Knowledge is power. And understanding how things work is the first crucial step to take before engaging in any form of purchase. We are here to highlight on the 10 things that any person who is interested in cloud surveillance, whether for personal or corporate use, or to establish their own business, should know about.

EASILY DEPLOYED
It takes a very short amount of time to make cloud surveillance up and running compared to old-school onsite installations.
|
| |
ALL THE STORAGE SPACE YOU NEED
Surveillance tapes, discs, and onsite physical storage devices are easily overwritten, compromised, or damaged. With cloud storage, data is kept at an offsite-dedicated server where you can access it at all times. And as EpiCamera offers more storage space at a reasonable price, cloud is definitely the way to go.

WANDERLUST REJOICE!
If you are constantly on the go, whether it’s for leisure or business, cloud surveillance will let you access your system from anywhere, at anytime. Curious about what’s going on at your office? Just use your web login or mobile apps and monitor away.
|
| |
SCALABILITY
We can’t stress enough how important it is for solutions to be scalable. With cloud surveillance you can deploy the solutions at the right cost while ensuring you have the optimum number of cameras attached, storage required, and billing cycle.
|
| |
MAINTENANCE, NO MORE
Onsite dedicated servers and storage can be very expansive to install and could incur and even more costly maintenance fees to make sure all is running smoothly. With cloud you not only reduce those costs, you even save office space.
|
| |
FLEXIBILITY
You can select various types of cameras and models to connect to cloud surveillance and accessing them is easy as all you need is an Internet connection. Say goodbye to incompatibility issues with operating systems. Any decent web browser can do the job perfectly fine.
|
| |
DATA PRIVACY
While everyone can access the same website, connecting to your surveillance system will require exclusive login rights and sessions are always encrypted. This helps secure the network from any form of attacks and keeps your data safe.
|
| |
DATA SAFETY
Onsite servers can be damaged, suffer from power outage, or be affected by technical issues. Any form of compromise that may befall your premise will not affect your data since it is stored in the cloud, making backup and access easy. However, it should be noted that if the cloud server suffers from such problems, then your data would be affected.
|
| |
DECENTRALIZED SYSTEM
Because the cloud surveillance uses offsite servers, managing the entire system can be a hassle. Cloud surveillance is built on many aspects from the cameras attached, computer and browser used, cloud server provider, and the service provider itself. Each of these aspects must be working properly for the entire system to operate whereas onsite installations are usually offered in complete packages.
|
| |
INTERNET DEPENDENT
Internet connection bandwidth limits can be troublesome to those using cloud surveillance as the entire system is dependent on the availability of the Internet. Without any decent connection, data may not be recorded and stored properly and mobile access to the system will no longer be an option.
|
| |
We hope that these 10 things about cloud surveillance shine a light on what to consider in using the technology. As technology develops at a high-speed rate, the disadvantages mentioned could be solved, though new issues can arise. Experience cloud surveillance with EpiCamera and find out what you have been missing.
