Overview
The Spot AI system is edge storage but has cloud storage capabilities.
Local Storage
All video that is ingested to the appliance is stored on the appliance. This allows for lots of storage at a much better price versus cloud storage, as cloud storage can get very expensive. The downside is in the event the appliance goes offline due to power issues or internet issues, the video (while still safely stored on the appliance) will be inaccessible until the appliance is brought back online.
Cloud Storage
All of the thumbnails used for segment scrubbing are stored in the cloud. Also, any clips that are shared or added to cases are stored in the cloud. Cloud stored video is accessible at all times, even if the appliance it was originally recorded on goes offline.
