- Cut Your Operational Costs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re not comfortable with the large monetary fluctuations typical of a CapEx model, a cloud-based video surveillance system allows you to charge your security costs to OpEx instead. This distributes your spending over the course of months or years rather than requiring a major up-front purchase.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Use Your Existing Equipment<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
A second way you can implement budget-conscious purchasing is by selecting a cloud video surveillance vendor that works with your existing cameras and existing infrastructure. No more rip-and-replace\u2014you can use cameras you already own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Lock in Your Rate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Third, consider garnering the savings afforded by a multiyear subscription. Not only will you future proof your security, you\u2019ll also reap discounted rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continue reading to learn more about these three areas of cost savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Save with a cloud-based OpEx video surveillance system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Moving from a CapEx (on-prem, purchased equipment) model to an OpEx (cloud-based subscription) model can provide considerable <\/strong>savings out of the gate\u2014up to 35% of the total cost of ownership for many large commercial businesses. The OpEx, cloud-based option provides savings in a number of areas:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- No longer be responsible for upgrading on-prem servers every few years.\u00a0
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - Save on the significant\u00a0<\/strong>electric costs associated with running an on-site system.\u00a0
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Receive continual cybersecurity updates, mitigating the chance of costly breaches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Choose a security system compatible with your current equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSave on surveillance by selecting a security system vendor that works with your existing cameras and infrastructure. Avoid purchasing new or expensive specialty cameras by selecting a platform that is compatible with your current equipment. The Eagle Eye Cloud VMS (video management system) works with thousands of industry-standard (ONVIF) cameras and does not require customers to rip-and-replace their existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lock in pricing with a multiyear subscription<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA third method of savings for your security needs is to not only embrace the OpEx subscription model, but also take advantage of a multiyear subscription. This strategy takes aim at inflation, which remains high. By securing a set yearly subscription price, customers hedge against inflation and lock in a confirmed rate for a term ranging from one to five years. Eagle Eye Networks customers who sign up for a yearly or multiyear subscription establish rates up front to guarantee that their costs will not increase for the length of the subscription. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
