Rapid Cloud CCTV deployment and seamless connectivity
Save time and hassle setting up your CCTV – with SEiNG, it’s simple.
Flexible deployment options to suit every setup
Getting your Cloud video security up and running should be simple. With SEiNG, you have a few different options to deploy your system depending on what equipment you already have and how you want to manage it. From plugging straight into your existing cameras to using a smart gateway or going full cloud with the latest cameras, we make sure the setup works for you.
Direct IP Camera
SEiNG connects directly with your existing ONVIF / RTSP IP cameras over the local network or internet. Cameras stream video directly to SEiNG, no additional hardware needed. Your video is processed and stored in the Cloud. This direct connection is delivered securely via VPN (Virtual Private Network) or NAT (Network Address Translation), ensuring safe and reliable access to your video streams.
Best suited for
Users who have existing IP cameras and a stable internet connection and prefer a fully cloud-based solution without additional on-site hardware beyond the cameras themselves.
Cloud Gateway
An on-site device that bridges your existing or new ONVIF/RTSP cameras to SEiNG. It securely uploads video and metadata to the cloud, with buffer storage available to handle internet outages. Motion-only uploads are an option to reduce bandwidth use, and all data is encrypted in transit. The gateway also manages local access controls for enhanced security.
Best suited for
Users who want to leverage their existing camera infrastructure but also desire local buffering for reliability, bandwidth optimisation, and more controlled, secure data transmission to the cloud.
Cloud Camera
Cloud-ready cameras that connect directly to SEiNG, with no local video management hardware required. They securely send encrypted, motion-triggered video over Ethernet and include built-in security and authentication. Each camera operates independently for greater resilience, and motion-only uploads reduce bandwidth use.
Best suited for
New installations or users looking for the most streamlined and fully integrated cloud CCTV experience, with cameras specifically designed for cloud connectivity.
