An All-in-One Edge Camera Might be Just the Thing for You
Posted by Mark Espenschied on Nov 06, 2018 in Mark Espenschied, Technology, Thought Leadership
| There are several applications where an edge camera might be just the solution for your need. |
|
| When I say edge, I am talking about a robust, high-resolution 4MP or 5MP IP camera with a real VMS onboard (DW Spectrum®) and storage pre-installed in the form of a high-capacity SD card. |
|
| I am talking about an all-in-one solution. We call our models CaaS™ for "Camera as a Server" — no separate server is required. |
|
| These marvels are everything you need — right out of the box — including the recording license (never a charge for software upgrades). |
|
| So what makes CaaS™ different than the little boxy camera gizmos you find online? |
|
| Professional-grade hardware, services and support. DW Spectrum® IPVMS. DW Spectrum® is unlike any VMS you have ever tried. It was conceived to be different from the get go. It is unbelievably powerful and surprisingly easy to use. |
|
That’s what you get with CaaS™, and we have made it very, very simple:
|
 |
Here are three of many ways an edge camera might work for you:
|
|
| A Small Business with Multiple Locations |
|
| If you are a small business owner, odds are that you have invested your whole life into your enterprise. It might make sense to secure your most valuable assets with professional surveillance. |
|
| Maybe you are a florist, a restaurateur, own beauty salons, barber shops or convenience stores. Maybe you are a doctor or medical group with multiple offices. |
|
| A CaaS™ surveillance system can include one to 12 CaaS™ cameras (per location). You can easily view and manage all your systems (locations) through our DW® Cloud™ online portal, the DW Spectrum® Mobile app or a DW Spectrum® client on a PC or Mac®. |
 |
| A Separate Surveillance System |
|
| Maybe your business is such that you need a surveillance system to cover a certain area apart from your larger surveillance system. Let’s say, for example, you need separate systems for your server rooms. CaaS™ is a great option for you to consider. |
 |
| Homeowners Associations |
|
| Maybe your residents don’t want cameras all around the property, but they want to know who is coming and going through the guard gates. A CaaS™ LPR camera can capture the plates at each entrance, a CaaS™ dome camera can provide a detailed view of who the guard is talking to and a CaaS™ fisheye camera gives a 360° bird’s eye view of each entrance. Such a system is easily installed at each gate and all systems are easily managed through DW® Cloud™. |
 |
| As the boss says, “Easy peasy.” |
