VSaaS Cloud Recording Service
Move beyond local storage limits for simpler, more secure video management
Migrate CCTV recording to the cloud, flexibly adjust retention days and storage capacity, support real-time remote inspection across sites, and reduce hardware purchase and IT maintenance costs.
Traditional on-site recording depends on local NVRs and hard disks. Capacity is fixed, maintenance costs are high, and footage is more likely to be interrupted or lost if equipment fails or the site loses power.
VSaaS (Video Surveillance as a Service) moves recording from local storage to a cloud platform. This helps organisations reduce hardware purchases and ongoing IT maintenance. Retention days and capacity can be adjusted as needed, and a centralised platform supports real-time remote inspection across multiple sites.
With encrypted transmission, data backup and access control, video data is better protected. Schools, businesses, construction sites, care homes and multi-site organisations can manage CCTV systems in a simpler and more efficient way.
What is VSaaS?
VSaaS means Video Surveillance as a Service: camera footage can be uploaded to the cloud for recording, archiving, playback and access control, without relying solely on an on-site NVR/DVR. It is suitable for organisations that need remote viewing, centralised multi-site management, flexible storage, or lower risk from local hardware failure.
Service Highlights
Cloud storage, remote inspection and encrypted backup for more efficient video management
Cloud recording beyond local hard-disk limits
Footage is stored in the cloud, reducing the need for on-site recorders, disk capacity and regular replacements. Even if on-site equipment fails, the cloud archive can serve as backup and lower the risk of lost recordings.
Flexible retention days and storage capacity
Retention can be set to 7, 30, 90 days or longer, based on site risk, compliance needs or budget. When operations expand, there is no need to replace a large storage system at once — capacity can be upgraded as required.
Real-time remote inspection across sites
Log in from a phone or computer on a centralised platform to view live video and playback from multiple sites. Suitable for chain stores, multi-campus schools, multiple construction sites, or headquarters that need unified management.
Encrypted transmission and data backup
Video transmission uses encryption and backup mechanisms to reduce data leakage and single-point failure risks, giving management greater confidence when handling sensitive site footage.
Lower hardware cost and IT maintenance
There is no need to deploy a large recorder and complex backend maintenance at every site. IT or admin teams can focus on access control and daily inspection instead of hard-disk health checks and recorder repairs.
Compatible with existing CCTV systems
In most cases, existing cameras can be assessed for cloud connection. The service can also be planned together with 24-hour monitoring, AI video analytics, temporary event rental, and maintenance support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace all cameras for VSaaS?
Not necessarily. We first assess whether existing equipment can connect to the cloud. Some older systems may need selected camera or network upgrades.
Is cloud recording secure?
Transmission is encrypted, with access control and backup mechanisms. Actual security also depends on account management, network conditions and retention policy.
Can only some cameras be moved to the cloud?
Yes. High-risk areas, entrances or cameras that need remote inspection can go to the cloud first, while other cameras stay on local recording.
Can retention days be changed later?
Yes. This is one of the advantages of cloud recording. Retention period and capacity can be adjusted according to budget or compliance needs.
Can it be used without a stable network?
Cloud recording depends on network upload. For sites with unstable internet, we can assess local recording plus cloud backup, or improve network conditions first.
