Secure, Reliable Cloud Video Storage Solutions for Home & Business
Never lose footage again. Upgrade your security camera system with encrypted, redundant cloud backup from GL Electronics.
Overview & How It Works
Traditional NVR and DVR local recording systems are vulnerable to physical theft, drive failure, hardware tampering, and localized events like fires or electrical surges.
Our Cloud Video Storage service bridges your physical security cameras directly to secure off-site servers. Your camera captures footage, encrypts the data locally, and instantly transfers high-definition video directly to the cloud. You retain 24/7 access to live feeds and recorded archives right from your smartphone, tablet, or desktop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about adding cloud video storage.
Do I need to replace my existing cameras to add cloud storage?
Not necessarily! Compatibility with existing cameras primarily depends on whether they support the standard ONVIF protocol. Most modern IP security cameras are ONVIF-compliant, allowing GL Electronics to connect to them without requiring a full hardware replacement. We evaluate your current camera system during our free site assessment to determine compatibility.
How much internet bandwidth does cloud storage use?
Our setups utilize smart streaming compression (H.265/H.265+) and custom bandwidth throttling to send crisp video without bottlenecking your home or business network.
