The beginning of the digital age saw the rise of new forms of security measures and surveillance tools. New technology requires new systems and, with each passing year, rapid developments have occurred due to technological innovations in the surveillance industry.

VSAAS, or Video Surveillance as a Service, provides remote video surveillance that uses cloud-computing environments that can be accessed via web portals on the Internet. Using online storage provides users with a practical and mobile surveillance system that can be accessed from devices of their own choosing. The EpiCamera Cloud Surveillance Solution incorporates VSAAS and offers the security and mobility that business owners need.

This mobility benefits business users as they can choose when and where to view their camera feeds as long as Internet connection is available. Users can view their designated sites and facilities from their smartphones, personal laptops and other offsite devices.

Traditionally, surveillance cameras store images and recordings on the premise itself where the system is installed. This form of surveillance requires additional workforce and facilities to provide the necessary support and maintenance while also requiring video management software (VMS). This software is usually specialized to a specific hardware and system, and is impractical should users wish to upgrade to new hardware and systems that might be incompatible with the VMS.

Using a cloud-based surveillance, EpiCamera provides business users with easy access and a simplistic approach. Business users no longer have to worry about installing additional software on personal computers and networking configurations. As these services will require additional workforce and equipment, using VSAAS eliminates such costs.

One of the main concerns of regular onsite surveillance systems is the safety of the data itself. Images and video feeds that are recorded using digital video recorders (DVR) or network video recorders (NVR) are more likely to be compromised during emergencies such as fires, burglary, and device breakdowns due to the data being stored on the device itself.

Besides providing 24 hours real time surveillance, cloud-based surveillance safely stores the data online with no physical backup storage required. Users will be able to monitor various sites with only a single web login to the EpiCamera website. By logging in, users will be able to customize their viewing feeds, manage their data, and create multiple accounts.

Through a secured and easy payment system, business owners will be able to experience all the benefits of cloud-based surveillance with EpiCamera. Bringing in the future of surveillance and security to your business not only helps protect all the employees, product and facilities, but also contributes to technological progress and innovation in the surveillance industry.
