Yes — and large or multi-site deployments are actually where cloud CCTV delivers the most value. It’s not just about covering more cameras: you get centralised control, remote access, and analytics that go well beyond traditional security.
The advantages at scale
Running more cameras across more sites through one cloud platform opens up possibilities a traditional on-site DVR setup can’t easily do.
View every camera from one place. Centralise every CCTV camera – old or new – across buildings or sites into a single managed cloud platform. Simplify management, gain visibility, and only have one CCTV supplier to deal with.
Simplified access control. Single sign-on, two-factor authentication, and role-based access mean you can create custom roles to limit sites, feeds, and tools to only the people who need them — and revoke access instantly when someone leaves.
Remote monitoring, anywhere. View footage securely from any site, on any device, with just a browser.
Analytics that go beyond security. SEiNG can identify, count, trace, and heatmap people, vehicles, bags, and more — turning footage into reports and dashboards. That opens up uses well beyond security; SEiNG customers use analytics for all sorts, from quality control to alerts when lorries arrive at Goods In.
Lower total cost of ownership. No large upfront hardware spend across every site, no surprise costs when a DVR or on-site server fails — just a predictable monthly cost that makes it far easier to budget and scale as you add sites.
Less IT time spent on maintenance. Updates, system health monitoring, and day-to-day management are handled for you with a managed VSaaS, so there’s no on-site hardware for your team to patch or maintain.
Stronger cybersecurity. With no on-site hardware to secure, cloud CCTV removes a common point of vulnerability. Security is built in from the ground up — encryption, automatic security updates, and footage stored in a GDPR-compliant UK data centre — in a way that’s hard to replicate with an on-premise system.
Bandwidth isn’t the blocker you think it is
More cameras and higher resolution do mean more data. It’s a concern often mentioned when talking about deploying a VSaaS at a large site. However, there are ways to manage bandwidth.
One method is through our cloud gateway. While SEiNG offers hardware-free deployment options, the gateway provides bandwidth management through compression and motion only uploads. It also offers buffering and cyber-hardening through a dual-network approach, as additional benefits. The gateway works with any ONVIF or RTSP camera, giving you the freedom to keep your existing cameras or install new ones where needed.
