From IT systems, applications, telephony and more, the cloud is changing the way we do business. And in recent years it has started to make its way into business surveillance.
What is Cloud CCTV/Video Surveillance?
With Cloud CCTV, your video surveillance footage is managed, analysed, and stored in the cloud. In comparison, a traditional CCTV set up would store your footage on a hard drive or on a local server.
With footage being managed and stored in the cloud, you’ll be able to access it anytime, any place. This is done through a mobile app or web browser.
Additionally, the footage stored is all encrypted, meaning it can only be accessed with a secure login to the platform.
What are the Benefits of Cloud CCTV?
It Keeps Costs Down
Cloud CCTV is a cost-effective choice in comparison to a traditional on-premise system. The only up-front cost is the cameras and installation. There is no need to purchase expensive hardware to maintain operations.
Once the cameras are installed, you pay a low monthly fee for the service. The fee varies for different providers; usually this is based on the number of cameras and the footage retention; and covers storage, maintenance, and support.
For some cloud CCTV setups, you may need to purchase new cameras. However, through our partnership with Videoloft you can purchase and plug-in their cloud adapter to your existing surveillance setup – giving you cloud CCTV access without the need to install new cameras.
24/7 Access – Wherever You Are
Using a web browser or mobile app, you can access your cameras and footage when you need to. Whether you’re at a coffee shop or tanning abroad, if you have an internet connection you can access the live stream and recorded footage.
Live Motion Alerts
With your cameras accessible anytime, anywhere, real-time motion detection alerts mean you’ll be able to respond to any movement immediately, rather than waiting to discover an incident later.
Real-time Control
Through the mobile or desktop app, you can control the movement of your cameras. You’ll be able to pan, tilt, zoom, and even communicate through your cameras.
It’s Secure
The footage is encrypted and stored in a secure, offsite cloud storage. Without the need for on-premise monitoring, hardware cannot be stolen or damaged.
