Cloud Storage Retention Period

The following chart shows the comparative cloud storage retention period when using 1GB of cloud storage. Different camera models and settings (using the NetCamPro Wizard) are listed. Cloud storage is circular: when it fills up the oldest files are automatically removed to make room for the new.

.

Users may experience different retention periods than those listed below. When there are more motion events (such as busy traffic), the cloud storage fills up fast. As a result the retention period is reduced. When there are less motion events (such as a quiet backyard) the retention period is increased.
