FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to replace my cameras?
No. Silarius Cloud is ONVIF-based, so you can use your own existing cameras, any model. Existing IP cameras connect through the Silarius Gateway. New Silarius X cameras connect straight to the cloud with no gateway at all.
How long can video be kept?
Retention is set per camera, from a few days up to a year on standard plans, and custom plans keep video for up to 3 years.
What video quality is recorded?
Plans come in three recording-quality tiers, Mobile (720p, up to 500 kbit/s), Pro (1080p, up to 1,000 kbit/s) and 4K (up to 1,600 kbit/s), so you only pay for the quality each camera needs.
How much does Silarius Cloud cost?
Cloud storage starts from $6.99 per camera per month (720p, up to 500 kbit/s). Your price depends on the recording quality, kbit/s and retention you choose for each camera. Every plan and price is on the pricing page, where you can build your exact price and check out online.
Do I need to open ports or change my firewall?
No. Cameras and gateways connect out to the cloud over an encrypted tunnel, so there is no port forwarding and no inbound firewall rule.
