In an era where security is paramount, CCTV cameras have become the silent guardians of our homes, businesses, and public spaces across Bangladesh. However, a security camera is only as effective as the storage system behind it. If your recorder is stolen, damaged during a fire, or suffers a hard drive failure, your evidence is gone forever.
This is where Cloud FTP Storage comes in. But for users in Bangladesh, not just any cloud will do. To get the best performance, you need storage routed through the BDIX (Bangladesh Directory Service and Internet Exchange).
Here is why storing your CCTV footage in BDIX-connected FTP storage—specifically through Alpha Net is the smartest move for your security infrastructure.
Standard international cloud storage (like Google Drive or Dropbox) routes your data through submarine cables to servers in the US or Europe. This causes "latency" or lag. BDIX storage keeps the data traffic within Bangladesh. Because Alpha Net is connected to the BDIX exchange, uploading high-definition (HD) video footage happens at local network speeds (often up to 100Mbps or more), regardless of your external internet speed.
A common tactic for burglars in Bangladesh is to steal the DVR/NVR (the recording box) along with the valuables. If your footage is only stored locally, you lose the evidence of the crime. By using Alpha Net’s FTP Storage, your camera automatically sends a copy of the footage to a remote, secure data center. Even if your physical hardware is destroyed or stolen, your footage remains safe in the cloud.
Buying high-capacity surveillance hard drives (like WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk) is expensive. Moreover, hard drives have a lifespan and eventually fail. With Alpha Net’s FTP Storage Server, you don’t need to worry about hardware maintenance. You can choose a plan that fits your needs and scale up your storage capacity as your camera count increases, making it a much more budget-friendly option for SMEs and homeowners.
When you need to review footage urgently, waiting for a file to download from an overseas server can be frustrating. Because Alpha Net leverages the BDIX network, downloading or viewing your archived footage is near-instantaneous. It feels like the files are stored on your own computer.
Alpha Net’s FTP storage is designed to be compatible with almost all modern IP cameras and NVRs (such as Hikvision, Dahua, and Uniview) that support FTP/SFTP protocols. Setting it up is as simple as entering your FTP credentials into your camera settings.
When it comes to BDIX-connected services, Alpha Net is the pioneer in Bangladesh. With over 23 years of experience, they provide a level of reliability that is unmatched in the local market.
Don't wait for a security breach to realize your storage system is inadequate. Upgrading to a BDIX-connected FTP storage solution ensures that your surveillance is redundant, fast, and secure.
