Due to bandwidth needs for a direct-to-cloud solution, adequate internet bandwidth is required for Camera Direct Complete, and no more than six cameras are recommended per location to ensure no impact to business internet. Because this solution does not include an Eagle Eye Bridge, which helps with bandwidth management, it is recommended to limit the number of cameras.
If there is a loss of internet connectivity, the video is stored locally (on an SD Card), and automatically synced to the cloud upon reconnection.
Camera Direct Complete is built for businesses looking for an affordable business surveillance solution.
Pricing for Camera Direct Complete is based on the number of cameras plus the resolution and retention period for each camera. All costs are rolled into a subscription plan, eliminating the need for upfront costs.
