Why IT Leaders Choose Eagle Eye Cloud VMS

As camera counts rise and system complexity increases, it’s crucial for IT leaders to make smart choices when it comes to their video surveillance management system. Questions like the cost of maintenance, how the VMS manages bandwidth, camera compatibility, cybersecurity and integration possibilities are all important areas to evaluate when determining the right solution for your organization.

The Eagle Eye Cloud VMS was designed with IT in mind. We built a system that is secure, reliable and flexible, empowering your IT team and minimizing the resources they spend on video surveillance management.

Increased Cybersecurity

For many IT leaders, the biggest challenge with cloud-based video surveillance is ensuring that it’s truly cyber secure. Many of the options available for VSaaS solutions are built on a public cloud, making them vulnerable to security breaches and direct attacks.

The Eagle Eye Cloud VMS is built on the Eagle Eye Private Cloud, eliminating the threats of a public cloud. Additionally, there’s no port forwarding with remote access. The Eagle Eye Bridges and CMVRs isolate cameras from the internet so there’s no backdoor into the network, providing truly secure remote access. Video data is fully encrypted during transmission and at rest.

Cost Efficiency

Traditionally, video surveillance solutions have been costly investments that require significant upfront and maintenance costs.

The Eagle Eye Cloud VMS offers a much lower upfront cost, or total cost of ownership (TCO), with substantial economies of scale. Customers pay on a subscription-based model, so you’re only charged for what you actually need, and with over 3,000 compatible IP, analog, and HD over Coax cameras you also save money by choosing your own cloud cameras, or using the cameras that are already installed on-site.

The cost of maintenance is also significantly reduced with continuous, over-the-air delivery of new features and security improvements. That means improvements happen for Eagle Eye customers faster and more frequently, without the need to replace existing hardware or software.

Intelligent Bandwidth Management System

One of the most fundamental elements of computer networking for video surveillance systems is bandwidth. To ensure that anyone, regardless of bandwidth, can optimize their usage of the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS, we’ve built tools into the system to help with bandwidth management.

Using our Intelligent Bandwidth Management System, it’s easy to determine how much bandwidth the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS is using, and when it’s using it. During business hours, bandwidth usage is oftentimes stretched thin to accommodate everyone on-site. In this case, you can tell the system to only move video footage to the Cloud after hours, when bandwidth is more available, resulting in minimal impact on your operations.

Using the Intelligent Bandwidth Management System, you can determine:

• Percentage of Available Network
• Fixed Amount of Bandwidth
• Schedule for Video Transmission

You’ll always have access to your substream (or preview stream) in real-time no matter what but these tools will help you effectively manage the upload of your high-resolution video to the Cloud.

Infinite Scalability with Open API

No one tool can address every need a company has, but leveraging cloud-based solutions makes it easier than ever to integrate these tools into one unified platform.

Our open API ecosystem makes it possible for businesses and developers to integrate any number of applications with the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS platform. The Eagle Eye Video API Platform handles all the heavy lifting of interfacing with the cameras, recording video, securely transmitting and storing video to the cloud and making video available for use in the integrated applications.

Businesses will continue to move their video surveillance systems to the cloud because of reduced upfront costs, minimal hardware requirements, low-levels of maintenance, and the ability for infinite scalability.
