Cloud era, traditional monitoring companies need**

The "cloud monitoring" in the security field refers to the technical concepts of cloud computing, cloud storage, data center, and business intelligence in the IT industry's development process. It optimizes the design and development of data center architectures and technologies for monitoring and other multimedia services. Security large-scale networking practices promoted the overall architecture to be robust, scalable, operational, and standardized, enabling more centralized video data and further data-information and informationization, making management and operations more efficient and simpler. It promoted the continuous evolution and development of the monitoring industry as a whole toward the era of IT cloud computing.

Cloud surveillance has become a hot issue in the security industry in recent years. Most of the industry has talked about the concept of smart cities, and they have invariably aligned the phase of security cloud and IT cloud computing video surveillance industry—virtualization of resources and cloud services, and security. The concept of cloud monitoring in the field is also constantly improving.

Cloud Monitoring Enterprise Breaks Five Major Technical Challenges

The appearance of cloud technology has changed the traditional security video surveillance mode and realized the network monitoring with the concept of "cloud". Cloud computing not only makes mass storage monitoring possible, but also makes massive video data mining a reality. Although cloud applications have many advantages in the field of security, the integration of IT and security represented by cloud still encounters a lot of adjustments.

1, bandwidth

The video surveillance system based on the cloud concept still faces no difficulties in bandwidth transmission. Cloud monitoring focuses on the transmission of massive amounts of video data over different networks. When the bandwidth is not enough, the cloud monitoring function cannot be played. Network bandwidth is your channel for accessing information from the Internet, and this channel is an important way to get video information from the “cloud” side. Of course, the normal download speed and monitoring upload speed are not the same.

As an example, a small retail store with 5 HD cameras needs 10 Mbps bandwidth to obtain a real-time HD video cloud. Obviously, ordinary households' ADSL can hardly satisfy this bandwidth. Public network applications can only be deployed after it is impracticable, but the price is high. It's amazing. Some security companies provide leasing services to provide online high-definition video to third-party and "hybrid cloud" models. Similarly, there are also small-resolution cloud storage solutions that help compensate for the lack of bandwidth.

2, video data management

Cloud storage allows video to use a lot of bandwidth, and the subsequent problem is the massive data storage problem. Most surveillance storage solutions envisage local storage. Still using the above monitoring solution as an example, 1TB is required to be stored in one month, and users spend more than a thousand dollars to purchase a 1TB hard disk. But you should also pay attention to its hidden costs, including data transmission costs, data redundancy costs, or the most basic real-time monitoring of electricity costs.

To solve the hidden costs, users have to reduce the resolution and storage requirements, and even worse, the video effects are reduced. Security cloud monitoring solutions make storage easier, and hybrid cloud solutions can store high-definition video remotely, which is far better than local storage.

3, monitoring delay

Cloud monitoring allows users to remotely enter a user name and password. The camera image is transcoded via the server and selects the optimal network service provider to ensure real-time monitoring and minimize the delay.

4, monitoring and management to do a good job of coordination

Internet-based cloud monitoring has also changed the way companies and users communicate. A company manages thousands of devices for different users, and some monitoring distances are far away. It takes a lot of effort to manage a lot of monitoring devices. In particular, cameras that are used in different fields must ensure that they record their normal operational records and that their reports on system performance become the core of cloud monitoring solutions.

In order to prevent these remote cameras, it is necessary to remotely upgrade these devices and eliminate other faults, which saves labor costs and makes monitoring and management more efficient.

5, cloud service allows users to choose more

Cloud storage-based solutions and service providers must face the cruel fact that if they can't win the trust of users and provide key business services and data, then users are likely to choose other home service providers. Without any hardware cost involved, it seems that all enterprises need to do is to ensure that surveillance cameras and encoders are in line with mainstream trends. Compression algorithms and transport protocols must refer to mainstream standards. In the integration of its own characteristics of business, to ensure that customers feel unique cloud monitoring services.
