Wi-Fi security videos & BT Cloud storage

TimC1 — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 11:49:04 GMT

Does anyone know whether BT Cloud works with any of the Wi-Fi security technologies to store the videos in the BT Cloud. I'd prefer having a single location for files and videos and also one bill for storage.

Testing my Wi-Fi doorbell gives me the live videos to my iphone App but no visible option to store locally. I can pay extra by subscription for Video storage from the same Wi-Fi doorbell provider. Prefer not yet another when I've already got iCloud and BT Cloud ?

It depends on what doorbell you're using.

I have in the past had a camera setup to FTP both stills and videos to a sub folder of my BT Cloud Sync folder on my PC, but to be honest performance wasn't great

Thanks very much Les. I'm looking for something that is out of the box straight forward 🙂

I'm testing a Ring3+ Doorbell. The video quality is good day & night (infra red) and captures snapshots when there's movement. I like the standard functions of the device. I'm just disappointed its limiting the cloud storage option to their own service under additional premium functionality with +£ monthly subscription on top after purchase.

I'm looking to expand to external spotlight security cameras but want a single manufacturer (brand) solution. All snapshot videos to save locally and so use my preferred Cloud storage.
