We have a Hikvision DS-96064NI-I16 NVR with 10 x 8TB drives, and about 35 cameras. We need to retain at least 60 days of data. NVR says IP camera connection is 208 Mbps.
We need to find a way to back up the data in the event the NVR is stolen or destroyed. We're also limited due to our location to 50MBPS internet speed. I think our only option to back it up in real-time is to back up to a local storage device on-site but thought I'd throw the question out here since I'm not very knowledgeable in data storage systems.
Another question I have is how can the data be retrieved if the original NVR is no longer available? I was told once by Hikvision support that if they had to replace the motherboard on our NVR we would need to reformat our drives and lose the data before the new motherboard could use the drives. That seemed odd and a poor solution.
So.....
1) Is there a practical way to back up our data on the cloud in real-time?
2) Is there an issue with reading the data even if we had a mirror copy of the 10 drives if the original NVR is destroyed.?
3) Rather can have the 10 drives in the NVR, could we place them in some storage device in a more secure location on-site where if the NVR is stolen the drives are safe? If so, what hardware would you recommend for the storage unit?
