Save to iCloud?
« on: February 17, 2017, 03:30:24 PM »
Are there plans to allow the saving of photos/video to iCloud?    The SD card save option is great until the perpetrator takes the camera (and the SD card with the video/photo that shows him/her taking it).

Not that I know of. I presume that maybe D-Link doesn't want to handle any user data in the Cloud for security reasons and storage reasons. D-Link offers products that you can save camera data to NAS, DVR and or PC using D-View cam software. All of these offer more security and handling of data.

Hello bksnbriefs,

Apple did not incorporate iCloud recording in any of their HomeKit cameras due to security and overhead (at this time). Hopefully in the future but it will not be anytime soon. Also recording to a NAS or NVR is not supported at this time either.

Other HomeKit cameras now offer cloud storage. One works with Dropbox and even supports FTP! Why doesn't D-Link provide this now?

Because this camera is older and doesn't support cloud recording.

While it is not currently possible to directly save photos or videos from a camera to iCloud, there are a few possible workarounds:

Import photos and videos to an iPhone or iPad: If your camera has a USB port or SD card slot, you can use an adapter to connect it to your iPhone or iPad and import the photos and videos to the device. From there, you can choose to upload the files to iCloud.

Use a Wi-Fi-enabled camera: Some cameras come with built-in Wi-Fi capabilities how to put peloton shoes on pedals, which allows you to transfer photos and videos wirelessly to your computer or mobile device. From there, you can choose to upload the files to iCloud.

Use a third-party cloud storage service: There are many other cloud storage services available, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive, that allow you to store and access your files from multiple devices.

It is also worth noting that some cameras come with built-in storage, which may provide an additional layer of security against theft. However, it is always a good idea to take precautions and protect your camera and any storage devices to prevent theft or loss of your files.
