In recent years, there has been an increase in attacks and burglaries across the world. According to a report by Statista, the global burglary rate is at 7.25 burglaries per 1,000 inhabitants, and the trend is increasing. With the rise in crime rates, businesses are faced with the challenge of securing their premises from potential threats. Fortunately, there is an effective solution - Cloud CCTV.
CCTV, also known as closed-circuit television, is a system of cameras and monitors that captures and records video footage of an area. The footage can be monitored live or recorded for later viewing. CCTV is a proven and effective method of deterring criminal activity, providing evidence for investigations, and improving overall safety and security.
Why CCTV is Keeping Businesses Secure
One of the biggest advantages of CCTV is that it is a highly visible deterrent to criminals. Knowing that they are being watched and recorded significantly reduces the likelihood of criminal activity. If a crime does occur, the recorded footage can provide vital evidence for investigations and prosecution.
CCTV systems can be installed in a range of environments, from small businesses to large public spaces, and can be tailored to suit the specific needs of each location. Modern CCTV systems are highly sophisticated and can be integrated with other security systems, such as alarms and access control systems, to provide a comprehensive security solution.
Cloud CCTV: More Accessible and Easy to Use Than Ever
In recent years, cloud technology has revolutionized the way that CCTV is managed and accessed. Cloud CCTV, also known as hosted CCTV, is a system where the video footage is stored on remote servers and accessed over the internet. This means that businesses no longer need to invest in expensive on-site storage and can access their footage from anywhere with an internet connection.
Cloud CCTV has made CCTV more accessible and easier to manage than ever before. With the ability to access footage remotely, business owners and managers can monitor their premises at any time and from any location. This is particularly useful for businesses with multiple sites, as they can manage all their CCTV systems from a single central location.

Cloud CCTV is Smarter Than Ever
Cloud technology has revolutionized the way that CCTV is managed and extended the pool of companies that can have access to this invaluable technology
Motion Detection: Modern CCTV systems can detect motion within their field of view and alert the owner or manager when there is movement. This means that businesses can be alerted to potential threats in real time, allowing them to take action before any damage occurs.
Smart Searching: Cloud CCTV systems can analyze video footage and highlight specific events, such as a person entering a restricted area or a vehicle arriving on-site. This makes it easier for businesses to find the footage they need quickly, saving time and effort in investigations.
Footfall Tracking: Gain the ability to track the number of people entering and exiting a location, providing valuable data on customer flow and behaviour. This data can be used to optimize store layouts, improve customer experience, and increase sales.
Facial Recognition: Cloud CCTV systems can use facial recognition technology to identify individuals and track their movements. This can be useful in identifying known criminals or tracking the movements of specific individuals.
ANPR: Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a technology that can read and store the license plates of vehicles entering and exiting a location. This can be useful in identifying suspects and tracking their movements.
Night Vision: Modern CCTV cameras are equipped with infrared sensors that allow them to capture clear images even in complete darkness. This means that businesses can remain secure 24/7, even in low-light environments.
