Checklist Can your video surveillance keep up as your organization scales across sites? Here's a list of questions to help you decide whether it's time to extend your deployment to the cloud. What to look for in a cloud-based video surveillance system Assessment – Understanding if your VMS meets your security needs A strong video deployment starts with a clear picture of where you stand. Before exploring cloud options, it's worth understanding where your current systems may be holding you back. Check integration and scalability □ Can we unify our video system with access control, intrusion detection, and other security solutions in a single platform? □ Does it have the latest AI-driven analytics and applications? □ Can we grow our video deployment across new sites while maintaining centralized control? Assess storage and compliance readiness □ Can we quickly scale storage to meet evolving retention and compliance needs? □ Do storage expansions need budget approvals, new hardware, and on-site installations? □ Is our storage approach flexible enough to adapt to changing business needs without major overhauls? Review maintenance and remote access □ Are our maintenance and upgrade costs staying manageable as we scale? □ Can we access and share video footage across remote locations without relying on external storage devices? □ Can we share evidence without delaying investigations or compromising the chain of custody? Deployment – Choosing the right model for each site Not every organization or site has the same needs. Looking to modernize incrementally? Choose a flexible approach that can meet your needs now and as you grow.
