IFSEC Global – Eagle Eye Networks execs on the “unstoppable” rise of cloud surveillance
September 10, 2018
Eagle Eye Networks is the undisputed leader in the cloud-based video surveillance market in North America.
Having acquired, in 2017, Panasonic Cloud Management Services Europe BV, a provider of similar systems with a strong footprint in Europe, the Dean Drako-founded company is now targeting preeminence across EMEA too.
I caught up with Ken Francis, president of Eagle Eye Networks, and Rishi Lodhi, MD for the EMEA region and founder of Cameramanager, itself acquired by Panasonic in 2013, to find out more.
The pair discuss the company’s close ties with video surveillance giant Hikvision (with which it announced a partnership in June to strengthen network cyber-resilience), the benefits of HD over coax and trialling video analytics in the cloud, and why they’re so bullish in their verdict that the cloud’s benefits make its dominance all but inevitable.
Eagle Eye Networks provides a cloud-based security and operations video management system (VMS) providing both cloud and on-premise recording and a cloud video API for integrations and application development. The API uses the Eagle Eye Big Data Video Framework, with time-based data structures used for indexing, search, retrieval and analysis of the live and archived video.
