The cloud offers a cost-effective option for video surveillance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Video surveillance systems play an integral role in securing businesses and streamlining operations but can incur unexpected expenses. A cloud solution can help combat this by offering multiple ways to save. For example, the cloud inherently provides a cost-effective solution because of its use of resource pooling. This means that computing resources are shared and dynamically assigned to users on an as-needed basis, which can save power and money. As a result, more businesses are turning to cloud security systems because they are more economical and practical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the top three ways you can save with the cloud:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. 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
    1. 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

        \n
      1. 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

        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
