheduled records only during the hours you define, which is the bluntest and most effective control on storage cost. An interior camera watching an empty office overnight is paying to store twelve hours of nothing. A schedule can be applied to a whole site or to every camera at once rather than set one at a time.
Retention policy is where storage cost and evidence coverage trade off against each other. a high-motion entrance camera at 4K eats storage far faster than a quiet loading dock at 1080p, which is why retention is configurable per camera rather than forced to one account-wide setting. This module integrates with virtual patrolling too, so patrol results, detection alerts, and platform status all feed into the same console, backed by the same off-site retention.
