When you want to monitor for home intrusions, keep an eye on your baby and children, and watch the dog, all at the same time, Cloud Home Security Camera or Wi-Fi Cloud Cameras are good choices. They use a Web Portal, rather than a smartphone, computer, laptop, etc., for monitoring, yet you can use those devices to check in through the Web Portal.
This way, you do not have to record anything manually or, in other words, on a DVR or through the camera using replaceable cards
Dummying it All Down
The Cloud
Don’t confuse the cloud with the white puffy things in the sky. The cloud, in terms of Wi-Fi Cameras and other things technology, isn’t a physical entity. It’s actually a network of distinct servers. Some servers run applications while others store data.
If you take a photo with your smartphone and save it to the phone, it’s stored on the phone’s internal memory drive. If you then upload the photo to Facebook, you upload it to the cloud.
Web Portal
A Web Portal isn’t a Twilight Zone doorway or Star Trek destination. It’s a specifically designed website that functions as an access point for information. The site usually brings in data from different sources in a constant manner.
A Web Portal can also be thought of as a collection of individualized and labeled content. It helps in search navigation, notification, personalization, and data assimilation.
Put it Together
As mentioned earlier, when you use a Cloud Surveillance Camera and upload what you recorded to your device’s cloud, you do so through the device’s Web Portal, which you access through your smartphone, laptop, computer, or any device.
It’s always going to sound a bit confusing, especially because of the techno language. But, hopefully, this clear things up, at least a little.
