If someone walks off with the recorder, the footage goes with it. Guardian copies it off-site using the FTP upload your DVR already has — no new box, nothing to install.
Register interestNearly every DVR and NVR made in the last decade can already upload clips to an FTP server when it detects motion — Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink and most of the rest. Guardian gives you somewhere to send them.
Step-by-step guides: Hikvision · Dahua · Reolink · how Guardian works · troubleshooting.
You fill in four fields on a settings page your recorder already has. Competitors ship a bridge box for £85–£465; there is nothing to ship, install or replace.
One storage pool per account, not per camera — because a camera on motion upload costs pennies to store. Add sites and cameras without adding cost.
A timeline per camera per day, so finding the clip that matters doesn’t mean sitting in front of the recorder.
We want to be precise about this, because it is easy to overclaim.
One pool per account, unlimited sites and cameras, with storage as the thing you actually choose. Not final.
| Plan | Storage | Roughly | Per month |

Longer retention simply means more stored, so it prices itself — no separate retention tiers to decode.
