Can anyone recommend a cost effective cloud storage solution that is integrated with Milestone Express+?
I am looking for a product that will enable off site redundant recording with low to moderate recurring monthly fees.
Any suggestions?
Cloud Storage For Milestone?
I am not aware of anything integrated with Milestone Express+, but I emailed Milestone for feedback and a response.
If such solutions exist, could you provide some detail on products compatible with higher grade versions of XProtect like Professional, Expert, Corporate? Thanks!
In order to do redundant recording in Milestone, you essentially just have to add the camera to two different recording servers. You won't be able to do this with Express+ though because it only supports one Recording Server.
We haven't done official testing with cloud except for Microsoft Azure but they should all essentially function the same as long as the cloud instance has enough resources.
Thanks Jared!
Do you have any details you can share on your tests with Azure?
I assume that you connect to Azure by mounting the drive as a UNC path?
What frame rates were you able to achieve in testing?
We have a white paper on the certification we did. It isn't hosted on our website anymore because it is a few years old but you can download it from here:

What cameras are you using? I would look into something that supports camera to the cloud versus integrating with Milestone.
