This ability to connect with diverse hardware is crucial when choosing a video surveillance solution. It grants you greater control, wider options, and potentially lower total costs in the long run.

Secure Video Footage in the Cloud.

Storing video footage in the cloud, like with Eclipse Net's Cloud Video and AI Analytics platform, offers an additional layer of security and protection for businesses and organizations compared to on-premise storage, for several reasons:

Enhanced Security: Cloud storage provides robust security measures like encryption and data redundancy, ensuring footage is protected from unauthorized access, tampering, or even physical damage to the camera itself. This is crucial, especially for critical evidence used in security measures.

Reduced Vulnerability: In contrast, on-premise storage, like Verkada's reliance on camera-based storage, leaves footage vulnerable to theft or destruction alongside the camera.

Accessibility and Scalability: Cloud storage allows for remote access to footage from any authorized device, regardless of location. It also offers easier scalability, allowing you to increase storage capacity as needed without additional hardware investments.

Here's how Eclipse Net addresses these concerns:

• It stores all video recordings and performs analysis entirely in the cloud, ensuring footage remains secure even if the camera is compromised.
• 
  
• Unlike Verkada's limited cloud storage of lower resolution clips, Eclipse Net offers a full-fledged and scalable cloud solution.

Overall, choosing a cloud-based video surveillance system like Eclipse Net provides greater security, accessibility, and scalability compared to on-premise options. This is particularly important for businesses and organizations that rely heavily on video surveillance for security purposes.

Video Retention on Demand. 

Eclipse Net's Cloud Video and AI Analytics platform empowers you with on-demand video retention, offering several advantages:

Is the Solution Secure?

Cybersecurity is paramount for any security video solution. Robust security measures are crucial throughout the entire system's infrastructure, encompassing:

• Web and mobile user interfaces
• Admin panel
• APIs
• On-premise hardware and its user interface
• 
  

Cameras, in particular, represent a vulnerable point of entry for remote attacks on a network.

Eclipse Net addresses these concerns comprehensively:

• Enhanced Security: Unlike Verkada, which exposes cameras to the internet, Eclipse Net utilizes PUSH technology. This secure method allows cameras and NVRs to connect directly to the cloud limiting exploitation, significantly reducing the attack surface.
• 
  
• Best-in-Class Cloud Security: Our platform leverages the industry-leading AWS cybersecurity measures to ensure comprehensive security throughout.
• 
  
• Multi-Tenant Security Framework: Built with security as a top priority, our platform employs a serverless architecture, independent services, and a separation of concerns. This minimizes attack points and prevents unauthorized access.
• 
  
• Data Segregation: We go a step further by ensuring top-level integrators cannot access customer accounts within their scope, further bolstering security.

In contrast, Verkada has faced vulnerabilities in the past:

• Data Breach: A 2021 hack exposed client data, raising concerns about privacy and compliance.
• Backdoor Superuser: A reported incident further highlighted security flaws. While Verkada implemented two-factor authentication, its reliance on a centralized administration system remains a potential target.

Choosing a solution like Eclipse Net, with its robust security focus, ensures your data is protected against cyber threats, offering peace of mind for sensitive environments like businesses and government facilities.
