As an enabling technology for physical security, cloud connectivity can improve on-demand availability to software and data. For video surveillance, the cloud can reduce storage and maintenance costs with ready access to live camera feeds and recorded video. In electronic access control deployments, leveraging the cloud can bring flexibility to remote issuance and enable mobile credentials for keyless entry at the edge.
With cloud-based access control, organizations can expand access with edge-controlled doors and smartphone apps for user access.
