Video storage Archive options

Question

Hi Guys,

I am new to Azure and familiar with AWS. On the similar note of backing up security camera footages, in AWS I use AWS Storage gateway to sync the footage from the security camera to AWS and hold it there for 30 days. I can also playback the old footage locally when needed .

what is the equivalent service here in Azure ? would Databox (Virtual gateway) connecting to Blob storage would be a right solution ? I did set one up as described but the data wouldnt sync to the cloud. Pls note the footage still is indexed in the video recorder software and can be played back when necessary. Not like detaching it from the application and manually storing in teh cloud. ITs more of an online backup and worked just fine with AWS Storage gateway.

I found AWS much more simpler to do this. Appreciate any directions here.

Thank you

@Srini Krish I apologize for the delay in responding to this question.

For your use case i.e., Video Storage Archiving, Azure File Sync would be a great solution, providing file-based storage synchronization from on premises Windows file servers to Azure.

You can read more about it here: Introduction to Azure File Sync | Microsoft Learn.
