    Why Physical Security and Cloud go together

    Recorded | On demand | Duration 40 minutes Register

    During this webinar, we will explore why Physical Security and Cloud go together.

    Good security systems require regular updates, system backups, and a proper level of technical expertise from the installer and the end-user. This is often overlooked in small-to-medium-sized security systems. Access Control as a Service (ACaaS) and Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS) offer similar advantages as using cloud-based Office, Production and Storage software - all with Better User Experience, Better Security, at a Better Price.

    3 Takeaways attendees can expect:

    • Recurring Revenue and why it matters
    • Thinking about a post-COVID-19 society
    • Live demo of ACT365 Cloud Access Control & Video system
