How Does Cloud Video Surveillance Provide Unparalleled Accessibility

January 3rd, 2023



Almost every security system today can be accessed by utilizing an on-site recorder or through off-site measures. Whether you own a brick-and-mortar or a multi-location franchise, this blog post will dive into two unique challenges of an on-premise system, and how cloud video surveillance provides an unmatched accessibility solution. 

Two Challenges, One Solution 

A traditional system presents several accessibility challenges – especially at the multi-location level: 

  • How many customers or users can access their system simultaneously 
  • Network infrastructure required to support con-current streaming. 

Daycare facilities are a prime example of these accessibility restrictions. For example, a typical daycare may have one hundred parents (or more) checking in on their children via remote access. This is very hard to do with an on-premise system, especially if one hundred parents try to log in to the recorder at the same time. All those requests require bandwidth to be pulled one hundred times from that your site, which your system may not be able to support. 

What many end-users fail to realize is that from both a cost and resource perspective, they may or may not be equipped to provide their customers and their business with the accessibility they need. 

Cloud VS Security Provides a Simple Accessibility Solution 

Whether you have a single location, multi-site, or a tri-state franchise, accessibility limitations can be simplified with an off-premise solution. Unlike a traditional system that streams data directly from your site, Alibi Cloud VS provides unlimited users with data that’s pulled directly from our ultra-secure, off-site tier-4 data center. Compared to a traditional system that requires you to add a recorder in every location, Cloud VS stores and securing your data evidence off-site, providing unlimited users and con-current streaming from a centralized location. Cloud VS removes the burden and complexity of accessibility challenges, with a more secure solution! 

Cloud VS Scales Up as Your Business Grows 

Another advantage of cloud security over traditional is futureproofing. If your business grows from a single location to multi-site or a franchise, a traditional system requires you to deploy additional cameras and recorders to handle the security needs required for each site. For most business owners, scaling up is inevitable – but with an on-premise system, it can also be costly. 

Alibi Cloud VS eliminates virtually all of these costs, providing a convenient way to stay secure with ‘on-demand scalability.’ Because Alibi Cloud VS is stored off-site, adding more cameras to additional locations is simple. There aren’t any recorders or servers to manage as you’d find with a traditional system. All you have to do is add more cameras, so you’re only paying for what you need. As your business changes and grows, Alibi Cloud VS is right there with you – providing you the ability to scaling up or down based on your need.

What Our Customers Say

"I had the Alibi system installed several years ago. It has functioned flawlessly. The image quality is exellent both night and day and in all weather conditions. I particularly like the replay (which can be set at various speeds) and zoom functions of the system. Tech support from Crimefreeliving has been excellent. I have received quick responses to questions, and timely home visits — as when I changed IP carriers and my Alibi system needed to be reset. I have recommended Crimefreeliving to several friends."

Rich

"As a small business owner here in Chico we definitely saw the need for video surveillance. After expressing our needs and concerns Tim did an excellent job getting us set up with the set up with the appropriate equipment. He really took the time to address our concerns in a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable manner. I highly recommend Tim for all of your business and residential video surveillance needs."

Ron H., Owner/Auto Doctor

"I have to say I love having my security cameras at my home. Tim Truby did a wonderful job of installing the five cameras. He is very neat and cleaned everything up after the installation. He explained to me how to operate the monitor, my phone and IPad. However, I have had to call Tim because I'm not tech savvy and forget what he has told me. He usually just helps me over the phone and then all is well. I'm 80 years old and enjoy the comfort of knowing I have these security cameras."

Gloria

"Tim Truby designed and installed a 32 camera system for us here at the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District. We had received several other quotes from security system vendors, but Tim’s quote was the least expensive. Tim also installed the system quickly and has always been available when we needed him. We are very happy with our security camera system and we can highly recommend Tim Truby for all of your surveillance system needs."

D. Weseman, Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District

Crime Free Living updated our old video system with a new 16 Channel HD Alibi Video Security System. The old system had been added onto by different installers which resulted in a cabling mess. There were cables that worked and cables that went nowhere. It was a mess. Tim sorted it all out and installed cameras that are very clear. He also installed a monitor for our cashiers to watch hidden areas, a monitor to watch the entry door, and a monitor that allows employees to watch the outside parking and gas pump area. All work was done on time and very professional! Will always recommend Tim and Crime Free Living.

S. AM PM Chico Arco Station

"I had Tim install an Alibi Video Security System at my residence and a couple business locations. The remote view option is invaluable to absentee owners or anyone who travels a lot. The clarity and quality of the cameras have allowed for viewing employee theft. The evidence provided from the HD video cameras was fantastic! Tim was professional and provided extra value from his law enforcement background."

J. Folsom Arco Station

"Tim, I want to thank you again for doing such a fantastic job on installing a wireless IP security camera system at our dream home. The extra time that you took to hide wires, and install a clean, professional system is much appreciated. I still can’t believe the clarity, quality, and ease of use of this new system. I wished that I would have met you before our original inferior system was installed by another company. Now, whether I am at home, or monitoring the system from around the world, I know that my home and family are safe and sound."

John M.

"In April of 2017, my husband and I made a phone call to Crime Free Living that turned out to be a smart and wise decision. Amazingly, in just a few hours, Tim installed four Dome Security Cameras, weatherproof enclosures, and hooked up into our home a 23" Full HD Widescreen Security Monitor. Even more than his professional expertise was the time spent with us in making sure that this system was working correctly and properly installed on our phones so that anywhere in our travels we can monitor our new home in Magalia."

Tieka and Don S.

"I have been using Crime Free Living for the last couple years ar work and at home and I really recommend this product. Tim is a very good service provider. If he can't figure it out, he's got good tech support with the system that he offers."

Gary D.

"I have known Tim for over 10 years. To date, Time with Crime Free Living has installed two separate surveillance systems for my company. With each system, Tim has listened to my needs and custom dsigned surveillance systems for my specific needs and within my budget. The equipment used is always state of the art, the workmanship is top notch, and Tim is the example of trustworthy. I would recommend him for any job."
