This blog explains what VSaaS is, what its benefits are and who can benefit the most from its implementation, as well as provides a checklist of the most important questions to consider when looking for a provider.
What is VSaaS?
VSaaS (short for video surveillance as a service) allows you to record, monitor, manage, play and store video surveillance. How it differs from a traditional on-premises VMS (video management software) is that everything takes place in the cloud. You can either use a direct transmission from the cameras to the cloud or use a gateway server to transmit the data to the cloud. In either case, VSaaS requires less hardware compared to an on-premises VMS. This can be a benefit to organisations looking for a lower up-front investment.
Benefits of VSaaS solutions
- More flexibility
VSaaS allows your operation to scale to size more easily. Adding new locations or cameras is easier and requires less time than when working with on-premises VMS. - Remote access
VSaaS allows access from anywhere at any time through an internet connection, allowing for remote monitoring of operations. - Cost effective
VSaaS requires minimal start-up costs for equipment and installation. Updates are handled by the service provider, which saves on maintenance costs while ensuring access to the latest features. There are also minimal maintenance requirements which leads to a lower overall cost compared to traditional on-premises VMS.
