Traditional Camera System Infrastructure vs.
Hybrid Cloud Architecture
Common challenges: scaling, security, remote access and reliability
Infrastructure limitations
- NVRs/DVRs only support a limited number of cameras
- Inconsistent and uncertain retention periods
- Recorder is a single point of failure for all cameras
Difficult to access
- Finding footage is unintuitive and time-consuming
- On–prem access is required for exporting footage
- Shared footage comes in varied, complex formats
Hybrid cloud architecture
Simple to install
- No NVRs, DVRs, or servers—just a PoE connection
- Cameras come online and configure in minutes
- No added software or complexities like port forwarding
Advantages of cloud–managed solution
- Real–time alerts if cameras fall offline
- SAML–based integration with single–sign on (SSO) solutions
- Continuous updates with new AI features
- Instantly share live footage via SMS and email
- Live, proactive alerting based on unusual activity
