     Detailed software features 

Expanding your surveillance system.  Reaching your maximum capacity in a typical (local) surveillance system can result in limited expansion of cameras, limited support for new IP cameras and smart phones and expensive installation and maintenance fees.  Our hosted camera system gives you the power to increase your cloud surveillance system to support unlimited cameras, unlimited storage and unlimited users with no geographical limitation. 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Complete isolation between virtual environments. Our surveillance security infrastructure ensures complete isolation of cameras, storage and other resources between surveillance environments, resulting in the most robust and equally redundant surveillance solution to meet your business needs.

High availability processing & storage. Cloud surveillance is comprised of highly available resources on both computing and disk infrastructures. Computing resources are implemented within a highly available cluster while the disk environment is protected in a highly available SAN.
