Camcloud review
A straightforward cloud camera platform with flexible retention and multi-site tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Camcloud is a cloud video surveillance service for homeowners, small businesses, and organizations managing cameras across multiple locations. It connects supported IP cameras to hosted storage for live viewing, motion-triggered recording, playback, and remote footage review. Users can manage cameras and users across sites, receive camera health alerts, and control pan, tilt, and zoom where supported. Access is available through web, iOS, Android, and an API, making it suitable for teams that want centralized monitoring without maintaining local video storage.
The free plan covers one camera, four hours of cloud storage, 30 minutes of live viewing per month, and motion alerts. Paid retention starts with the 7-day storage plan at $6 per camera per month and includes unlimited live viewing. The 14-day plan costs $10 per camera per month, while 30-day storage costs $15 per camera per month; both also include unlimited live viewing. Business solutions add continuous recording and additional camera and storage options, with arrangements handled through sales. This structure lets smaller deployments start free and expand retention as footage-history needs grow.
Camcloud’s feature depth centers on finding and reviewing events: its footage timeline and Event Explorer support searching and filtering video activity, while motion detection can trigger recordings and alerts. Optional AI detection identifies people, vehicles, and other objects, and optional edge recording integrates SD cards and NAS devices. The free tier is better suited to short-lookback monitoring than investigations requiring longer history, and teams needing continuous recording or broader capacity should evaluate the business offering. Choose Camcloud for simple cloud retention across a few sites; consider alternatives if you need fully transparent business pricing or longer history at the entry level.
