Press release: NW Security becomes Integrator Partner for Arcules as ‘Cloud CCTV’ sees increased adoption

NW Security becomes Integrator Partner for Arcules as ‘Cloud CCTV’ sees increased adoption in the UK

Leading IP video surveillance integrator NW Security has signed a partnership agreement with the leading unified, intelligent security-as-a-service solutions provider Arcules.

The Arcules Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS) platform provides organisations with an underlying cloud infrastructure which offers features such as compatibility between sites, low video latency, data encryption, redundancy, streamlined maintenance, automatic firmware updates and easy onboarding, all built on the Google Cloud Platform.

Google Cloud offers several major advantages for those exploring migrating their CCTV system into the Cloud. Firstly, Google has invested in building its own datacentres around Europe which can ensure new data privacy requirements under EU Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are met, while simultaneously minimising data latency to a few microseconds – something that is crucial in live monitoring of CCTV for example.

Google Cloud also offers considerable strength in harnessing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT). This capability can help users match CCTV camera data with data from other connected sensors to add richness to users’ understanding of incidents.

This, in turn, helps firms to become more proactive and predictive in their security operations. It also makes it easier to extract business intelligence which can be put to work to find efficiencies and improve profitability for businesses.

Arcules offers a fully open platform including support for over 3,000 IP camera models today. This enables customers to migrate their existing surveillance cameras to an Arcules Cloud account without the need to buy new cameras.

Arcules, which was spun out of Milestone Systems three years ago, also benefits from tight integration with the Video Management Software (VMS) market leader. This allows Milestone XProtect customers to make smaller remote sites live quickly and with minimal IT resources and downtime using the award-winning Arcules-XProtect Hybrid VMS Solution. Arcules remains a Canon Group company together with both Milestone and Axis.

Frank Crouwel, Managing Director of NW Security, commented:

“We are right on the cusp of an acceleration in the migration of CCTV systems into the cloud. Over two thirds (71 percent) of England-based medium and large-sized firms in the private sector and 43 percent of public sector organisations we surveyed in September are planning to migrate CCTV systems into the cloud within the next 12 months.

“It’s important to have well-developed services for helping firms to migrate CCTV into the cloud. Arcules now offers the right combination of highly secure, yet open and flexible cloud CCTV platform with easy onboarding paths for customers. We are very pleased to be Arcules’ first integrator partner for the UK.”

Michael Hyglid, Sales Director EMEA, said:

“NW Security is set to be a key partner for us in the UK. Unusually, it has a broad base of customers who prefer to buy equipment direct, often via its specialist IP CCTV online store Networkwebcams.co.uk. NW Security then helps many of these companies to integrate and configure this equipment, so it works optimally.

“They also understand that some customers are likely to favour buying surveillance capabilities via OPEX rather than incurring considerable CAPEX which is where Arcules has a lot to offer. I’ve also been impressed by their knowledge of other cloud providers.
“They understood right away that we are not just a software solution that’s been ported into the cloud but are a 100 per cent ‘cloud first’ platform built on leading cloud tools and principles. They also understand where we are today and the strength of our technology roadmap.”

Notes:
1. These findings are from a piece on market research which NW Security commissioned nationally-respected market research firm Opinium to execute earlier this year. An online questionnaire was completed by 101 IT decision-makers of firms with more than 50 employees based in England, between 8th and 14th September 2020. Only firms with CCTV systems were invited to complete the survey. Respondents were heavily-weighted towards senior IT decision-makers: 29 percent were IT Managers, 33 percent IT directors, 10 percent CTOs, eight percent CIOs and seven percent Operations Directors. The balance were Operations Managers or equivalent.
