Introduction
Thinking of installing Cloud CCTV but unsure about how it works, the cost, or the benefits?
This article breaks it all down clearly. Cloud CCTV is becoming increasingly popular in Malaysia due to its ability to record and store footage directly to the cloud – no hard disk required. Users can monitor in real time using just a smartphone. In this guide, we cover the benefits, features, and estimated pricing to help you make a smart choice.

No need for a DVR/NVR to store recordings
Simple process: Camera → Internet → Cloud → User App
