Cloud video storage gives security dealers and integrators more flexibility in how customers access, manage, and retain video while creating new opportunities for recurring monthly revenue.
SecureGuard® Cloud brings cloud video storage, cloud streaming, remote management, and system monitoring into one platform, making it easier to build cloud services around the needs of each customer.
Flexible Cloud Video Storage
Not every customer has the same recording or retention requirements SecureGuard® Cloud offers event-based and continuous cloud recording with multiple retention options. Storage plans can also accommodate custom stream settings and recording schedules.
This gives dealers the flexibility to tailor cloud video services for different applications from a single commercial location to customers managing multiple sites.
More Than Video Storage
Cloud storage is only part of the value. SecureGuard® Cloud connects video services with tools that help dealers remotely support and manage customer systems.
When cloud storage is purchased, dashboard monitoring, configuration, and cloud streaming are included within the storage plan pricing.
For dealers, this creates an opportunity to provide more ongoing value without adding complexity for the customer.
Turn Cloud Video Into Recurring Revenue
Traditionally, much of the revenue from a video surveillance project comes from the initial equipment sale and installation. Cloud services can extend that relationship beyond the original job.
Dealers can package cloud storage, streaming, remote management, and system monitoring into ongoing services. The result is an opportunity to create recurring monthly revenue (RMR) while providing customers with continued support and greater visibility into their security systems.
For multi-site customers, SecureGuard® Cloud also provides a centralized structure for managing customers, locations, users, and devices.
