Get into VSAAS - The future of Security Systems and Security Cameras

VSaaS: What It Is & Benefits 

VSaaS is a short form that stands for “Video Surveillance as a Service”. This is mainly a cloud-based solution for retrieving, storing, and handling video footage. In an old-style surveillance system, all of the recording management and storage would be done via a physical on-site device like an NVR or a DVR. 

What distinguishes VSaaS from other old-style systems is that VSaaS removes the requirement for a physical storage device; the only bodily items that would require to be fixed are the IP cameras. In place of having to send video recording to a video recorder for storing it, every recording is sent straight to a secure cloud through an internet connection.  

However, one thing we all should know is that VSaaS is a service, meaning that you have to pay some sort of continuing fee (generally monthly) in exchange for retrieving the cloud and utilizing the offered features. 

The VSaaS market is witnessing growth and is projected to reach USD 13,584.3 million by 2030. 

Hassle-Free Installation & Maintenance 

If you have ever worked with an old surveillance system, you know the pain of the installation process which can be long and boring. The process might involve installing the software, cabling all of the cameras to the bodily storage device, physically configuring every camera, etc. 

Not only that, the system will also need regular maintenance and updates later on in the future. Utilizing a cloud-based system is way easier as less hardware is required so there is not much to deploy or configure. Furthermore, all updates are done mechanically via the cloud so there is no requirement to look for system updates from the maker. 

Lower Costs 

Several people are reluctant to utilize the VSaaS as they believe it is a better deal if you pay a onetime fee for an established surveillance system instead of recurrent monthly subscription fees. But in fact, a subscription to VSaaS will make you save more money over time. For all of the cameras, storage devices, and professional installation services, traditional systems require an extensive upfront investment. 

Not only that, they might need future upkeep and technical help which can have unpredictable prices. If you have a business with manifold systems in numerous places, such expenditures can add up rapidly. With the help of a cloud-based system, you will only be required to pay for the cameras and the cost of the VSaaS plan. 

This once-a-month fee is foreseeable and you can choose from different valued plans reliant on what you require. Besides that, the plan will comprise automatic upkeep and updates via the cloud so you won’t require to hire an expert to come on-site. 

Storage Flexibility 

A cloud-based system keeps recordings in an online cloud. Due to this, storage choices are tremendously flexible. If you need more storage, you can enlarge storage size by just renting for little more to your cloud worker every month. Clouds can grip an endless quantity of data so you never have to worry about running out of space.
