My setup is a simple hobby grade system: A bunch of Hikvision cameras and Blue Iris.

(I'm aware of Hikvision security risks, and I'm aware of "cloud" risks, that's not what this thread is about)

There are a ton of FTP Cloud services out there in which to store my footage. Some say "one camera for 7 days" or some such thing. What I am really looking for is more like 1 TB of space that I can do what I want, with as many camera as I want etc.

I suppose there's AWS, or something similar, but I figure somewhere there must be a service that will give you a TB to play with for like a few $$ per month that it easy to use.

Anyone know of a good "cloud" FTP service for this use?

I assume the priority is to get the backup offline and off premises?

In lieu of recording directly to Cloud/Internet/Offline have you considered recording locally then backing up a copy to the same (cloud/Internet/Offline).
Then you could use any Cloud Backup service and perhaps mitigate the cost along with specifying your storage requirements?

Is your upload speed through your ISP fast enough to support cloud storage from multiple cameras? My DL speed is 150mbps, but upload is only 15mbps. 15mbps will support one of my cameras.

Which is a good reason NOT to directly record to the Cloud.

Good point. I have an i-drive account that I use for backup, and I can just piggy back on to it. Good suggestion. Thanks.
