The Best Security Technology Innovations of 2016

Boucherle’s Pick: OpenEye Web Services

Cloud-based video management is nothing new, although there are many different flavors to choose from. Some are purely software based, some are hardware and software based, and some have the flexibility to permit you to make the choice on how you want to design your solution.

OpenEye Web Services (OWS) falls into that last category. For campuses with multiple locations or even enterprise-wide international reach, the challenge has always been the ‘B’ word. Bandwidth is the single biggest limiter to high quality images to be delivered remotely, quickly and cost effectively in order to act on that video data. The next challenge is working with the IT departments. OWS has some cool automated IT tools and no software to manage on campus computers. This reduces IT workload and makes them smile.

Managing the users of a system is also a challenge. Granting and deleting recorder permissions and authority levels is simple and fast. Sharing password-protected video clips through the cloud easily and quickly is also amazingly simple to accomplish. “Heartbeat” software features prevent down time. openeye.net
