Connexed's back end can support 100,000's of locations and millions of cameras. You can keep adding locations and cameras without having to worry about storage or other equipment.

You view your recordings from Connexed's powerful servers on the Internet backbone. Other solutions make you wait for an overworked DVR to upload big files through a small upstream broadband connection.
