Cloud-Based Security Solutions

Cloud-based systems allow authorized users to access live video feeds, door controls, and system alerts from any device, anywhere in the world. Whether you’re on vacation, at home, or managing multiple sites, all you need is an internet connection. Traditional on-premises systems often require VPN access or being physically onsite, creating delays in response and inefficiencies in oversight.

With cloud video surveillance, your footage is stored securely offsite in redundant, encrypted data centers. This means no risk of physical theft, damage, or failure of local equipment. On-premises recorders (like DVRs or NVRs) are vulnerable to power outages, hard drive crashes, tampering, or theft—leaving critical video evidence permanently lost.

Cloud-based systems are managed and updated by the provider. Software patches, firmware updates, and new features are deployed automatically—ensuring you always have the latest protections without burdening your IT staff. On-premises systems often require manual updates, which are frequently delayed or overlooked, creating security gaps and vulnerabilities.

Cloud-based platforms are designed with native integrations in mind. You can control doors, monitor cameras, and respond to alarms all from one dashboard. Event linking is possible—for instance, a door forced open can trigger a camera to record and send an alert instantly. On-prem systems are often siloed, requiring multiple logins, separate vendors, and disjointed monitoring.

Cloud systems are inherently scalable. Whether you’re adding one door or five new buildings, it’s just a matter of adding licenses and hardware—no major infrastructure overhaul required. Centralized management allows you to monitor and control multiple locations from one account. On-prem solutions typically require new servers, more IT resources, and duplicate installations for each site.

Cloud-based solutions often have a predictable subscription model with low upfront hardware costs and minimal ongoing IT demands. On-prem systems may seem cheaper initially, but costs pile up over time with server maintenance, manual updates, IT support, and hardware replacements. Over 5 years, cloud typically wins in both cost-efficiency and value delivered.

With cloud-based security, notifications and live video are instantly accessible via smartphone or browser. You can view the situation, lock down doors, or contact authorities in real time. On-prem systems require someone to be physically present or logged into a secure network, which can cause critical delays during emergencies.

Cloud-based access control gives you detailed audit trails and user access logs in real time. You can quickly add, remove, or change permissions—even for specific timeframes or doors. On-prem systems require more manual intervention, and reporting is often limited or outdated, increasing the risk of unauthorized access slipping through the cracks.

With cloud security, the vendor takes care of updates, backups, cybersecurity protocols, and uptime monitoring. Your internal team can focus on strategic operations rather than system upkeep. On-prem solutions put all responsibility—security, backups, redundancy—on your team, which can be both costly and risky if something’s missed.

Cloud systems offer unmatched agility. You can roll out new features, onboard users, reconfigure access rules, or connect new devices almost instantly—no need for site visits or system reprogramming. On-prem systems are harder to reconfigure and scale, often requiring technician visits, downtime, and hardware limitations that slow you down when agility is key.
