Overview
The Spot AI platform leverages a hybrid storage system, utilizing both edge storage (local) and cloud storage capabilities.
Local Storage
Video content ingested by the Spot AI appliance is stored directly on the appliance itself. This offers substantial storage capacity at a fraction of the cost compared to cloud storage, which can be significantly more expensive. However, one limitation of local storage is that in the event of power or internet disruption, the stored video - while safe on the appliance - will be inaccessible until the appliance is back online.
Cloud Storage
Spot AI utilizes cloud storage for several key functions. Firstly, all the thumbnails used for segment scrubbing are stored in the cloud. Additionally, any video clips that are shared or added to cases are also stored in the cloud. The advantage of cloud storage is its constant accessibility. Even if the original recording appliance goes offline or the camera gets deleted, the video stored in the cloud remains available.
Cloud storage for clips can be toggled off by navigating to 'Configure > Settings' and unchecking 'Saved Clip Backup'.
