You can install KIRZ cloud remotely to compatible hardware in less than 2 minutes. The KIRZ CCTV software runs on a small bridging device called a Cloud Adapter. Pairing the hardware with the KIRZ cloud is done via the KIRZ CCTV smartphone app (available on Apple and Android). Once the setup is complete, you can view your camera live stream and recorded video events through the KIRZ CCTV app and website. Recorded video events are saved in the KIRZ cloud for the duration of your cloud recording plan.
Yes, KIRZ can provide excellent offsite cloud backup to video stored locally on a DVR/NVR. Access our installation guides, and review the specifications.
Yes, using KIRZ cloud can remove the need for local recording completely. With compatible IP cameras and a KIRZ Cloud Adapter you can send video straight to the cloud.
To add KIRZ to your compatible security system you'll first need a KIRZ account. You can create one here and order the required number of KIRZ Cloud Adapters. Once the Cloud Adapters have arrived, you can connect them to your security system in just a few minutes via the KIRZ smartphone app (available on Apple and Android).
Cloud Adapter 8 and Cloud Adapter 16 supports up to 8 or 16 cameras or recorder channels, respectively. If you are installing more than 16 cameras, you can use our Cloud Adapter 64 rack-mounted solution or simply stack as many 8-channel or 16-channel Cloud Adapters as necessary for the installation. The Cloud Adapter needs to be on the same local network as the security system, so if your cameras are situated across multiple locations you'll need Cloud Adapter(s) at each location.
Amazon Web Services hosts the KIRZ cloud. AWS also hosts thousands of other major brands across the world. KIRZ uses two AWS data centers, one in Ireland and one in North Virginia, USA. Video will be stored in the nearest data center to your location.
We offer a variety of cloud recording plans, for example from 7 days cloud storage to 1-year cloud storage. If you require longer than 1-year storage this is also possible. To discuss this contact us.
If your security system is compatible with KIRZ you can order a KIRZ Cloud Adapter and create an account directly from the KIRZ website here.

Not as much as you might expect! But for an exact answer it depends on which setting mode you are using. If your video quality is set to SD or 2MP/1080p, allow up to 400kbps per camera or recorder channel. If your video quality is set 4MP, allow up to 1200kbps per camera or recorder channel. Finally, if your video quality is set to Up to 8MP/4K, allow up to 1800kbps per camera or recorder channel. Our software is constantly measuring the available bandwidth on the network and will store video on the Cloud Adapter in poor network conditions or during network redundancy. The video files will then be sent to the cloud once the network conditions improve or the network is restored. There is a network speed test in the KIRZ app under Tools, this will test the local network and tell you how many cameras can be supported. If you need any further guidance on data requirements please contact us.
Yes, lots of our customers use 4G/5G networks to power their KIRZ installations. The low bandwidth nature of our software makes it well suited to these installations.
Loss of network doesn’t mean loss of footage, even cloud has a back up! All KIRZ Cloud Adapter come with 32GB built-in storage and acts as a back up in case of a network outage or bad connection. If the internet goes down, it’ll store the video footage from the cameras on the edge and automatically send it to the cloud when the internet connection has been restored.
