Chances are that at some point in its life, critical video information will need to be reviewed. There is a greater chance that the video is unusable due to grainy image clarity or older than a month and has been purged due to storage cost constraints. This paper discusses some of the challenges in managing the ever growing clarity, size and retention times of video surveillance data and how consumers and vendors need to change their approaches when evaluating NVR systems to effectively balance cost and risk over time.

The paper also illustrates the opportunities and challenges facing organizations as they embrace new technologies to harden their security and compliance initiatives and introduces an innovative practice called Video Lifecycle Management (VLM). VLM is the practice of reducing the cost of storing video surveillance data as its risk and value decline over time. VLM enables the use of higher image quality images and longer retention times, without “breaking the storage bank”. Using Video Lifecycle Management solutions such as TimeSight™, companies can realize a dramatic increase in image quality /resolution and retention times combined with impressive storage savings.

The Chart below shows how traditional solutions (Steady RED LINE) keep storage costs constant and high, while VLM solutions (Step-Declining BLUE LINE) significantly reduce storage costs over time and actually reclaims up to 90% of your storage footprint.
