The Advantages of Cloud-Based Video Surveillance

For the security of your business, surveillance cameras have always been an important aspect of any security system. However, with advancements in technology, CCTV cameras have become much more powerful and versatile in their applications. Surveying the premises, remote viewing, observing health and safety standards, and keeping records of events are just a few of these versatile applications. To manage all this, it’s a great idea to consider the advantages of cloud-based video surveillance and what it can bring to your business.

By having recordings saved to the cloud, you remove the physical vulnerabilities of your camera’s data and prevent it from being lost should the camera become damaged. This allows you to access the data from other devices and ensures you have a backup copy of your data should the worst occur. The cloud ensures you aren’t keeping your eggs all in one basket, so to speak, where they can all be damaged or destroyed in one fell swoop.

As mentioned, because your data is backed up to the cloud, you can access that data on any other device. However, you can even take it a step further and access your surveillance feed from your phone or other devices. This will allow you to keep an eye on your business even while you’re away. Should an emergency occur, you will receive an alarm on all your devices, enabling you to react quickly.
