When you buy an onsite system, it\u2019s only as good as the day you purchased it. It\u2019s kind of like driving a new car off the lot. It instantly depreciates. However, at Eagle Eye Networks, our technology doesn\u2019t become obsolete over time … it only gets better. Consider it one of the many advantages of video surveillance in the cloud, because the cloud enables us to continuously deliver improvements. And, with our subscription model, you don\u2019t have to wait for a technician to show up on site to upgrade or replace your old system; it\u2019s automatically updated and new features are instantly available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve been continuously improving our offerings for seven years now, and this year was no exception. Here\u2019s a look at some notable features launched in 2020: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fisheye Dewarp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fisheye cameras are a popular choice for businesses due to the various efficiencies and cost savings associated with them. The 360-degree image captured from a fisheye camera cuts down on the number of cameras a business needs to monitor a given area, which in turn reduces the power consumption, labor costs, and required maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In May, Eagle Eye Networks introduced its cloud-client fisheye dewarping solution<\/a>, enabling you to capture the full 360-degree image from their fisheye camera and dewarp it right from your browser or mobile device without any plug-ins or licensing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Media Shortcut<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A new Eagle Eye Cloud VMS feature, Media Shortcut<\/a>, was introduced last month. It enables users on the same local network as their video management system (VMS) to receive both live and recorded video directly from the bridge or CMVR to their computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By serving video directly from the appliance to the browser \u2013 and not sending it up to the cloud and back \u2013 bandwidth use is significantly reduced, making the user experience that much better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Archiving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Archiving is a feature that enables you to save video clips for a longer period of time than your normal video retention duration. For example, if you typically store your video for 30 days, but you have an incident that you\u2019d like to save and share, you no longer have to download it to your laptop or save it to a thumb drive. Eagle Eye will store it for up to a year beyond your regular retention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Archiving also allows you to easily organize and optionally share via a secure link to anyone, inside or outside your organization, without requiring a user login. And the secure links can be revoked at any time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
