Cloud-Based CCTV Solutions

A fusion of modern technology and traditional surveillance, capturing, storing, and sharing high-quality video footage seamlessly over the cloud.

Why should you consider a Cloud based CCTV solution?

Four key attributes are driving the rapidly growing popularity of cloud video surveillance:

SECURITY

Cloud-based computing sets a gold standard for security, surpassing what physical on-site systems can offer. Security in cloud computing addresses three primary areas:

SYSTEM SECURITY

Safeguarding the system from cyber-attacks with continuous system security updates managed via the cloud.

PERMISSION

Using multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role based permission, only authorised users can access their designated video and data.

PRIVACY

By monitoring, restricting, and auditing who does what with the data stored, organisations can work effectively to prevent private data from being shared with unauthorised personnel or third parties.

Analytics

As the shift from video being utilised for it's straight forward visual content, the ability to discern the data from the footage is becoming a stronger use case for many businesses. This data can be used for multiple reasons from actionable intelligence to enhanced space usage understanding.

Unusual behaviour

The rising volume of video content requiring real-time or post-event examination poses a growing challenge for security teams. Studies have shown that human capacity to detect changes diminishes rapidly after just a few minutes of reviewing CCTV footage. Unusual Behaviour (UB) seeks to counter this by learning the typical activities observed by specific cameras and promptly alerting operators to significant deviations from the norm.

AVAILABILITY

Cloud storage guarantees constant accessibility to authorised users. When on-site PCs, servers, or recorders suffer damage, theft, or malfunction, the result can be permanent data loss. In contrast, cloud-stored data remains protected and accessible.

-T-C-O-

The long-term total cost of ownership (TCO) for a cloud-based VMS, compared to an on-prem system, can be 5% - 35% less depending on the size and complexity of a system. Moving

computing and video storage infrastructure into the cloud results in significant economies of scale.

SCALABILITY

Business needs are ever-evolving. Cloud storage adapts instantly to changing storage requirements. In contrast, when on-site hardware storage reaches its limit, it necessitates costly new hardware to accommodate growth.

True Cloud vs Hybrid Cloud

A true cloud system’s architecture makes maximum use of modern cloud computing technology, through a “pay only for what you use” subscription model. A hybrid approach utilises elements of this while keeping some data stored locally on site either inside the cameras or within a dedicated storage server.

Why Now?

Organisations face numerous challenges with regards to the video surveillance solutions and their 'worst case scenarios' are becoming more common.

Unaware cameras failed or not recording until too late
Lack of personnel resources. Must travel to site to manually review, retrieve and share incident footage.
Theft or destruction of on-premise recording equipment is common and destroys vital video evidence.
Searching for specific incidents, people or objects is time consuming and resource intensive.
Concerns regarding cyber security vulnerabilities of existing equipment.

What is the Future of VSaaS?

As technology continues to advance, so will the capabilities of Video Surveillance as a Service Solutions (VSaaS). The future of VSaaS is promising, with developments such as Artificial Intelligence-driven analytics, integration with Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and enhanced cyber-security measures. The adoption of cloud-based solutions is also on the rise, allowing for seamless data storage and remote access. The future holds a myriad of possibilities for VSaaS, making it a wise investment for those looking to stay ahead in the security landscape.

Adapting to these advancements isn't just about embracing change; it's about harnessing the power of innovation for more resilient and adaptable security measures. As the boundaries of what's possible expand, so does the assurance that VSaaS offers to its users in an interconnected, digital world.

CCTV vs VSaaS

Both are vital tools in the realm of security, but they serve different needs. CCTV, or Closed-Circuit Television, is a more traditional form of surveillance that involves a straightforward setup of cameras connected to a centralised control room. VSaaS (Video Surveillance as a Service), on the other hand, takes surveillance a step further by offering a network-based platform that allows for greater scalability, flexibility, and integration with other systems.

With VSaaS, you also get advanced features like video analytics, cloud storage, and remote access, elevating your security to the next level.

What is a VSaaS System?

Video Surveillance as a Service Solutions (VSaaS) are advanced systems designed to capture, record, and manage video footage. Unlike traditional CCTV systems, VSaaS integrates seamlessly with your existing IT infrastructure and offers the ability to scale up as your needs evolve. With a VSaaS system, you can enjoy features like remote monitoring, motion detection, and smart analytics, which are essential for comprehensive security management.

What are the Benefits of CCTV?

CCTV systems offer a tried-and-true method for security surveillance. These systems are cost-effective, easy to install, and provide a reliable way to monitor your premises 24/7. In addition, the mere presence of CCTV cameras can act as a deterrent to potential criminals. For businesses with straightforward surveillance needs or smaller premises, CCTV offers a practical solution that meets basic security demands.
