Cloudview brings CCTV into the digital age

According to UK company Cloudview, its Cloudview VSaaS (video surveillance as a service) solution harnesses current technology to provide a security system to remotely monitor people. Comprising a small yet highly intelligent visual network adapter (VNA) connected to the company’s cloud-based visual network system (VNS), Cloudview is a scalable, user-friendly and affordable platform.

RSSAccording to UK company 7661 Cloudview, its Cloudview VSaaS (video surveillance as a service) solution harnesses current technology to provide a security system to remotely monitor people.

Comprising a small yet highly intelligent visual network adapter (VNA) connected to the company’s cloud-based visual network system (VNS), Cloudview is a scalable, user-friendly and affordable platform. It can be managed and accessed from a browser using a notebook, tablet or smartphone, anywhere in the world, to extend surveillance systems to: cope with remote sites; add remote monitoring and alerting to an existing CCTV system; protect video footage from tampering and/or potential loss; add visual verification to intruder alarm systems; enable analogue CCTV customers to upgrade to IP technology at their own pace; and minimise the cost of upgrading to IP surveillance by reusing existing analogue cameras.Cloudview’s VNA creates a unique internet connection between each CCTV camera and the user’s protected account on Cloudview’s cloud-based management system.  Regardless of where the cameras are located, they can securely transmit encrypted footage to, and store it on, the Cloudview platform.

Cloudview firmware is automatically upgraded over the internet, with new releases automatically distributed and applied to both fix problems and deliver new features.

    Workzone safety can be economically viable
    David Crawford looks how workzone safety can be ‘economically viable’. Highway maintenance is one of the most dangerous construction industry occupations in Europe. Research from The Netherlands on fatal crashes indicates that the risk facing road workzone operatives is ‘significantly higher’ than that for the general construction workforce. A survey carried out by the Highways Agency, which runs the UK’s motorway and trunk road network, has suggested that 20% of road workers have suffered injuries from pa

    Sharper images with HD video surveillance
    Many ITS and video surveillance systems are now migrating to High Definition (HD), something which has traditionally required high-resolution IP cameras and a complete system architecture overhaul. Euresys now provides a less expensive and seamless upgrade path with the Picolo.net HD4. “This allows users to connect four HD-SDI/HDcctv cameras through at least 100m of coaxial cable to a video surveillance IP network. It’s easy to integrate into video surveillance systems as it features an ONVIF Profile S-comp

    Smart cameras offer real-time alerts
    Intelligent traffic cameras open up a host of possibilities for traffic planners and controllers alike. If traffic management centres (TMCs) around the world are to cope with the increasing demands of growing traffic flows while maintaining or improving transport safety and efficiency, then video monitoring will have to be supplemented by automated warnings of incidents or deviations. According to Patrik Anderson, business development director at Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications, it is no

    New technologies enable increased collaboration, cooperation
    The continued expansion of IP camera networks increases the availability of useful information. At the same time, the opportunity exists to increase inter-agency collaboration. This makes information management all the more necessary in the control room environment. But the transportation sector could do a lot to help itself by gaining a better idea up front of what and how it wants to do things, says Electrosonic's Karl Johnson.
