Do you have any requirements? Because I guess if I was looking for quite a bit of storage I'd consider OneDrive's 365 personal plan. You also get Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook thrown in as a bonus.

I have no need for office 365, right now the files are taking up 11GB's of space, I guess that I would need something in the range of 100GB+ just to be on the safe side.

I'm not 100%  sures, but I'm sure you can use Backblaze, or AWS.

Looks like Backblaze will be the best $60 a year for unlimited storage.

I presume these cameras are recording to your PC, then you are telling them to save in a Mega folder, which is syncing as they record? Or do the cameras have an option to record directly to certain cloud services?

 

You could get a cheap server Kimsufi server from OVH and upload backups of your recording by SFTP / FTP, or maybe install ownCloud. Granted these servers are not powerful, but the storage makes them ideal for what your asking. You can get 1-2TB of storage for not a lot of money and configure the server how you want.

 

I use Backblaze B2 to backup my documents and such, approx. 1TB of data is costing me around $5 per month.

Almost, they save to the PC, and I have a sync program that automatically copies them to Mega every day at 0:00.

I will look into Kimsufi, thanks for the recommendation.So it looks like Kimsufi only has servers in Canada and they start at $17.99

These are the video's from your poe cameras?  So outside video - of say the mailman delivering your mail every day?

 

Do these really require external backup?  I get it if say home movies of your kids 1st birthday or something.

 

If you want a backup of them - wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy another disk and do local backup?  I mean if your house burns down, do you really care if you had a copy of the video of the mailman delivering your mail on  Feb 3rd 2020?

 

I get you might want  video of say someone breaking into your house external - in case they stole your NVR or your computers where the video of them broken in was stored.  But that would require real time upload to the external location.  Not a backup every night at midnight.

So you do make a good point @BudMan, I have an external drive that I could repurpose for this, and it is waterproof and fireproof, so it would make an ideal drive for that purpose.

      But you still need RAM and a GPU. If you haven`t any spare that`s going to cost quite a bit...

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.
