How many cameras would you need to upload to the cloud, and at what resolution, and how long do you need their retention period to be? Many of the CCTV manufacturers have a free limited plan, for a few cameras and a 7 day retention period. Your requirements here would determine if the free service would work. What make are your cameras? Are they IP cameras? How many feeds do you need running simultaneously? Do you need permanent live feeds, or only motion detection uploads? How long do you wish your videos to be stored for?
Is the cloud based storage for the camera feeds only, or do you wish to keep other data as well? How much storage would you require?
Having a backup connectivity solution that allows you to switch inputs (fibre to lte as an example) will depend on your router. You may require an additional firewall or load balancer to be able to do that. Are the cameras wired or wireless?
Is this a business or home solution you require?
