Surveillance and Security Deployment Challenges
MSPs working in the surveillance and security vertical must contend with a dizzying array of challenges. Managing security cameras brings location and environmental challenges, like extreme weather and temperature fluctuations. Solutions may need to be deployed across multiple geographic locations. Real-time sharing of surveillance information is often expected, but that requires high bandwidth. Being able to provide a high level of data security is paramount, to ensure information remains private. Maintaining constant connectivity is particularly vital in this space as well, where downtime can lead to devastating consequences.
These challenges are layered atop those present in the MSP world more generally. MSPs must solve for these challenges while maintaining profitability and growth. Fortunately, FrontierUS has an experienced, deeply knowledgeable team of experts on hand to provide complete solutions that address all these challenges.
Reliable Remote Access
If a customer is looking for reliable remote access for an on-premises camera or a camera in a vehicle with local storage, BR1 Pro 5G or a BR1 Mini are likely the best choices. These types of applications require 24/7 reliability. These devices are a good fit for a lot of vehicle and home office applications, where there is local storage of video or other data. If live streaming or always-on access to live camera footage aren’t a necessity, these devices provide a cost-effective complete solution.
A prime example would be a police vehicle. On the road, the device can always be accessed and managed. In addition, there is constant monitoring to ensure it is active and functioning correctly. Generally, there isn’t a need for consistent access to the data being gathered. Instead, there is local data storage in the vehicle. The video is offloaded at headquarters in their network where there is more accessibility to it. This solution isn’t limited to vehicles. It could be used for a security solution like the gate at the front entrance of a facility and in many other scenarios, both mobile and fixed.
Seamless Viewing and Management
Seamless viewing and management require better connectivity. The BR1 Pro 5G, UBR Plus, or Balance 20X can satisfy customers that require both. In these situations, it is not sufficient to simply ensure that the device is always functioning. For example, a dead zone for a carrier or the potential failure of one connection may need to be addressed. Here, it becomes necessary to consider incorporating multiple connections. That connection may be a wired line failing over to a cellular connection, two cellular connections for mobile applications on a road with dead spots, or a satellite option.
At this level of connectivity, viewing live video footage is required. A live high-definition video stream may not be necessary. However, seamlessness and accessibility are needed. With these devices, there is protection when the primary connection fails or is not good enough. It is not possible to make bandwidth magically appear, so a second connection is often needed. These devices make that possible.
Multi-camera or Full HD/4K Viewing and Management
At this level, technical requirements for bandwidth and reliability ramp up quickly. This level of connectivity begins to take full advantage of Peplink’s capabilities and portfolio of devices. Peplink’s software capabilities also become a point of focus. Multiple cameras can be powered by a device locally. High-definition streaming is possible, anytime, anywhere. These solutions are perfect for utility companies with higher value assets monitored by multiple cameras. They are also ideal for live events and big construction sites.
Peplink outshines other brands with the capabilities the software provides with these higher-end devices. Two 5G connections can be bonded together and make one camera stream faster and higher quality. If one carrier goes down, the connection continues uninterrupted. Session persistence, Bandwidth Bonding, and WAN Smoothing are just a few of the key differentiators. Peplink’s SpeedFusion technology delivers truly unbreakable connectivity.
