Considerations for Eagle Eye Cloud CCTV

Global support focus – primarily remote support, UK-specific guidance may be limited.

Requires hardware for connectivity – to connect cameras to the Eagle Eye Cloud data centres and for certain analytics, e.g. LPR. This dependency on additional hardware increases cost and complexity.

Migration effort – moving existing configurations from other platforms can require technical support
