Let\u2019s face it. It\u2019s tempting for business owners to get on Amazon and order an out-of-the-box video surveillance system that consists of an inexpensive DVR and a few cameras, and then check the \u201csecurity\u201d box. Though this initial, low purchase price is certainly appealing, it\u2019s short sighted, because it fails to take into account the total cost of ownership<\/a>. TCO is a big picture look at the cost of owning and managing an asset, which includes the purchase price, plus the cost to operate it over its lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operational costs, many of which are not in plain sight, can significantly raise the cost of technology ownership. However, cloud computing has changed the TCO<\/a> landscape for business security systems. Moving the computing and video storage infrastructure to the cloud results in a total cost of ownership considerably below a typical onsite system. The savings generally range between 20 and 50 percent compared to costs for hosting security cameras for business in a corporate data center (whether in-house or third-party operated). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost benefits of cloud-based over data center-based video surveillance systems are both tangible and intangible and include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
