OFFSITE STORAGE
Hosted Video as a Service (HVaaS) - Off-Site Hosting of Surveillance Video

LIVE VIEW AND MONITOR FROM ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE


Safely store the video from your surveillance cameras off-site at a state-of-the-art data facility. Your video will be stored out of harm’s way at a secure location and monitored daily. The video is stored 24 hours per day, not just for short time periods as activated by motion detection. This means that you will have the video available before and after an instance for verification purposes. Should a camera go off-line or quit archiving, our team will quickly notify an authorized person and work with that person to resolve the issue. You will also be notified of any scheduled maintenance. This notification service is included in the monthly fee that is charged to host your archived video.

As a user with the proper username and password you will be able to view the live and stored video from any PC that is connected to the internet with a high speed broad connection. No additional client-side software or PCI board is needed. No on-site relay server is needed.

The BSC communicates directly with the camera or video encoder for the IP video.

The HVaaS Video as a Service product is designed for small and large business or residential customers who do not have the space or the desire to have a video recording device at their location. The video is stored on servers that are located at an off-site secure data center. These servers are maintained by the Video Network Operations Center (VNOC) through the Remote Video Support Center services.
