Cloud based video surveillance allows users to remotely store, manage, record, play, and monitor surveillance footage entirely on the cloud. The advantages include cost efficiency, remote access to data, secure data storage, and high reliability, among many others.
“The market is ready”
Rishi Lodhia is Managing Director for Eagle Eye Networks, an American company that offers cloud-based video surveillance. He believes that the major benefits of the cloud are that end users do not need to have large hard drives in on site, and do not have to manage video surveillance themselves, or update software since everything is managed centrally.
Rishi Lodhia says: “We get a lot of inquiries from retail but also from others. We offer the services both to small companies and to large organisations such as hospitals and to companies operating in thousands of different locations”
He believes that the market is ready for cloud services and that a shift is underway right now. The IT industry has already made the shift and video surveillance and access control are two of few technologies that have not fully taken the step towards the cloud.
“End customers are driving demand for cloud services in video surveillance and are already used to paying a monthly fee for various services. Retailers and integrators also see the benefits of this business model with recurring revenues”, says Rishi Lodhia.
Håkan Johansson, Axis Communications´ Sales Manager for Northern Europe, is also very positive about cloud services. He says: “With hosted cloud solutions you avoid some start-up costs, and since someone else is managing it for you, there is no need to think about cost for services, upgrades and so on. Paying a monthly fee seems to be very popular for many and especially for small end customers.”
