Cost Savings

A cloud-based surveillance system requires less equipment than a CCTV system. That, of course, means less cost to you. Instead of storing your data onsite, all the footage is stored at an offsite location. So, you don’t need to purchase recorders and other expensive hardware. Instead, your cloud-based platform can be accessed on an ordinary desktop computer – whether at the office or another location. In addition, it is usually less expensive to install an IP camera than a traditional CCTV camera.

Ease of Use

Do you really want to learn how to operate a new system? Most business owners do not. And training your IT staff or security team can be just as laborious. Fortunately, it’s seamless to access and control your cloud surveillance cameras. Review footage and adjust the cameras on your desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone. Best of all, smart cameras notify you of any security breaches by sending an alert to your phone or email. Also, if the system needs a software update, your cloud-managed cameras do it automatically.

Virtually Tamper-Proof

Occasionally, it happens. An intruder manages to circumvent the access control system and get inside a building. If you have an onsite CCTV system, then you’ve given the thief a way to cover their tracks. By breaking into the security closet and destroying the evidence, they can get off scot-free. However, with a cloud-based system, it’s not that easy. In fact, there isn’t any equipment at your business – besides the cameras. And if the camera feed is lost, an alarm is triggered. The odds of someone getting away with a crime is highly unlikely.

Smart Automation

It’s easy and seamless to integrate smart cameras with your commercial automation system. You’ll enjoy complete remote access to your cameras, as well as other security systems in your building. Using your building automation tablet or smartphone app, you’ll control everything from the access control system and cameras to your smart lighting, AV system, and much more.
