Security footage can be stored locally on a network video recorder or online in the cloud.

An NVR stores video on hard drives at your property without monthly fees, while cloud storage keeps footage safe even if equipment is stolen. Many people use both.

Pin Tip

Keep your NVR in a hidden, locked location.

Stay Within the Law

Use cameras to protect your own property, never to record places where people expect privacy such as bathrooms or bedrooms of others. Recording laws vary, and audio recording carries extra rules. When in doubt, speak with an attorney before installing or using any surveillance system.

Professional Help

For investigations, licensed professionals know how to gather evidence lawfully. Ohio Security & Investigations, a licensed Ohio agency, can be reached at (888) 341-6960 for confidential consultations.
