SEiNG video wall: real use cases driving connection, insight and efficiency

written on 8 July 2026 by Megan Armstrong

TL;DR: SEiNG Video Wall makes it easy to securely share live CCTV with the right people—without creating extra user accounts. From connecting teams across multiple sites to improving customer experience and enabling remote monitoring, it helps organisations get more value from their CCTV while staying secure and in control.

Not every person who needs to view live CCTV should need a full access CCTV management account.

Sometimes it’s a manager checking in on another premises, or a contractor monitoring work taking place on site. Giving these users access to your CCTV platform is often unnecessary and creates additional administration. But giving them visibility supports their work.

There are also other applications of CCTV that, if you’re using a traditional on-premise system, you probably haven’t even been able to explore. Using video surveillance for business intelligence, or to promote internal engagement, for example.

That’s where the SEiNG Video Wall comes in.

It enables organisations to securely share selected live camera feeds with anyone through a web browser. You decide which cameras are visible, when they’re available and what viewers can do, making it a flexible way to improve communication, collaboration and operational awareness without compromising cybersecurity.

Put simply, the video wall lets SEiNG users share real-time footage from specific cameras via a secure, view-only web link. No login is needed – just a browser. It’s ideal for both internal visibility and external communication. And it’s fully customisable. SEiNG users can tailor their video wall by selecting:

  • Which cameras to display, and from which site
  • Whether to stream in standard or high definition
  • If viewers can control the cameras (pan, tilt, zoom)
  • Whether a passcode is required for access
  • When the video wall is active (e.g. office hours only)
  • Whether the video wall is shared publicly or privately

This flexibility makes the video wall an incredibly versatile tool. Many businesses are already using it in creative and practical ways.

Why not just give them a CCTV login?

In many organisations, people outside the security team occasionally need to view live CCTV. That might be a contractor checking work on site, a project manager monitoring progress, or a customer viewing live site conditions. For many organisations with legacy systems, this could mean sharing a single CCTV password. This creates unnecessary security risk, as it makes it almost impossible to keep track of who can access the system – even when the project is over or a person has left the organisation. SEiNG protects platform access with enterprise security features including Single Sign-On (SSO), two-factor authentication (2FA) and customisable user roles. But even then, you may not want to create a full user account for temporary use. Plus, you might want to share live footage to another device – like a screen or your website – rather than an individual.

Video Walls provide a secure alternative. Instead of creating additional user accounts, you can simply share a view-only Video Wall containing only the cameras that person needs to see. Access can be protected with a passcode, scheduled for specific times and configured to expire automatically, making it a simple, secure way to share live footage without increasing the administrative burden on your IT or security teams.

Real-world use cases: SEiNG VSaaS video wall

Here are some of the ways organisations are using SEiNG Video Wall to solve real business challenges and unlock more value from their CCTV.

Keeping an eye on the forecourt

Mercedes-Benz South West stream a live Video Wall to a screen in its sales office, giving the team continuous visibility of the forecourt while they carry out their day-to-day work.

Instead of assigning someone to patrol the forecourt or relying on staff happening to notice arrivals, the sales team can quickly spot potential customers, visitors and vehicle arrivals at a glance. This reduces missed opportunities while allowing staff to stay focused on serving customers, completing paperwork and other priorities inside the showroom.

For even greater awareness, SEiNG can also send intelligent alerts when a person or vehicle enters the forecourt, ensuring the team knows as soon as someone arrives.

Connecting teams across multiple sites

When undergoing a £3,000,000 extension at their Quarry site in Wells, premium UK food manufacturer Charlie Bigham's used a Video Wall to live stream progress to their London office.

Rather than relying on occasional project updates or site visits, colleagues could follow the build as it happened. From major construction milestones to the day-to-day activity on site, the live stream gave everyone a window into the project's progress, helping remote teams feel involved in an important stage of the company's growth.

The result created a shared experience between sites, sparked conversations across the business and helped colleagues in London feel genuinely connected to a project taking place over 100 miles away. Even simple moments—like spotting wildlife around the quarry—became talking points that brought the two locations closer together.

As Head of IT Mike Calverley recalled: “We set up a weatherproof camera outside and I streamed it in real-time to a screen in London. It brought people together as we’d joke about the builders having their cups of tea and we’d even see nature walking around the quarry”. For organisations operating across multiple sites, a Video Wall is a simple way to improve engagement, keep teams informed and make major projects feel like a shared business initiative rather than something happening elsewhere.

Enable flexible working while maintaining operational oversight

Charlie Bigham's also use SEiNG Video Walls to give its effluent plant team a live view of critical infrastructure from home. Previously, team members needed to be on site to keep an eye on the plant. By securely streaming live camera feeds to authorised staff, they can now monitor operations remotely from any device, while maintaining the same level of visibility. This gives employees greater flexibility to work from home, or elsewhere onsite, when appropriate, without losing oversight of critical processes. For organisations managing remote sites or essential infrastructure, Video Walls make it easier to support flexible working and ensure key operations remain under constant supervision.

Improving customer experience with live site information

One waste management operator streamed a public SEiNG Video Wall on their website to show customers how busy its disposal site was in real time.

Before setting off, customers can quickly check current queue lengths and site activity. This helps them choose a quieter time to visit, reducing unnecessary waiting and making the overall experience more convenient.

For the operator, it's an easy way to set customer expectations, spread demand more evenly throughout the day and reduce frustration during peak periods. It's a simple use of live CCTV that improves transparency while delivering a better experience for everyone using the site.

Other ways you could use SEiNG video walls

The potential goes far beyond these examples. Here are a few more ways the video wall could add value:

  • Retail and hospitality: staff can monitor footfall, queue lengths or back-of-house activity remotely, improving responsiveness and efficiency – without needing a full SEiNG account.
  • Events and venues: Organisers can share views of different areas with remote stakeholders, volunteers, or security staff.
  • Construction and property: Clients or investors can follow the progress of a project live, without needing to visit the site.
  • Education and training: Training centres or schools could share access to live sessions, demonstrations, or workshops securely.
  • Farming and agriculture: Operators can keep an eye on livestock or machinery and share access with partners or consultants when needed.

Unlock more value from your CCTV system

A SEiNG Video Wall does more than stream live CCTV. It gives the right people access to the right information, helping teams make faster decisions, collaborate more effectively and improve the experience for customers, colleagues and stakeholders.

Whether you're keeping remote teams connected, supporting flexible working, improving customer service or providing live visibility of key operations, Video Walls make it easy to securely share live camera feeds without compromising control.
