Case Studies in Cloud Base Video Surveillance

Working as an engineer is often an isolated and lonely profession. Most of the day is working with diligent focus on a particular problem you are trying to solve. No matter the industry, the engineering team is often once removed from the actual customers of the product you are building.

I work for Eagle Eye Networks, building a new vision for video surveillance. Eagle Eye Networks offers a cloud based video surveillance system designed for enterprise customers. The field seems colorful and exciting. We are managing video feeds for thousands of customers world wide. By large contrast, as engineers, we are a bit isolated from this live world of feeds we are managing.

Everyone at Eagle Eye Networks is bound by a strict policy of not accessing customer feeds unless it’s in response to resolving an issue on behalf of a customer. So for the most part, the only time we actually get to see what’s happening in the outside world is when helping our support team troubleshoot an issue. Our world as engineers is watching and working with large volumes of ascii all day.. so much ascii.

As as engineer, it’s a morale boost to see the end result of what we do and how we are impacting real world customers. To that end, I often visit our own www.eagleeyenetworks.com to get a glimpse of what we’ve accomplished. I was thrilled the other day to see a new section on our site that showcased some of the installations as case studies and the motivation and problems our customers are solving with Eagle Eye Networks Cloud Surveillance System.

Some of my favorite case studies

“The decision to use Eagle Eye Cloud Security Camera VMS for every property was a no brainer. Eagle Eye allows us to scale very rapidly, it’s price is competitive, the user interface is easy to manage, and it never goes down. We couldn’t be happier with the Eagle Eye solution.”

“We love the convenience of the Eagle Eye Networks system. One evening, after our salons were closed, a motion notification was sent to my phone. Within a few minutes, I located the footage and found someone throwing a rock through our salon window. I was able to download the clip and sent it to the police without ever leaving my home.”

This auto service and repair shop was looking for a video solution that would allow them to keep an eye on vehicles being serviced, as well as on their expensive equipment. They also wanted a complete video history of all activity in their shop and be able to access it for at least a 2 month period.

This cannabis dispensary was looking to comply with state regulations which require them to have a functioning 24/7 surveillance system, along with other various stipulations.

The Eagle Eye Security Camera VMS provides an accessible solution where cameras can be easily shared with pet owners during business hours as well as on their mobile devices while they are away on vacation.

A fast food restaurant, specializing in chicken, had an existing analog system set up in the restaurant. It was a basic, cheap, 16-camera system- so they were looking for an upgrade where they could keep their existing analog cameras while adding features such as remote management.
