Checklist Explore cloud-native and hybrid options □ Can we deploy a fully cloud-native video system without any traditional on-site servers? □ Do we have the option to combine on-prem and cloud-based systems in a hybrid model? □ Can we maintain local edge recording alongside cloud-based video management and backup? Look for flexibility across your environment □ Can we choose the deployment model that works best at each location? □ Will we be able to modernize one site at a time without overhauling our entire system? □ Does our video surveillance support both on-prem and cloud, or a mix of both? Operations – Simplifying management and reducing costs Does managing video surveillance across distributed sites take more effort than it should? You might want to centralize oversight and give operators secure access from anywhere. Centralize multi-site oversight □ Does the solution remove the need to manage and maintain older NVRs on-site? □ Can our team handle configurations and monitor system health remotely? □ Are updates automatically pushed from the cloud to minimize operating costs and on-site visits? Cut back on costs and simplify maintenance □ Can we generate reports for door activity, credentials, and occupancy required for Clery- and FERPA-related reviews? □ Can ad hoc reports be shared with auditors, leadership, or campus police? □ Can we automate reports to reduce manual effort during audits or investigations? Give secure access from anywhere □ Can our team securely access live and recorded video from anywhere, using a web client or mobile app? □ Can we define role-based permissions without losing centralized oversight? □ Can we share video data and analytics with other teams (operations, facilities, safety) without compromising governance? Align with IT and network teams □ Can we control bandwidth usage and align video workloads with IT network policies? □ Can we adjust storage capacity dynamically as our retention needs change? □ Does the platform give visibility into system health, network usage, and performance so IT can monitor impact?
