Video surveillance as a service, or VSaaS for short, refers to video surveillance services that are managed by a third party and that are remotely accessible for end-users. With this model, businesses and other clients are able to make use of top of the range applications and technology, which are offered by a service provider and hosted in the cloud.
The concept has been growing in popularity for years, in part because it means businesses do not need to store security camera footage on-site, while they can also pass on some of the responsibility for compliance with GDPR and other legislation to VSaaS providers. However, the ability to access data from anywhere is also a major part of the appeal.
With the rollout of 5G communications technology, this accessibility component is expected to move to the next level. In this article, we take a closer look at how 5G is set to impact VSaaS in the months and years to come.
