In this article we will show how to setup Hikvision DVR (NVR, IP camera) for Microsoft One Drive recording. You can upload from your Hikvision DVR or IP camera not just footage, but photo snapshots as well. You can have your Hikvision recording the videos locally and in the cloud at the same time. This ensures you can have a backup just in case something bad happens to your recorder (such as stolen or damaged).
If you want to record on the cloud using Google Drive or DropBox, consult the articles below:
