How It Works
A clear path from camera readiness to cloud video.
ANY AI CAM helps confirm compatibility and camera access, select the correct Videoloft connection option, and guide the system through cloud activation.
ALREADY HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS?
Understand your system before you buy anything.
ANY AI CAM starts with what you already own. We help identify whether your system uses IP cameras, an NVR, an analog DVR, or a mixed setup—and explain the most practical path forward.
Our goal is to keep as much of your existing equipment as possible. If your cameras can work with cloud video, we will tell you. If something must be replaced, we will explain why.
What we help you determine
- Whether your cameras are IP/network or analog/coax
- Whether your current NVR or recorder can remain in place
- Whether your equipment is likely compatible with Videoloft
- Which devices can stay and which may need an upgrade
- Whether you need a local installer for cabling or physical work
No automatic network scan. No password bypass. Any remote review is performed only with your permission and authorized access.
Customer Steps
Cloud activation, step by step.
These are the general steps after you request cloud activation. Final setup depends on your selected path, camera system, recorder, and network.
Before purchasing: confirm camera access
Videoloft normally needs the administrator username and password for the camera or recorder during the one-time connection process. If those credentials are unavailable, the original installer, a technician, or a manufacturer-approved recovery process may be needed first.
Choose Your Path
Select the Videoloft Cloud Adapter for hardware-based cloud bridging - ideal for NVR/DVR users or systems without direct cloud support.
Purchase Hardware Separately
Order the Cloud Adapter hardware through ANY AI CAM. This is a one-time purchase and is not automatically linked to your cloud account.
Prepare Cloud Account
ANY AI CAM creates or prepares your dedicated Videoloft cloud account and confirms billing settings for your chosen recording plan (7, 14, or 30-day).
Connect and Register
Plug the Cloud Adapter into your network switch, and our team remotely registers it to your account - no user configuration needed.
System Activated
Your cameras and recorder are now streaming securely to the Videoloft cloud. You'll receive login credentials to view footage from any device.
Camera connection depends on compatibility, existing access, and network conditions. Cloud Adapter hardware is purchased through ANY AI CAM. Cloud recording and subscriptions are handled directly by Videoloft.
Two Ways to Get Started
Try everything free first—or choose a dedicated always-on adapter.
Both options connect compatible cameras to the same cloud service. The difference is what keeps the connection running.
Free Windows Software Bridge
Use a compatible Windows PC to connect your cameras. The software is free, and the cloud trial is free for 30 days.
- $0 hardware purchase to start
- 30-day cloud trial
- Try remote viewing, playback and alerts
- Cancel after the trial with no adapter to keep
- Computer must stay powered on and connected
Dedicated Videoloft Cloud Adapter
Use dedicated hardware that stays connected independently of a laptop or desktop computer.
- Always-on cloud connection
- Does not depend on a customer PC
- Ideal for businesses and permanent installations
- 30-day cloud trial still included
- Adapter hardware is purchased upfront

Can I try the service without buying an adapter?
Yes. The Windows Software Bridge is free, so compatible customers can use it with the 30-day cloud trial without purchasing adapter hardware. The computer must stay powered on for cameras to remain connected.
What is a Cloud ID?
A Cloud ID is the code used by the CCTV Connect app to connect your site or recorder to cloud service.
What camera brands are supported?
Many compatible IP camera and recorder systems are commonly used, including Axis, Dahua, Lorex, LTS, Hikvision, Reolink, TVT, Uniview, Vivotek, Hanwha Vision, Digital Watchdog, ONVIF systems, and setups using a cloud adapter.
What happens after I submit my request?
ANY AI CAM reviews your submitted details and prepares the cloud account setup. If adapter hardware is needed, the adapter order and cloud plan request can move forward together.
How do payments work?
Hardware purchases are paid securely at checkout. Cloud storage is billed after activation, and new cloud customers receive a 30-day free trial before recurring cloud billing begins.
How do I avoid fake activation emails?
Do not send passwords or card details by email. Real website requests include a request ID, and ANY AI CAM will review details before sending next steps.
Security Camera Cloud Storage Questions
Can I keep my existing cameras and still use cloud storage?
Often, yes. Compatible IP cameras and NVR systems can add cloud recording without replacing the entire system. Check your camera compatibility before ordering.
Do I need to replace my NVR or DVR?
Not always. Many systems can connect through a cloud adapter or a supported Windows software bridge.
How much video history can I keep?
Choose from 7-day, 14-day or 30-day retention options on our cloud storage pricing page.
Can I buy a camera without cloud service?
Yes. Visit our camera shop for the current camera offering and optional cloud-service choices.
