Cloud-based security opens new strategies and options that weren't available before.
Do you remember life before cloud computing?
When reaching the “information superhighway” meant waiting for a dial tone and offices needed paper clips, folders, and file cabinets, technology company engineers from Salesforce, IBM, and Amazon revolutionized data storage. Rather than using physical servers located on-site, users could access “the cloud” to retrieve data using a complex system of internet-connected servers.
And then our lives changed.
Google Docs transformed word processing in 2006. Netflix defined streaming in 2007. From there, server farms proliferated—and in 2011, people discovered the power of portability. With the launches of Windows 7 and Apple’s iCloud, users could listen, watch, and share from anywhere.
Fast forward to today, and cloud-based IT systems are standard—especially as many organizations navigated to remote-first operations due to the pandemic. IT leaders now default to cloud-based services, according to Foundry's 2023 Cloud Computing research. Survey respondents report that nearly one-third of tech budgets are earmarked for cloud computing solutions and 66% of decision-makers expect to increase their spending on these technologies over the next 12 months.
For asset protection leaders, it’s a great time to consider cloud-based remote surveillance for crime reduction and overall site security. Until recently, many organizations used video surveillance systems mainly as an evidentiary tool, mostly to watch live video, or review security incidents after the fact.
But as iTunes evolved into Spotify playlists, so has cloud-based video surveillance.
Recent innovations in intelligent video surveillance solutions can now deliver a greater return on investment for companies. There are uses for all functions across an organization, including:
In order to make the most informed purchasing decisions, it’s important to explore the different features of mobile security systems that complement existing protocols. From proactive surveillance and remote monitoring to rapid response capabilities and robust video analytics, adding this kind of video surveillance will level up existing business safeguards.
Mobile security solutions with cloud-based video surveillance are flexible, portable, and cost-effective. Here’s why it may be time to upgrade.
No matter where you are, LVT Units keep watch, and you only need to check in when you need to. Remote accessibility allows approved users, from business owners and property managers to asset protection leaders and security personnel, to monitor sites around the clock and from anywhere in the world.
With the LVT Platform, users can conveniently access live video feeds and review previously recorded footage, either using the app or an online dashboard. This frees users from being tied to a specific workstation, and can proactively watch footage or respond to an incident, which makes threat assessments, response times, and taking necessary actions much quicker.
In addition, cloud storage means video footage remains off-site. This reduces the possibility of tampering, theft, or system failures. In the event of any damage to your on-site systems, the cloud ensures that your data remains untouched and intact, ensuring that potential and vital evidence remains intact for law enforcement.
Improved situational awareness is why more than 94% of Fortune 100 retailers use LVT’s advanced mobile surveillance units and security solutions. Other companies use LVT on roads and highways, railway yards, construction sites, airports, hospitals, public and private housing, and other environments.
LVT Units have many different camera options, including:
LVT’s intrusion detection software, backed by our high-resolution cameras equipped with motion detection, recognizes potential trespassers, identifies suspicious activity, and alerts users when someone enters a forbidden area. It’s reliable and simple to use with these intuitive features:
Solar-powered LVT Units use cellular connections, not Wi-Fi, which is more stable and reliable. This means LVT Units provide 24/7 livestream and remote monitoring capabilities without the need for external power or internet hookups.
They are specifically designed to be off-the-grid, regardless of location and send alerts the instant an incident occurs. They provide real-time footage when and where you need it, whether you’re in the field with a smartphone or at your desktop computer.
Flexibility is a key benefit of adding LVT’s cloud-based remote surveillance for crime reduction. One reason is that it allows for increasing storage capacity as necessary. Another is that cloud-based systems are off-site by nature, eliminating the need for on-site equipment with complex installation requirements.
If it’s time to go mobile and embrace a Ron Popeil “set it and forget it” version of cloud-based mobile surveillance, LiveView Technologies’ enterprise security camera systems can help upgrade your tech stack.
The mobile security systems are proactive, complete with integrated layers of video surveillance capabilities including 360-degree remote monitoring and robust video analytics. LVT Units include motion sensors, lights, thermal imaging, and alarm systems, which help companies thwart bad actors’ intentions before they escalate into security incidents.
