Why Cloud-Based CCTV Is Gaining Ground—And Fast
Not too long ago, most surveillance systems were bulky, on-prem setups with DVRs tucked inside control rooms and footage being overwritten every few days to save storage. But times have changed—and so have the expectations.
Today, cloud-based surveillance is not just a buzzword. It’s a smarter, more scalable, and increasingly necessary approach to security.
Let’s break it down.
Why the shift?
- For one, businesses are no longer restricted to single-site operations. Retail chains, logistics hubs, or even multi-location corporate offices need access to footage across cities—sometimes in real-time.
- Traditional storage solutions are vulnerable to theft, tampering, malware, or hardware failure. Cloud storage reduces these risks drastically.
- Scalability is a breeze. Need to increase retention or expand coverage? It’s a few clicks away—not a cabling or hardware marathon.
But what about the internet?
Yes, stable internet is essential. But hybrid models now allow for edge recording with smart- sync—so there’s a backup even if connectivity drops. Smart compression also helps manage bandwidth consumption.
At Cebex, we’ve gone a step further. Our in-house software solution is designed to solve real-world pain points:
- It enables rapid review of large volumes of CCTV footage—turning hours of manual scanning into minutes.
- Our proprietary compression algorithm significantly reduces storage and bandwidth costs, without compromising on video quality.
- Even for clients using local or on-prem storage – as is mandated by law in many verticals – the software increases compliance and visibility by automating backup protocols.
For IT heads and security managers, cloud-based solutions reduce maintenance overheads, simplify audits, and make disaster recovery easier. And when integrated with AI and analytics, cloud becomes a powerhouse for data-driven decision-making—not just surveillance.
Security is evolving. The cloud just makes it lighter, faster, and smarter.
