Cloud-based Video Management Surveillance Systems offer cloud recording and cloud storage, better security (no open ports!), and are just more convenient (such as the ability to view all locations from one online portal) when compared to an on-premise surveillance solution.  But do all these benefits come with a heftier price tag?  Is the total cost of ownership (TCO) greater with a cloud-based surveillance system vs an on-premise NVR/DVR system?   Click here to view this recent article written by Eagle Eye Networks President Ken Francis, who explains the reasons for how cloud systems can actually offer a lower TCO than traditional security systems.
