Photographs are a great way to collect memories and look back at them whenever you wish. In today’s world, polaroids or other forms of developed photos have been replaced by digital images that are stored in different mediums such as smartphones, cameras, SD card, and computers.
While it is easier to access your photographs any time on such mediums, there is always a risk of data loss. Imagine collecting all your precious wedding or birthday photographs in an SD card and then losing it somewhere. Sounds terrible, no? This is why backing up photos on time is quite essential. Today, there are several tools, which can help you in performing this task automatically so that you do not need to worry about taking out time from your busy schedule for simply backing your data.
One such outstanding tool is Monument. It is an innovative product that can effortlessly sync and backup your files from all devices (computer, SD card, and phone) to your own hard drive. All it needs is a stable Internet connection. Not just that, but Monument can perform a lot of other tasks as well:
1) Automatic Organization
By employing Artificial Intelligence (scene and facial recognition algorithms), Monument has this unique capability to automatically sort your photographs by date, location, person, camera type, and also scene. It also allows you to search photos and add/ edit tags.
2) World Map
This feature is quite distinct from other photo organizing applications. With Monument, you can navigate through a world map and explore all your pictures related to a specific city. Simply zoom into different countries, view the cities you visited and easily view the images that you captured over there. Sounds interesting, no?
3) Scene Detection
Monument’s databases contain information regarding hundreds of popular sites (for example airports, seasides, monuments, ski places etc). So Monument can automatically tag your photos against an entry from its database of the detected sites.
4) Cameras
Again, this feature is quite unique. If you have stored images that were captured by different mediums, Monument will sort them too. For instance, you took some photos with your iPhone X, some with CANON EOS 7D, while others with a Samsung Galaxy tab and then placed all of them together. Now Monument will make separate folders for all these devices and sort your images accordingly. Whether it is a DSLR, drone, action camera or a smartphone – Monument will happily work with it without causing any issue.
5) Free Space from Your Device
Monument has another feature that allows users to free up some space on their devices. Once you have backed up your media files, you can automatically remove them from your original device and recover some extra space. Later on, you can easily access all those files from a single Monument app (for example on your phone).
6) SD Card to Monument
All you have to do is insert your SD card into the Monument device and it will handle the rest. The best part is that while copying files, Monument also automatically eliminates any duplicates.
Now let’s take a look at some secondary, yet highly unique Monument features.
1) Multiple Accounts
Monument allows users to create up to 5 accounts. This lets people organize their photos and then share them with each other easily. People can also create albums together.
2) TV Out/Slideshow
Using an HDMI cable, Chrome Cast or Apple TV, you can connect to a TV and then display a slideshow of all your images and videos.
3) Remote Access
No matter what part of the world you are in and what kind of device you are using, Monument works at all times, in all cases. Now you can even back up and organize your photos while you are traveling. What else would you wish for?
4) Disk Mirroring
Monument can also create multiple back-ups. All you have to do is create an additional hard drive and leave the rest to Monument.
5) Smart Search
Searching on the basis of features such as date, location, scene, person, album names, tags, and camera type is also possible.
6) No Monthly Fee
You need to pay only once. There are no monthly fees or hidden charges. You can connect any hard drive and there will be no size limit or extra charges.
7) Complete Privacy
No third parties are involved and your media files are only backed up on your hard drive.
8) Original Quality
Your media files are backed up as they are. You do not need to worry about losing quality while copying files. Monument assures 100% original content. Whether it is a 4K video or a 50-megapixel photograph, everything will remain the same and no pixels would be lost.
9) Flexible Storage
You are allowed to increase the storage limit anytime you want, till whatever size you want to go. And all of this comes at simply No extra charges.
10) Centralized Content
You can access your media files from all your connected devices and not just the one your content was initially saved on.
11) World Wide Free Shipping
Another great feature about Monument is that it offers a world-wide free shipping service. Not just this, but all their products come with a 30 days customer satisfaction guarantee, along with a 1-year limited warranty.
Overall, Monument is an amazing tool to handle all your photo backing up and organizing worries.
