Introduction to Cloud CCTV
What is Cloud CCTV for Business?
Cloud CCTV, also known as Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS), combine the benefits of high-definition traditional camera systems with advanced Cloud technology. As your footage is captured, it’s stored on remote servers via the Cloud – compared to traditional CCTV systems that rely on local storage devices like hard drives or Network Video Recorders (NVRs).
A key component of cloud CCTV is the Video Management System (VMS), which makes it easy for you to manage, monitor, and access your security footage remotely. You can view your footage in real-time, on any device, and in any location, via a secure web-based management interface, all facilitated by the VMS.
A major benefit of Cloud CCTV storage is the scalability; users can easily increase camera numbers and storage to meet operational requirements. It also allows for advanced features like ANPR, facial recognition, anomaly detection, video analytics and object tracking – all at a lower cost compared to traditional systems.
With increasing demand for ‘Cloud first’ technologies, the move to Cloud-based security cameras offer a more flexible, affordable, and reliable video surveillance platform compared to traditional systems.
