Has the Coronavirus Pandemic Caused an Accelerated Push for the Cloud?

July 10th, 2020



As the economy recovers and many employers plan for a more remote-friendly future, experts say this pivotal turn could accelerate a shift to cloud services for employers of every industry. This blog post will examine cloud surveillance benefits, and how it will become a crucial tool as we move past the pandemic and into our ‘new normal.’ 

Benefits of Cloud Surveillance

As the coronavirus forces employers to conduct interoffice communication and business operations remotely, Cloud surveillance, which provides a secure way to store video footage in an off-site location, offers another layer of agility that an on-premise infrastructure cannot provide by quickly scale up flexibility, security, and scalability around decentralized employees. Assuming that more employees will continue to conduct business from home, cloud surveillance offers many benefits to every industry:

  •   No on-site hardware to manage. Cloud surveillance removes the up-front costs found with a traditional system and reoccurring maintenance fees and software updates. With cloud surveillance, everything is handled remotely and automatically. 
  •   Centralized management. Ideal for both single and multiple-location businesses, cloud surveillance allows you to manage an unlimited number of cloud-enabled cameras, from any number of locations. Cloud surveillance presents a more straightforward way to oversee and view live or recorded footage – all conducted from one single interface.
  •   On-demand scalability. Cloud surveillance provides the ultimate flexibility to grow your security system as your business grows. Pay for what you need, when you need it and nothing more. Adding two locations next month? Add cameras and grant new users unique permissions. Are you closing a store? Disable cameras with the click of your mouse.

Hybrid Cloud Surveillance– Best of Both Worlds

Adding a few cloud-enabled cameras to your most critical areas is a powerful, cost-effective way to enhance your on-premise system's security without committing to a total system upgrade or overhaul. Cloud VS makes it simple, giving your clients immediate, 24/7 secure storage for valuable footage they can't afford to lose.

Additional cloud benefits include:

Reliable performance - offering uninterrupted, high-speed cloud technology providing total and continuous coverage for all connected devices

Ultra-secure, triple-redundancy - all video footage is stored at an off-site, tier-4 U.S. based location - with the same level of security major financial institutions use to store your banking information

Scalability - to add additional cameras, users, and locations as your security needs change, and your business grows, so you only pay for what you need - when you need it!

The hybrid cloud model is ideal for:

  •   schools/universities
  •   restaurants/bars
  •   multi-location retail
  •   hotels
  •   churches
  •   construction sites
  •   wedding venues
  •   daycare centers

"Steve I just wanted to thank you and your partner Ray Kindsfather for the fine work you men did installing the security cameras around my home. The quality of the pictures is excellent, the clarity in day or infrared mode is exactly what I was looking for. What good is a camera if you can't identify the person and these cameras will greatly assist the police in identifying a perpetrator. The computer side of the job is easy and fast with very little adjustment time for me in finding what I want to see. Software and hardware get A+++++ no doubt about. The Ring is equally easy to use and the quality of the camera is equally strong. The installation was clean and fast. You maintain a clean site, it’s like you were never here. You answered all my questions with pin point accuracy. Integrity suits you well. Your answers were honest and to the point. Refreshing in today’s world. All and all you and Ray make a strong team at DWS Technology LLC. I have no problem recommending you to friend or family, home or business. God bless you both with your business. I will call you for future installations. "

"Ray, in reviewing several different security cameras there were many good products, but none met my criteria of clarity and no long-term contract. Raymond, you showed me one product that caught my attention with the clarity and distance viewing that I could not get with other systems. The zoom after a few feet became distorted with the other systems but with the Alibi NVR package you demoed, we could zoom in and out with clarity which made this product stand out from all the rest. The NVR system is so simple, in fact, anyone can configure the system to suit their needs. You can monitor your home from your smartphone or tablet and having security cameras makes it a great deterrent for criminal activity. DWS Technology delivered as promised! Your installation crew worked clean and treated my home as if it was their own. Great attention to detail! I will recommend DWS Technology to anyone! Great job guys!"
