Cloud wins for flexibility and cost management
On-Premise refers to systems which are physically located within a company’s own facilities and are made up of servers, storage, networking, and the software needed to make the surveillance and monitoring to work. Cloud security systems use cloud computing to store and manage data online, making it easy to access security systems from anywhere. The improved flexibility, scalability, ease of integration and reduced total cost of ownership are the major advantages of the cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions
[/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”What is cloud security?”]
These security solutions leverage cloud storage to offer scalable, flexible, and remotely accessible options for enhancing security measures.
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is cloud-based CCTV?”]
Cloud-based CCTV is a surveillance camera system with remote server storage for camera footage. This means that unlike traditional CCTV systems users do not need to purchase or maintain the conventional storage hardware, such as network video recorders (NVRs) on site. Upgrades to the video surveillance management software are provided automatically via the cloud ensuring users always have the latest capabilities of the system.
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What are the key benefits of using cloud-based CCTV?”]
Cloud-based CCTV allows users to have flexible and scalable security systems without the cost and maintenance of NVRs. Instead you have the benefit of improvements to the video surveillance software automatically. With advanced systems like Alta Aware Cloud Storage you can minimise bandwidth disruptions by scheduling cloud back-ups when network activity is low and set the maximum streaming quality.
Cloud video surveillance is extremely secure as onsite recorders can be susceptible to physical threats, like theft and damage.
Cloud video surveillance systems are also available anywhere and at anytime from any mobile device with an internet connection. This means users can manage multiple sites with ease.
Choosing Cloud CCTV is ideal if you have multiple sites that you would like to link to a single security system but equally it would be suitable if you have a small site and limited space for an NVR but still need the most advanced surveillance technology.
You can make your CCTV system more proactive than a conventional CCTV system by receiving real-time and customised alerts.
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Is cloud-based CCTV secure?”]
Cloud-based CCTV is extremely secure as data is transferred with end-to-end encryption and automatic updates sent as required to protect the system. It also removes the risk physical threats associated with an onsite NVR. Ensure you install a fully compliant cloud storage system, such as Avigilon Alta, to be certain data privacy is always maintained.
By storing your footage in the cloud you have a concrete backup.
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Can I access my cloud CCTV footage from anywhere?”]
Cloud CCTV footage can be accessed from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. You will need to install an app if you want to view the footage easily on a smart phone. The Alta Video app mirrors its web client allowing you to view live video, triage alarms and manage security .
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What happens if my internet connection goes down?”]
If you have cameras with embedded storage you will not lose footage if the internet connection fails and the CCTV system will continue to function.
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is touchless access control?”]
Touchless access control systems can complement or replace traditional access card methods, enhancing hygiene and convenience as they do not require the user to physically touch the reader or door handle to gain access. A touchless door handle or touchless door knob can be integrated to work with different types of credentials, including proximity cards, biometric indicators and app-based controls, with none of these methods requiring physical touch to unlock doors.
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is the advantage of cloud-based access control?”]
Cloud-based access control means the systems are more scalable and flexible than ever.
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What are the benefits of Avigilon Alta access control?”]
The main benefits of Avigilon Alta access control are:
- Fast, reliable patented Triple Unlock technology that supports multiple secure access methods
- Touchless mobile experience with digital badges, guest passes, and two-way intercom capabilities
- Secure cloud-based software with remote management and automatic system updates

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Who can benefit from Avigilon Alta access control?”]
Anyone who wants an easy-to-use access control solution which takes advantage of the power of the cloud. In particular: users, managers, staff or visitors in schools and colleges; commercial sites of all types and residential blocks would all benefit from Avigilon Alta.
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What are cloud-connected intruder alarms?”]
Cloud-based intruder alarms use the internet to connect devices and to manage the systems.
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What are the advantages of cloud-based intruder alarm systems?”]
Cloud-based intruder alarm systems allow us to install wireless alarm systems that can be managed and maintained remotely. These allow for lower upfront and ongoing costs.
[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Is the cloud storage secure?”]
Whatever cloud service is being used ensuring data is kept secure is very important. The cloud-connected security solutions are software as a service (SaaS). The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre recommends using SaaS cloud providers because then users can delegate responsibility for cybersecurity to them and they also gain the security benefits of the provider working at scale.
The National Cyber Security Centre has developed 14 principles for those considering a cloud-based service to help them choose a provider. This includes aspects such as ensuring data is adequately protected against tampering and eavesdropping as it transits networks inside and external to the cloud. Assets stored should also be protected against physical tampering. Protections should include meeting data protection laws and undertaking mitigations such as encryption, data centre security, secure erasure and service resilience. Cloud services should also be designed, developed and deployed in a way that minimises and mitigates threats to their security.
When selecting a cloud security provider, organisations should ensure that data is transferred with end-to-end encryption, two-factor authentication is used to access systems, and that automatic updates will be sent as required to protect the system. Additionally, it is important to install a fully compliant cloud storage system, such as Avigilon Alta, to be certain data privacy is always maintained. By storing the footage in the cloud, users should then have a robust backup for your video recordings, for example. These systems then remove the risk of physical threats associated with an onsite server and local camera storage.
The delivery of cloud security may be via a managed service provider (MSP) that will handle the service on behalf of the end user. To ensure the system is maintained the MSP will need to have privileged access to the service so that they can support the client properly.
