Cloud archive for your CCTV recordings
A recorder standing next to the thing it records is a single point of failure. CVR keeps pushing the material to a second location — into storage that is yours.
- UniFi Protect over an encrypted tunnel, plus SFTP, FTPS and FTP
- Playback in the panel for MP4 recordings; other formats as a download
- Ransomware protection on the storage side
- Retention: we warn you at 90% full, then rotate the oldest clips
- Pay for what you use — resize whenever you need to
- Encryption at rest and write-once (WORM) against ransomware
- Desktop app that syncs your files in the background
- The storage stays yours — the same files, also outside CVR
What an off-site copy actually protects you from
Three failures that a recorder alone cannot survive — and each of them ends the same way: the footage you need is the footage that is gone.
Theft and vandalism
Whoever takes the recorder takes the evidence with it. The copy sits somewhere they cannot reach.
Fire and flooding
The event you would want on tape is often the same event that destroys the disk it is on.
Disk failure and overwrite
Recorders overwrite in a loop. The material you need is frequently older than the loop.
Four steps to keeping your footage safe
You point at a bucket
In the panel you choose the storage space you own in WebDisk Files. CVR writes under the cvr/ prefix.
The recorder gets an account
We create an ingest account and hand you the settings: server, port, user and password. SFTP where the device supports it, FTPS where it only offers FTP with TLS, and plain FTP only for devices that can do neither.
Footage reaches our ingest
With UniFi Protect we pull the recordings through a WireGuard tunnel that your gateway sets up. Other recorders send files over the internet straight to our ingest point — over SFTP or FTPS the connection is encrypted, over plain FTP it is not.
The archive builds itself
Recordings land in your bucket, get indexed and become searchable by time — without anyone touching anything. UniFi Protect and a NAS replicating to S3 give you the full archive; an ordinary recorder sends what it can — most often event clips (motion, alarm) rather than continuous recording.
What you get
Storage that stays yours
The bucket belongs to your WebDisk Files account. Cancel CVR and the material is still yours, in your own space.
SFTP, FTPS and FTP
Including recorders that only know how to send still frames. A device without SFTP is not a device we refuse: if it has FTPS, the data travels encrypted, and plain FTP is left for hardware that can do nothing else. The recorder decides what gets sent: many models only upload event clips over FTP — check before buying whether yours can upload continuously.
How the transfer is protected
WireGuard for UniFi Protect, SSH for SFTP, TLS for FTPS, and always TLS from our ingest to the storage. Plain FTP is the exception: it is not encrypted, so we keep it for devices that can do nothing else. No open port on the recorder.
Time index
A scan builds the timeline — and a preview for MP4 recordings — so finding the right hour does not mean downloading a day.
Audit trail
Which recording was played or downloaded, and when. It is somebody's footage — that question gets asked eventually.
Per recorder, not per gigabyte
CVR is billed per connected recorder. Capacity is a separate decision, made in Files.
Already backing up to a NAS? Keep it
If your recorder writes to a NAS and the NAS replicates to S3, change nothing. Point CVR at that bucket, re-index, and the archive is browsable — no reconfiguring a working installation.
Who is behind this
Your camera footage ends up with us. You have a right to know who that is — and on what terms.
