SS dual recording on site and off site concurrently
Hello
As the title states is there a way to have each camera record on site via ssd plugged into mac studio and also have it save off site to a NAS device or cloud concurrently
If each cameras are recording live constantly 24/7 creating different files hourly and the files are being recorded to local drive attached to mac studio and off site via nas/cloud. If something happens catastrophic to house fire, weather what ever and it destroys everything locally and you need to retrieve files remotely.
Does the said files that are currently recording midway into or before the hour finishes become corrupt?!? Are you able to play back the file to its full extent up to where the recording terminated abruptly?!?

Our blog post Offsite Backup of Recorded Camera Footage should help outline the available options for you.
Upload can only happen when files are complete, so for the scheme outlined whereby you are recording continuous files in hourly chunks, the most you can lose if something catastrophic happens is 1 hour of footage plus the time it takes to upload each chunk (which should be reasonably short over an Internet connection that has a fast upload speed).
You are talking about a very low-probability event here, so hopefully an hour margin here is acceptable. You could mitigate this by situating the Mac and recording drive in as safe a place as possible, and/or switching to shorter-duration chunks for your continuous-capture files.

Is there a way to encrypt the data in transit if using s3 via the security spy app or id have to use an app like ARQ to monitor folders?!?
As one that uses synology and backs up to B2 via hyper-storage i have a self made key and every thing is encrypted
How can i implement this? I dont want any cloud providers snooping around
Im testing backup to icloud drive via chronosync app and its scheduled to upload on file change on my ssd storage
so far so good it even uploads while its recording constantly hourly
and yes im using ADP on icloud

@Skata85 You can mount an S3 bucket like a shared volume using rclone. Data to/from the bucket will be SSL encrypted. You can also transfer directly from one computer (ie, remote to home computer) using SMB or NFS, with both machines on a tailscale network. Totally encrypted, no data to any 3rd party cloud.

When SecuritySpy uploads via S3, the upload is automatically encrypted in transit.
However, whether the data is then stored in an encrypted format on the server is not under SecuritySpy's control - this will depend on the hosting company. I believe AWS does store your files encrypted by default, though this would be something to double-check if it's important to you.
