If you’re a business owner, you probably think about the safety of your business daily.  Protecting your business can take many forms, from making sound financial decisions and hiring reliable and trustworthy employees; to having emergency preparedness plans or an insurance policy if something happens. Like an insurance policy, security cameras, traditionally, are purchased as a “just in case” safety measure. After they get installed, they often sit, forgotten and unchecked, until something happens. When that “something” occurs, relief quickly settles in as you remember the security cameras you purchased for this occasion. Sound familiar? At this point in the story, scenes can play out in several way.

Scenario 1: Your surveillance system caught and recorded the entire incident. You have everything you need, and you can quickly provide it to the necessary authorities.

 We’ve started on a great foot. Things have gone according to plan, your money is well spent, and you’re pleased with the return on your investment. This is the ideal situation, unfortunately though it’s not the one we see most often.

Scenario 2: Your surveillance system caught and recorded the incident. You have everything you need but are struggling to figure out how to share the footage with the necessary authorities. 

Scenario two isn’t without its inconvenient bugs. Still, your money was well spent, and you’re pleased to be able to put the matter behind you.

Scenario 3: Your surveillance system recorded a portion of the incident, but the quality is poor and isn’t of much use to the authorities.

Uh oh, scenario three doesn’t sound so good. You bought a system, but in the end, it failed you. Sure, you can prove that something happened, but no more and no less. That’s not so useful and not good for your ROI.

Scenario 4: Your surveillance system didn’t work. It recorded nothing of the incident. There’s not a single thing to show during that time.

If you thought scenario three was rough, this one is infinitely worse. With no footage at all-, you can’t even prove that something happened, let alone what happened. You might as well have never purchased the cameras for all the good they did. You can forget about your ROI, that’s lost somewhere in the camera footage. So, what do you do now? Forget about on-site recorders, retrieval issues, and lost or poor-quality footage; they’re old news.

There’s a better option: ASI CamCloud! Whether for a single location or a commercial enterprise with sites scattered across several states, Anderson Security Integration has a solution for you to take control of your video-based security needs. When the CamCloud Surveillance system gets installed at your business, there is no longer a need to purchase new recording equipment or backup systems. Additionally, you can keep critical floor space that would've been absorbed by massive storage cabinets, for maintaining recorded footage. Designed to work with most of the leading brands of cameras on the market today, you can have confidence that you have support available in the market today. The CamCloud platform is entirely PLUG & PLAY with no elaborate configuration required or the need for extensive service expertise to get set up. The CamCloud system is a hardware-free platform, allowing access and control of an infinite number of cameras or physical locations, all while fully integrating into your local systems, storage devices, and video encoders. If there is an issue with any of the cameras in your account, you will be notified via text or email. The CamCloud system also sends an alert if unauthorized motion is detected. While you also have an unlimited number of users on your account, you can restrict the account privileges or which users have access to view specific cameras. You can maintain and store essential video surveillance safely off-site, where it cannot be compromised, in duration intervals of 7, 14, 30, 60, or 90 days. Through the streamlined TIMELINE feature of the mobile app, your private cloud archive is just a click away. Better yet, it can integrate with most solutions you may already own if your internet service provider goes down and is viewable through the cloud app. Without the CamCloud Surveillance system installed at your business, your security remains vulnerable to hardware failure and damage by fire and water and is susceptible to burglary or employee theft.
