DVR\NVR Internet Data usage Questions

[JRJakkals]

Hello Everybody

Here is my scenario. I have a client with 2-4 CCTV cameras and a DVR\NVR controller. Client will use CCTV app to check for a few minutes what is going on in his shop. I have a few questions on internet usage.

1. Does the DVR\NVR controller send data\stream data continuously over the internet to the CCTV(HikVision\Dahua) cloud server?
2. Or will DVR\NVR controller only send data\stream data when you open the CCTV app?

These questions will give me a answer on what Internet data package the client need to get

Thanks\Kind Regards

Depends on setup. If you set it up local. No. I you have set it up with cloud storage then yes.

I use Agent DVR it natively supports uploading to the cloud with a paid account.

You will need to consult your DVR's documentation or check data usage with and without DVR connected.

It should only increase data usage while using the app to watch the stream.

The recorder will only send the video stream if you are live viewing or playing back from the DMSS App, it does
not send out any video stream when not using the App.
So this means I can get a small LTE internet data package like 40-80GB per month.

My HikVision system displays the data usage real-time whilst I have the app open. It only streams to server once I open the App to remote view. Usually use 2-4mb/s when viewing on the 'basic' view and >10mb/s when viewing in 'HD' mode.
