The three main benefits
On-Site Systems
On-premise CCTV systems are exactly as they sound. Servers and data are stored entirely in-house. These systems use backups and disaster recovery software to extract the data when you need it during a network failure. They are available with wired and wireless options, and you can view the live and archived footage either through your local PC or a mobile device.
- Unlimited customisation: Because the servers and network are all local and specific to you, they can be fully customised, regardless of how niche your requirements may be
- Compliance: Companies with strict data compliance laws tend to prefer storing their data on site, rather than in the cloud. This is especially important in healthcare, as well as legal and financial settings
- Suits in-house IT teams: If you have an internal IT team, having your servers and network in-house may save money in the long run on support and maintenance contracts
