There have been times when cloud video surveillance was a hard sell. Bandwidth management, cost of Internet lines and the fact that video surveillance was solely the responsibility of the physical security department definitely contributed.
Rishi Lodhia, managing director for Eagle Eye Networks in EMEA, has been through it all. He started in the security industry fifteen years ago with a cloud solution and encountered a lot of pushback in those days. “In the end, the same thing happens across all industries. As a disruptor, you’re first being downplayed before you’re taken seriously. The same thing happened in the car industry. Fifteen years ago, a diesel or gasoline car was your go-to offer if you wanted a reliable, value-keeping car. Now, within fifteen years, a diesel car has become the dinosaur in the car industry, overtaken by electric and hybrid cars. And the same thing is happening in video surveillance now that the barriers for adopting cloud have been taken away and the analytics and computing power cannot be rivalled in premise-based solutions.”
