Read full descriptionHide full description
The IPGLAZ remote video surveillance application via the Internet is an excellent solution for accessing your video surveillance cameras. Your cameras and recordings from them will always be “at hand”. Anywhere in the world, from any device (tablet, smartphone). Video surveillance from IPGLAZ will allow you to: 1. Add cameras from any manufacturer that supports the H264 format to the IPGLAZ service (dozens of manufacturers support adding cameras to the service without a static IP address); 2. Get convenient access to live broadcasts from your video surveillance cameras absolutely free of charge, including in VR BOX mode; 3. Reliably store recordings from your cameras in the cloud, with an archive depth of up to 1 year or more; 4. Receive notifications about activity in the frame; 5. Edit the settings of your devices, directly from the application; 6. For quick and convenient access, place your cameras on the map; 7. Add cameras from the application to the cloud service. Advantages of cloud video surveillance from IPGLAZ The main advantage of IPGLAZ is the reliability of data storage and access to them, which is achieved by several factors: 1. Backup. All equipment, as well as all records coming from your cameras to our servers are backed up, which eliminates the possibility of data loss in the event of a computer or hard drive failure, or the loss of the equipment itself, in the event of illegal actions by third parties. 2. No need to monitor the operation and maintain your equipment If you want to organize video surveillance, but at the same time there is no way to monitor the performance of the server, disks and software around the clock, or you want to create a backup storage for an existing video surveillance system, then the best solution would be to purchase a subscription to the IPGLAZ cloud video surveillance service, possibly at the best rates in the world! 3. Minimum number of links With IPGLAZ, you do not need to purchase and maintain additional equipment. The number of links in the chain is minimal. All you need is a camera and Internet access. 4. Secure connection When accessing the service, all data, for security purposes, is transmitted over secure channels using encryption.
