DVR\NVR Internet Data usage Questions

[JRJakkals]

Hello Everybody

Here is my scenario. I have a client with 2-4 CCTV cameras and a DVR\NVR controller. Client will use CCTV app to check for a few minutes what is going on in his shop. I have a few questions on internet usage.

1. Does the DVR\NVR controller send data\stream data continuously over the internet to the CCTV(HikVision\Dahua) cloud server?
2. Or will DVR\NVR controller only send data\stream data when you open the CCTV app?

These questions will give me a answer on what Internet data package the client need to get

Thanks\Kind Regards

Hi,

Normally it will only use minimal data to send notifications etc.

Then, when your client connects, it will stream video to the cloud / to him.

It's hard for us to say how much data it will use (as we here are not normal users).

Hopefully somebody will jump-on and be able to feed back that they are using say a 10GB / month SIM with no issues, or whatever ...

Thank you for contacting Dahua support.
The recorder will only send the video stream if you are live viewing or playing back from the DMSS App, it does
not send out any video stream when not using the App.

So this means I can get a small LTE internet data package like 40-80GB per month.
