With the right context, you will be able to make faster, more effective decisions to decrease response time and ensure minimal damage occurs.



When selecting a remote monitoring solution, it is important to understand the trade-offs that come with each system. With a clear understanding of potential limitations, you can anticipate and plan for blockers to facilitate a smooth deployment. Outside of installation, bottlenecks may continue all the way to the end user, as implementing the wrong system may result in a poor user experience and require additional IT resources to use, access, and operate. To avoid operational inefficiencies and help you make an informed decision, we have outlined three critical considerations that come with each: camera system selection, installation requirements, and software for remote monitoring.

01

Choosing Your Camera SystemWhen it comes to choosing a security camera system, there are four main types to consider: DVR, NVR, cloud, and hybrid cloud systems. The high-level distinction between these systems is how they manage video storage, which affects accessibility for remote viewing and management.

Getting Started With Remote Video Monitoring



A DVR is a recording device that converts signals from analog cameras into a viewable digital format that can be stored on a hard drive. Similar to the NVR, they come with high costs to repair and maintain, and have limits when it comes to scalability and adding cameras.

To open up remote access, port-forwarding or opening a hole in the firewall is required — a well-documented target for malicious actors. This is important to note, because without port-forwarding or firewall configuration, DVR systems are limited to on-premise storage and you need to be wherever the storage device is located to access the footage.

NVRs integrate with internet protocol (IP) cameras that encode and process footage before sending it to the recorder for viewing and storage. They can be a cost-effective option for small to mid-sized businesses with a single location, but maintaining NVRs in multiple locations is known to be time-consuming and laborious. They often require:

• Manual updates that require onsite, technical configurations

• Costly ongoing maintenance for its many hardware components

• Complex configurations, such as port forwarding for remote access, opening up the door to cybersecurity risks

It is also important to note that if cameras need to be added or relocated, there are a limited number of ports available per recorder, which limits scalability.

Cloud systems store and retain recordings in remote servers, allowing footage to be accessed virtually anywhere with an internet connection. They can be an efficient option for organizations that offer turnkey projects where temporary surveillance is needed and minimal configuration is required. Quick to deploy, cloud systems usually have minimal hardware requirements—usually just a camera, internet connection, and internet-connected device such as a phone, tablet, or computer. To access and view recordings, you typically just have to sign into the cloud software platform where video is managed.

However, the trade-off to the convenience of internet connectivity is its impact on network bandwidth. With no local storage, cloud-based cameras stream 100% of recorded footage to the cloud, which results in high bandwidth usage. At scale, this can have a significant impact on your networking costs, as well as the performance of other devices on your network. Storing footage in remote cloud servers is also an ongoing expense that adds up over time, and costly upgrades are required to expand retention in order to meet compliance standards in certain industries.

Hybrid cloud systems are market disruptors that have recently entered the surveillance ecosystem, but are quickly becoming the new standard. They were first embraced by schools, retail stores, hospitals, manufacturers, and organizations with large or distributed campuses, but are now used widely across all industries—even highly-regulated sectors requiring compliance with PCI, HIPAA, or other governmental statutes.

Best For: Individual sites with high-bandwidth internet requiring 1-2 cameras

Best For: Enterprises, large-scale deployments, or organizations requiring multi-site support



Hybrid cloud systems typically consist of onboard storage for retaining footage locally while also providing cloud-based access. By using this approach, they eliminate the single point of failure that plagues traditional systems, ensuring no gaps in coverage occur. Similar to cloud-based cameras, hybrid cloud systems have minimal hardware requirements and footage can be easily accessed from anywhere through web-based software.

Unlike cloud-based solutions, hybrid cloud cameras are able to reduce bandwidth impact by storing and maintaining all footage locally. With Verkada, many customers are able to reduce bandwidth consumption to just 5-20 kbps. The hybrid cloud architecture allows for thumbnails to be uploaded to the cloud, while video is stored on the camera itself. With this approach, it takes 100 hybrid cloud cameras to use the same amount of bandwidth as one pure cloud camera, making them a scalable solution for wide deployments.

02

Installing Your Camera System

Choosing a system may depend on how quickly you need to get your system up and running. Therefore, considering the time and effort required to install a system may be the first step in selecting the right system for your organization. Besides cost, installation is the biggest bottleneck to getting started with any security system—especially if setting up remote viewing is required.

To set realistic goals for stakeholders, make sure you have a thorough understanding of the timeline and network requirements, as well as the cost of overhead for installation equipment and labor. After installation is complete, any ongoing maintenance requirements also play an instrumental role in the ease of use, reliability, and ultimately longevity of your investment. By knowing the trade-offs and requirements, you will have what you need to facilitate a seamless deployment.

How Verkada Does It: Verkada cameras are capable of operating in “steady state”—they send a constant stream of encrypted metadata (including thumbnail images and analytics) to the cloud approximately once every 20 seconds using a bandwidth uplink of no more than 20 kbps per camera.

Installing a CCTV Camera System: Pros, Cons and Considerations

Traditional DVR and NVR systems are known to have complicated installations due to the sheer amount of hardware required. These systems need servers, hard drives, and a laundry list of additional parts that make it difficult to scale. Implementing remote viewing adds another layer of complexity to deployment, as a firewall will have to be put in place before the footage could be seen on a desktop or mobile device.

Though local storage is often considered a “safe” way to keep footage, relying on a recorder introduces a single point of failure that is an even bigger concern than cloud systems. If the NVR or DVR breaks, you don’t just lose recordings for one camera, but every single camera dependent on that recorder. When hardware parts malfunction, gaps in coverage are likely to occur. A general rule of thumb—the more hardware there is to manage, the more likely the system is to fail or need servicing during its lifetime.

Pros of Hybrid Cloud Camera Systems Cons of a Hybrid Cloud Camera Systems

A hybrid cloud camera system may be the right solution for you if…Your organization needs a flexible solution that scales effortlessly and requires remote access to footage across sites.

Installing a Hybrid Cloud Camera System: Pros, Cons and Considerations

With no onsite servers or additional hardware needed, hybrid cloud systems are relatively quick and easy to deploy. Many security vendors offer hybrid cloud camera systems that only require a PoE (power-over-Ethernet) connection to get started. Some solutions also streamline installation by preconfiguring cameras so they are ready out-of-the-box, eliminating the need to download additional software or manually assign IP addresses to each device.

Traditional security solutions, which depend on a consistent Internet connection or centralized recorders (i.e. NVR, DVR) for all cameras, are always at the risk of losing coverage. By removing the dependency on centralized recorders, hybrid cloud cameras are easier to install and scale across locations. With a distributed approach to storing video footage both locally on the camera and in the cloud, they ensure continuous recording and no gaps in surveillance footage. Because there is no single point of failure, they are widely regarded as a safe and reliable deployment.

Installing a Cloud Camera System: Pros, Cons and Considerations

Cloud camera systems are quick to deploy, and like hybrid cloud solutions, require minimal hardware components compared to traditional CCTV systems. Wireless solutions even eliminate the need for extensive cabling, however they can introduce numerous risks associated with performance. Installation may be as simple as connecting your camera to the network—via wire or wirelessly—but as soon as the internet experiences any downtime, camera systems are completely inoperable. If you experience internet drop-offs with your other connected devices, the same will hold true for your cloud-based cameras. By only storing footage in the cloud, the system creates a single point of failure. When a cloud camera drops offline as the result of a network outage or server issue, it has no safeguard in place to alternatively store footage. Oftentimes this results in footage for critical events being lost.

Evaluating Software for Secure Remote Access

Video management software (VMS) is central to the day-to-day application of remote security. A VMS provides a platform for users to control the recording, storing, and sharing of security footage. Certain features in a VMS can significantly improve the ease of remote management, response time, and data security. You want to look for solutions that give automatic remote access and security updates, make it easy to find and share footage quickly, authenticate and provision users, as well as protect data both at-rest and in-transit.

No-Configuration Remote Access Not all solutions make remote management easy. Traditional CCTV systems often require additional software downloads, port-forwarding, VPN servers, or other technical configurations to enable remote access. Consequently, users must jump through several hoops (including first logging in through a VPN) before they can view footage from offsite. In contrast, modern cloud solutions offer a simpler experience—users can simply sign into a web-based platform to gain instant access from both a desktop and mobile device.

The difference between pulling up a live camera feed on a phone and having to log into a desktop each time adds up. Ease of access will also influence the speed of incident response and resolution. If no one can gain access to the system, there will be no one to facilitate the finding and sharing of footage.

☑ How Verkada Does It: Plug-and-play cameras are brought online in minutes, enabling remote access from any browser or device. No need to log into VPNs or conduct technical configurations to gain access to cameras across sites.



Ease of Finding FootageOutside of remote management, your VMS should also make footage retrieval as efficient and effective as possible. After all, what good is the ability to access cameras if you can’t find the footage you need? Certain features make it easier to pinpoint the exact moment of an incident by removing the need to manually watch, rewind, and fast-forward through video content. Look for search features such as time and date search to quickly identify key moments, as well as motion search to filter out meaningful events based on activity detected in-frame.

☑ How Verkada Does It:Edge-based analytics provide options to find events quickly with details like a vehicle’s make or a person’s clothing color, while tools like Motion Search and Heatmaps allow users to filter out meaningful activity within months of data.

Ease of Sharing FootageIf you’re accessing footage remotely, chances are that something already happened and you need to respond to it. A fast response is required to minimize consequences — your VMS should enable you to get footage into the right hands in the least amount of time possible. Modern solutions allow footage to be exported in readable formats, and Verkada specifically supports live feed sharing via SMS or email to first responders. Avoid solutions that require file conversions, exporting to a portable drive, or manual delivery in order to share footage. Whether it’s offloading to a USB or driving to the police station, the more steps that are required, the longer an incident remains unresponded to.

☑ How Verkada Does It: Just a tap of a button, and footage can be saved to unlimited cloud archiving or exported as an MP4. When footage needs to be shared quickly, users can send Live Links with any recipient through SMS or email. No downloads required, feeds open instantly on any device.

Out-of-the-Box Security Security is the biggest potential risk with a remote camera system. There are a host of threats—malware, spyware, ransomware, and more—that can infect entire network ecosystems through your video system by exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities. Though no solution is 100% impenetrable, a thoughtfully designed system architecture can greatly reduce risk and the likelihood of a breach.

On the software and application side, look for safeguards such as regular firmware updates and security patches, as well as at-rest and in-transit encryption. On the user management level, authorization and authentication measures should be in place—often SSO or multi-factor sign-on—to protect against malicious actors gaining entry to the system.

☑ How Verkada Does It: Using industry-standard encryption algorithms, data is protected at rest and in transit. No default login information is used, Verkada offers enhanced user authentication and provisioning with SAML/Oauth, multi-factor verification, and SCIM 2.0. Security updates and patches are deployed automatically—eliminating the risk of outdated systems requiring manual updates.



Modern security systems capable of proactive monitoring add a layer of visibility and context to events that happen in-frame. Systems of the past took a passive role by simply recording footage, often resulting in a reactionary response after an event has already occurred. In contrast, modern security systems equipped with proactive alerts enable an active response in which incidents are addressed as they happen in real-time. Additionally, the information they capture can drive actionable insights to further enhance safety and security at your organization.

So what does proactive security look like? We’ve outlined four security must-haves that every modern solution should provide. As a baseline, your surveillance solution should be able to analyze events in real-time, proactively alert you of key events, and deploy automatic security updates.

Get System Health AlertsWhen a camera suddenly stops recording, gaps in coverage result. To prevent this, physical security and IT teams conduct manual audits that are time-consuming, have high overhead costs, and require frequent check-ups. Alternatively, proactive alerts for system health can provide the peace of mind that cameras are always operational and running, without the need for manual audits. In the event that a camera goes offline or is tampered with, a system alert is issued via SMS or email so it can be acted on immediately.

Moving from Reactive to Proactive Video Security

Get Notified of Meaningful ActivityTo secure facilities, many organizations employ onsite security guards. Motion notifications are an alternative way to have eyes on the ground, without the high overhead cost of having eyes on the ground. Whenever meaningful activity is detected in a camera’s field of view, an alert is triggered to provide actionable information to users. By eliminating the need for active monitoring, motion event alerts save time, reduce overhead expenses, and increase the productivity of security and facilities personnel.

Get Real-Time Incident DataCamera systems capable of identifying people and events in real-time can greatly accelerate response times to incidents while they are still in motion. Rather than being a reactive means for video analysis, cameras today can provide a live heatmap of motion detected across floor plans to better identify where activity is happening in real-time.

This enables teams to quickly pinpoint incidents as they are occurring, see where people are moving, ensure there is no movement towards critical areas, and provide first responders with location data for better context on an emergency situation. Some systems that can accurately detect faces in frame will also send you an alert if a person of interest is identified on-camera. To prevent false positives, these alerts should be backed by edge-based video processing with computer vision that can accurately identify people or situations in frame.

Get Automatic Security UpdatesWith automatic firmware and software updates, customers can better protect their organization from cyberattacks that lurk behind-the-scenes. An up-to-date system is a best practice to any proactive response strategy, since ironically, the security system meant to protect you could also be your greatest vulnerability. Malicious actors from anywhere in the world can find and exploit outdated software and firmware to gain access to private information. Deploying a solution that proactively protects itself by issuing automatic updates and regular security patches prevents backdoors from being opened, and will save you a lot of headaches in the long-run.
