Cloud Video Surveillance vs. On-Premise: What’s Right for Your Business?

Traditional video surveillance meant DVRs on-site, local storage, and limited remote access. Cloud video surveillance changes all of that — connecting your cameras to the internet for remote monitoring, AI-powered alerts, and off-site footage storage. Here’s how to decide which approach fits your business.

Advantages of Cloud Video Surveillance

  • Access live and recorded footage from any device, anywhere
  • No on-site DVR/NVR to maintain or replace
  • AI-powered motion detection and real-time alerts
  • Footage stored securely off-site — protected even if hardware is stolen
  • Easy to scale across multiple locations

Vivant’s cloud video surveillance includes professional installation, AI motion detection, and up to 90 days of cloud storage. Learn more.
