As a recent report by IMS Research states, cloud-based video surveillance market could exceed $1 billion in 2012. However, pricing continues to be a major hindrance.
ControlByNet announced its new white label package for integrators providing them ControlByNet’s hosted video solution starting at $10 per camera per month. The new pricing offers integrators the ability to immediately offer a cloud-based or hosted video surveillance option to small businesses and opportunity to greatly increase recurring revenue.
CBN’s i-flashback REMOTE provides web-based controls for hosting providers to manage multiple servers, users and accounts. The solution allows users to manage hundreds of remote cameras from a single browser; including Internet Explorer, Firefox, as well as the growing number of connected devices including Windows Mobile, iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and Android.
Benefits to the integrator for the new white label offering include:
- Branding – Integrators can position their branding front-and-center to the customer.
- Recurring Revenue Stream – Integrators now realise recurring revenue, where in the past it was a sell-and-forget solution.
- Additional Opportunities – A hosted solution keeps integrators closer to their customers, putting them first in line for new opportunities from the customer for additional services.
- Secure Video – CBN’s cloud video solution is not a ‘store and forward’ service where cameras can disappear along with the evidence. When an event happens it is immediately recorded ay the datacenter and the customer is alerted.
