How SEiNG Cloud CCTV Empowers HR Teams: A Modern Approach to Workplace Management

written on 16 September 2025 by Megan Armstrong

Why should HR Managers care about Cloud CCTV? This article explores how modern video surveillance systems can support People teams.

Managing a modern workforce isn’t just about recruitment and paperwork anymore. HR Managers are increasingly responsible for workplace safety, compliance, and employee wellbeing.

At the same time, you need to support hybrid and remote working models, to keep your business attractive to new and existing employees.

It’s a lot to keep on top of. So you need modern systems around you that help you keep track and stay data-driven with real-time insights.

You might think CCTV is one for your security team. Maybe even your IT team. But Cloud CCTV like SEiNG can help you too. Here’s how.

Make smarter HR decisions with workplace analytics

For HR teams, understanding how employees use the workplace is key to making informed decisions. Your CCTV system captures a wealth of information that used correctly, could inform your decision making.

Turning workplace data into actionable insight

SEiNG Cloud CCTV doesn’t just capture video, it provides analytics and insights that help you see occupancy patterns, traffic flow, and how spaces are actually being used. This is especially valuable in hybrid work environments, where flexible space allocation can make a big difference to efficiency and employee experience.

By analysing these patterns, you can identify trends in movement and behaviour, informing decisions around workplace design, scheduling, and team collaboration.

The result? HR decisions are based on real, actionable data, helping you create a workplace that’s not only safer and more efficient but also better aligned with employee needs and satisfaction.

Boost productivity without increasing headcount with AI

SEiNG Cloud CCTV has AI analytics so you can boost productivity

For HR teams, one of the biggest challenges is keeping employees engaged, motivated, and satisfied in their roles. Repetitive or low-value tasks can quickly lead to frustration and burnout, which impacts retention, morale, and overall productivity. Finding ways to free your people from monotonous work while maintaining operational efficiency is a key part of creating a thriving workforce.

Find the right security footage in minutes – not hours.

When it comes to your security, manually finding footage for investigations can be time consuming and is open to human error. It can require hours of scrubbing through video, which isn’t an efficient use of time. SEiNG has ai-backed filters to simplify this process. Narrow down the date and time you need to investigate, use filters to automatically detect objects like bikes, bags, cars, and even animals. All this makes it easy to find what you need in minutes. Not to mention real-time alerts, which means your security team knows right away if they need to investigate. This reduces the need for staff to spend long hours monitoring or reviewing footage. Instead, employees are free to focus on higher value work, which can reduce the need for extra hires, allow HR managers to allocate resources more strategically, and help teams achieve more with the same headcount.

How SEiNG Makes Remote and Hybrid Working Possible

Perhaps your employees have requested flexibility in home working. Or maybe they haven’t even asked, as they know they’re required on-site. After all, if your business is using traditional CCTV with bulky servers, footage can’t be accessed remotely.

Accessible Cloud CCTV storage for remote viewing

Being a true-Cloud video management system (VMS), SEiNG allows for secure, remote access to your CCTV system from any modern web browser. That’s because footage is stored in the Cloud, rather than in an NVR or DVR. That ensures it’s always easily available to pre-approved users.

As a consequence, roles that previously required a physical presence can now be offered as hybrid or fully remote positions. This will enhance employee satisfaction, support better work-life balance, and ultimately boost retention and talent acquisition.

Access your video surveillance footage across your entire estate from any device

Simplified access control and compliance

If you’re a HR Manager at a small business, you might be involved in managing access permissions to your video surveillance footage.

We’ve dealt with some businesses where access control doesn’t exist. Instead, every employee can tap into the CCTV. This can cause compliance headaches, especially around GDPR and data protection. Not to mention that when employees leave the business, you have to remember to delete their CCTV login, which is a task easily missed.

Granular access controls and single sign on

SEiNG keeps your CCTV footage secure and GDPR compliant. Every SEiNG user has their own login (no password sharing). You can assign roles - such as admin or view-only - and set which sites a user can view or what permissions they should have. This granularity ensures footage is accessible to only those who need it. SEiNG supports two secure authentication methods:

Inbuilt authentication with MFA
Integration with external corporate authentication services (SSO)

As such, there’s no more juggling logins. Permissions can be updated or revoked instantly, reducing risk of human error or security gaps.

Transform your HR operations with smart CCTV

SEiNG VSaaS isn’t just a security tool – it’s a platform that can empower your whole HR team to enhance employee engagement, support hybrid work, and make smarter decisions. From freeing employees from repetitive monitoring tasks to enabling flexible working, SEiNG will help you create a more productive workplace.
