“We didn’t have to worry about configuring accounts or learning a new system from scratch as it was all ready to go from day one.”

Fully Managed. Seamlessly Deployed. Always Supported.

Getting your Cloud video security up and running should be simple. Which is why with SEiNG, we don’t just hand over the software and wish you luck. As a fully managed VSaaS (Video Surveillance as a Service), our team is with you every step of the way - from getting you set up and trained to keeping your CCTV system healthy. This proactive support means your system is up and running faster, without relying on your internal IT resources.

And because every business is different, SEiNG is built for flexibility, offering multiple deployment options to fit your infrastructure. 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.

Frequently asked questions about deploying Cloud CCTV for businesses

Many cloud CCTV platforms can integrate with your existing IP cameras, allowing you to store footage securely in the cloud and add AI-powered analytics such as motion detection, object recognition, and behaviour alerts, all without replacing your current hardware. This makes it easy to upgrade your surveillance system with advanced features while keeping your existing setup.

SEiNG is completely hardware agnostic, so it is specifically designed to work with your existing cameras or your choice of brand if you need new ones. This gives you flexibility and control over your setup.

Other Cloud CCTV platforms can work with 3rd party cameras; however, some - like Verkada, Rhombus, and Avigilon Alta - limit features of their platform to only their proprietary hardware. So when choosing your solution, be sure to ask if it is truly hardware agnostic like SEiNG, with all features working seamlessly with any CCTV camera. Or, if a specific brand is necessary to unlock all features.

No. Cloud CCTV systems are designed for easy deployment, with guided setup, plug-and-play cameras, and optional gateway devices for more complex setups.

SEiNG is a managed Cloud CCTV service, which means we handle the set-up, training, and ongoing system health monitoring, troubleshooting, and support. This means that if your team isn't technical, or is simply too stretched to deal with CCTV management, SEiNG is ideal.

Cloud CCTV deployment can be as simple as connecting cameras to the cloud or installing a gateway. Many businesses are up and running within hours or days, depending on camera count.

For SEiNG, deployment is quick as it's a true-Cloud solution, so there's no need for installation of any complicated hardware. As such, you can expect to have it up and running within 1 business day (usually faster!)

Not usually. Most Cloud CCTV providers can connect non Cloud-enabled cameras to the Cloud via a small gateway device.

It is worth checking this with any Cloud CCTV provider that you consider, as some systems rely on proprietary cameras for certain analysis features. However, there are systems like SEiNG that are designed to be fully compatible with any legacy ONVIF or RTSP camera.

A stable internet connection is important for Cloud CCTV; however, if you don't have stable internet, your Cloud provider should be able to work with you to find a solution. For example, by updating your infrastructure, using motion-triggered uploads, or buffering via the gateway to reduce bandwidth.

If you choose the Cloud Gateway option, the device can buffer video locally during internet outages so you don’t lose footage. For direct camera-to-cloud setups, you may have more reliance on the live connection, so it’s wise to ensure resilience in your network.

SEiNG is a true Cloud CCTV solution, meaning no on-site server is necessary. However, if your business requires you to keep your on-site servers, or if you have bandwidth limitations, SEiNG can support a hybrid Cloud CCTV setup with your existing on-prem setup. This ultimately gives you the tools of Cloud CCTV - remote access to your footage, AI search & analytics, and security features like SSO and 2FA - alongside local storage.

A typical drawback of a hybrid Cloud CCTV setup is that you then have to manage both on-site infrastructure and the Cloud platform. However, as it's a managed Cloud CCTV service, SEiNG can help relieve this burden by taking on all of the setup, maintenance, troubleshooting, and upgrades of your Cloud components.

Book your demo with SEiNG so we can chat through your requirements and show you the features in more detail. We'll then let you have a free 30-day trial, that can run alongside your existing CCTV system, so you can try it for yourself. If you're happy (which we're sure you will be), we can then roll SEiNG out across your sites.
