Intelligent use of storage and network
Choice between three video storage principles:
1. Storage only in remote system
• No need to shift video across the network
• Playback made directly from the remote
system
2. Storage only in central system
• Optimize the cost and maintenance of the
remote system
3. Hybrid remote and central storage
• Initial storage in local system
• Only retrieve relevant recordings from remote site
• Time-scheduled or request-based retrieval
with bandwidth cap
