In this guide shows how to set up a
Hikvision DVR or NVR for Google Drive cloud recording. This way, you can upload
footage or snapshot from your Hikvision DVR/NVR to your Google Drive account.
The interesting part of this kind of
setup is that you can have your Hikvision DVR or NVR recording the
videos locally and in the cloud at the same time. This ensures you can have a
backup in case something bad happens to your DVR (such as being stolen or
damaged).
If you want to record on the cloud using
Microsoft OneDrive or DropBox, consult the articles below:

Let’s start by understanding how your
devices must be connected on the network. The diagram below shows the way your
Hikvision DVR/NVR needs to be hooked up. So, the DVR or NVR goes to your router
and the laptop/computer is connected to the same router. All of these equipment
must be on the same local network, otherwise they won’t be able to see each
other.
