NAS (Network-Attached Storage) is a physical device on your local network — your data stays on-premises, access does not depend on internet speed, and there are no ongoing subscription fees beyond the hardware. Cloud storage is hosted remotely by a provider; it offers off-site redundancy but incurs monthly costs and depends on internet connectivity. Many businesses use NAS as primary storage with cloud as backup.
A 16-camera CCTV system recording at 1080p 24/7 typically consumes 5–8TB per month depending on compression settings and motion-triggered vs continuous recording. For 30-day retention, plan for 8–16TB usable capacity. NEXT IN™ sizes NAS storage to match your camera count, resolution and retention requirement.
A NAS unit does not require a full server cabinet, but it should be placed in a ventilated, stable environment — ideally near the network switch it connects to. For offices with an existing network rack or patch panel cabinet, NAS can be rack-mounted. NEXT IN™ advises on placement as part of the broader network infrastructure plan.
