You can utilize Azure to securely retain backups of your security camera footage by employing Azure Storage services such as Azure Blob Storage or Azure Files. These options encompass all the prerequisites you specified through a GPv2 storage account. Depending on your backup approach, Azure Files might offer a more straightforward experience.

Azure Files accommodates files up to 4 TiB.

Thank you for the feedback, Now kindly take me through the process of doing the backup on the side of the cctv unv recorder. I know how to create the blob storage and the azure files, what am struggling to understand is how to set up the other end and link it to azure storage. Thank you

Look into mounting the drive locally:

Mount SMB Azure file share on Windows

Then set your CCTV UNV directory (where it is stored) to go to that drive by default. Or you could just move the data periodically.

Thank you, I have clearly gotten the other setup end of azure. My concern is how to set up the other end to link it with the azure file storage. The camera is a unv type recorder and I dont know how to set it up to link it with azure please

Can you please confirm the storage location of the CCTV recorded files? If they are stored on a Windows machine, you can make use of the following solution: Mounting an SMB Azure file share on Windows.
