In this thought leadership article by Eagle Eye President Ken Francis, 6 top security integrators—Tony Alexander of Convergint, Lucas Ingala of Watchmen Security, Aaron Whitaker of Preventia, Chris Gilbert of Security Pros, Justin Stearns of Chimera Integrations and Lon Bazelais of Grid Squared—talk about the top reasons their business customers are making move to cloud video surveillance.
Video data storage in the cloud was a novel concept when Dean Drako founded Eagle Eye Networks back in 2012. While cloud was being used for almost all other business systems at that time, the physical security industry took a cautious and measured approach to cloud adoption.
Twelve years later, that has changed. Today, cloud is firmly established in our industry, and the Security Industry Association (SIA) has regularly recognized the cloud movement as a top trend in its annual Security Megatrends report.
This year marks a turning point for cloud. In its 2024 Security Megatrends report, SIA identifies cloud technology as a “foundational trend.”
