Cloud-connected security allows users to have scalable and flexible systems covering access control, surveillance cameras, discreet monitoring and intruder alarms. There is no requirement for the purchase of storage or processing hardware.
Remote management made easy
If you have multiple locations a cloud system can be managed from anywhere. Less security or IT staff are required physically on site as they will be alerted quickly if there are problems. Managing and fixing issues can often then be done remotely.
Central management of multiple locations is therefore also available ensuring more efficient monitoring of premises. This provides several benefits. For example, in respect of access control it is easy for users to add and remove access credentials entirely through digital platforms. Meanwhile remote management of intruder alarms enables users to set and unset their system remotely as well as allowing for remote management by your security installer to keep the system maintained.
Ability to be proactive
In respect of surveillance cameras always-on analytics allows management to be more proactive, deal with incidents quickly and search quickly for events on the system if a notification has been triggered. Cloud-based access control also enables live occupancy monitoring. To allow for a speedy transition to the cloud for surveillance it is possible to use IP cameras and cloud connectors to access the Avigilon Alta cloud-based software.
Easy Integration
Another advantage of cloud-connected security, which means you can optimise its effectiveness, is that it can be more easily integrated than even other IP systems. We are partnered with Pinnacle Systems whose platform can bring together monitoring and security systems into one dashboard. Separately, Motorola Solutions has unified the Avigilon Alta platforms we offer providing surveillance cameras and access control.
Cloud-connected systems mean your security and monitoring is always kept up-to-date due to automatic and system-wide updates. This also means the cyber security of the system is maintained. Users can maintain audit logs of admin portal activity and control who has access to your data to keep your systems further protected.
Therefore, if organisations want to optimise their security systems choosing cloud-connected platforms makes sense. If you want to know more about the cloud-based systems we offer please get in touch.
