Cloud CCTV storage is often more secure compared to on-prem, when a reputable CCTV provider is used. This is because Cloud video surveillance platforms are secure by design and have high-level safeguards that are difficult and often expensive for most businesses to implement on their own. SEiNG in particular takes cybersecurity seriously, with a UK data centre and a number of accreditations such as Cyber Essentials Plus and Secured by Design.
Here’s how cloud CCTV platforms keep your data safe:
- Advanced physical security: professional data centres with 24/7 monitoring, air locks, redundant power and network connections, and distributed storage.
- End-to-end encryption: traditional systems lack encryption by default. Cloud video surveillance ensures data is encrypted in transit and at rest. SEiNG uses SSL encryption for all video streaming on our platform.
- Secure access management: no password sharing. Reputable cloud platforms offer single sign on, 2-factor authentication, and role based access.
- Automatic updates: rather than unpatched servers, you have cloud storage that updates automatically so you always have the most secure version.
- Built-in redundancy and recovery: on-prem storage is vulnerable to single points of failure. Cloud CCTV ensures recordings are always accessible in the event of failure.
The managed difference
With SEiNG, security isn’t an add on. There are no added tiers for features like Single Sign On – every user has access, as protecting your footage is our priority.
Every user also gets compliant UK cloud storage, plus a fully managed service which includes configuration and proactive health monitoring. This means your system is set up as it should be and looked after from day one.
