The recorder shouldn’tbe the only copy

Keep a copy if the recorder is stolen. We store your uploaded clips and snapshots off-site.

Will my cameras work?

SFTP equipment connects directly. FTP and FTPS equipment needs Sync Bridge running at your customer’s site.

Need the bridge as well?

Available as a managed pilot. The free 5 GB offer covers SFTP storage. Confirm the bridge setup scope and any charges with us before connecting the site.

Discuss your bridge setup

Before you connect a customer’s site

Does my equipment work?

Check the upload settings and documentation for the exact camera or recorder model and firmware. Equipment that uploads files over SFTP can connect directly. FTP or explicit FTPS (AUTH TLS) requires Sync Bridge on the customer’s network. Check which clips or snapshots the model can export, then test an upload and download before adding it to your customer’s service.

Where does the bridge run?

At your customer’s site, on a Windows or Linux computer or in Docker. The camera connects to that local host; Sync Bridge connects outbound to our SFTP storage over port 22. The host must be running and reachable for transfers. Choose explicit FTPS when supported; plain FTP is unencrypted and belongs on a restricted, trusted local network.

How long are files kept?

Storage capacity is listed in GB, rather than days of footage. How much footage fits depends on the files your equipment uploads. A retention period and automatic cleanup policy are not specified in the current offer. Confirm the retention requirements for your customer’s site with us before relying on a set number of days.

What happens when storage fills?

The current offer does not specify how uploads are handled at the storage limit. Confirm this with us before putting the setup into service. Measure a representative batch of uploads to choose enough capacity, and agree how files will be removed or storage expanded. Do not assume old footage is automatically deleted to make room.

What happens during an internet outage?

Files cannot reach the remote storage while the site is offline. Sync Bridge works on the remote file system and does not retain a permanent local copy. Any queuing, retry, or resend behavior depends on the camera or recorder. Check its documentation and test an interrupted upload; automatic catch-up is not guaranteed.
