The rapid growth of technology in the last decade or so has made so many common things obsolete in the present day, one of which is cables. Home security services working over cables is now a thing of the past. Cloud surveillance and cloud storage are considered to be the optimal way of operating your home security services. But as with all good things, this modern technology is no stranger to misconceptions and general fear among the people. So here are 4 common misconceptions about cloud surveillance that are not true. 

• Expensive: To most people, cloud surveillance can seem to be very expensive when compared to the traditional video recording process because of its monthly charging fee. While it does sound to be more expensive, but in the long run, it is more cost-effective. To get more storage for your recording, you only need to buy storage and that’s all rather than upgrading your whole recording system like earlier days. With cloud surveillance, all updates are done automatically over the internet.
• Complicated setups: Another reason for people to misunderstand cloud surveillance has to be with its setups. To many people, connecting your cameras with the cloud can seem to be a complicated process, but in reality, it is easier to set up than a traditional video recording system as it does not require wires and cables to work with. With cloud surveillance, all your cameras are linked to an application that controls the cameras without any additional cables and wires going throughout the house. 
• Security: One of the main misconceptions is probably that cloud services are not secure because everything is uploaded online. Cloud service providers are always updating their hardware and software to protect your data against cyberattacks. Unlike traditional recordings, there is no physical device storing your recordings, thus, omitting the risk of getting your footage stolen or lost. 
• Overall a complex system: Unlike a traditional video surveillance system, a cloud surveillance system is easier to use and maintain. It is also not easy to hack and get into your system as cloud service providers provide protection against malware and cyber thefts 24×7. Everything can be done over the internet, ensuring an easy and safe home security surveillance service. Also, you can add as many cameras as you need with this system without having operators in your house for installation. 

With all these myths getting busted, it’s time to get your cloud surveillance in place and stay safe.
