What is the cheapest cloud storage for business security cameras?
For business cameras you already own, the lowest published starting prices are Videoloft at $4.99 and Silarius Cloud at $6.99 per camera per month. Consumer plans such as Wyze Cam Plus ($2.99) and Lorex Connect Cloud+ ($5.99) cost less, but they only record their own brand's Wi-Fi cameras; Silarius Cloud records almost any IP camera, NVR or DVR and publishes the price of every quality and retention level.

How to compare cloud storage prices fairly
A low monthly price can hide what you give up. Check three things before you compare numbers: which cameras the plan records, how many days of video it keeps, and at what quality.
Consumer plans are cheap because they cover one brand of Wi-Fi camera. Business plans cost more per camera because they record the IP cameras, NVRs and DVRs a business already has.
- Does it record the cameras you already own, or do you have to replace them?
- How many days of video does the starting price keep, and what do 30 or 90 days cost?
- Is the price per camera, and is there on-site hardware to buy?
- Is there a contract, or can you cancel month to month?
How to keep a Silarius Cloud bill low
- Put long retention only on the cameras that need it, such as entrances and registers; keep the rest on short plans.
- Choose 720p (Mobile) for overview cameras and 1080p or 4K only where you need detail.
- Pay yearly and save 10%.
- Connect your existing cameras through one Gateway instead of replacing them.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to store business security camera video in the cloud?
Keep the cameras you have and add a per-camera cloud plan. Silarius Cloud starts at $6.99 per camera per month for IP cameras of almost any brand, with NVRs and DVRs connected through the Silarius Gateway. Short retention on most cameras and longer retention only where it matters keeps the bill down.
Is Wyze or Lorex cloud storage cheaper than Silarius Cloud?
Per camera, yes: Wyze Cam Plus is $2.99 and Lorex Connect Cloud+ is $5.99 per month. But both record only their own brand's Wi-Fi cameras, so they cannot record the IP cameras, NVRs or DVRs a business usually has. Silarius Cloud records almost any brand.
How much does Silarius Cloud cost for 30 days of video?
Every retention and quality level is priced on silariussecurity.com/pricing and on our cloud video cost page, per camera per month. Yearly billing saves 10%.
Do I need to buy hardware?
For cameras you already own, one Silarius Gateway connects up to 50 cameras. Silarius X cameras connect straight to the cloud and need no Gateway.
