Technology company Ocucon has developed a lighter version of their VSaaS product, Cloud by Ocucon, allowing retailers to now benefit from innovative cloud technology for a select number of cameras. Cirrus Cloud by Ocucon is a lightweight, highly flexible version of Cloud by Ocucon. It will have all the features of its bigger brother but, in response to retailer demand, it has been optimised to work in a modular fashion for up to eight cameras per store.

In-store surveillance and storage

Research conducted by the company found that 99% of incidents were caught by just a third of all cameras in a typical retail outlet. This means that on average just eight cameras caught the ‘sweet spot’ of incidents. Cirrus Cloud by Ocucon provides an in-store surveillance and storage service in HD, captured continuously over a 24/7 period, in the cloud for up to eight cameras per store.

We see this as an opportunity to introduce our ground-breaking technology to an increased variety of clients"

The service will also provide an incident and case management reporting tool that will enable easy access, analysis and retrieval of incidents. Gary Trotter, Co-Founder of Ocucon said: “We are always listening to feedback from our clients and we realised that by re-investing in new technology, we could offer this exciting new product to suit a wider range of retailers and their needs."

Easy access surveillance storage

"Cirrus Cloud works in a modular fashion, so that we can ensure that the footage from those ‘sweet spot’ cameras can be easily stored, analysed and retrieved. We see this as an opportunity to introduce our ground-breaking technology to an increased variety of clients both on a national and international scale.”

Ocucon developed Cloud by Ocucon, their unlimited VSaaS system to address the need for easy access surveillance storage, to avoid fraudulent cases of slips, trips and falls – currently estimated to cost retailers £800m a year. The technology removes physical limitations on the amount of surveillance footage an organisation can save. Delivering a powerful, cloud-based storage and retrieval platform, Ocucon provides the facility to store, analyse and retrieve unlimited amounts of video surveillance footage from within the Ocucon portal.
