Upgrade your existing CCTV system. Learn how our VSaaS smart gateway adds powerful AI, cloud access, and 24/7 expert monitoring to your current cameras.
Unlock the power of your existing cameras. This guide details how our VSaaS solution uses a smart gateway to add powerful AI intelligence, secure cloud access, and our "best-of-the-best" 24/7 human expert monitoring to your current CCTV system—without the high cost of a full replacement.
Many businesses are stuck with "dumb" CCTV systems. These systems are reactive, only providing footage *after* a crime. The cost to "rip and replace" this hardware is prohibitively expensive, leaving assets vulnerable. Secure Defence's Video Security as a Service (VSaaS) is the bridge to modern, proactive security.
This guide outlines our unique solution: we install a **smart gateway** on-premise that connects to your *existing* ONVIF-compliant cameras. This single device instantly adds powerful AI analytics, secure cloud storage, and mobile access. More importantly, it integrates your site with our 24/7 Live Video Monitoring service. This is the **best-of-the-best synergy of AI and human expertise**: AI detects threats, and our human agents intervene in real-time. It's the most cost-effective path to transforming your old system into a proactive security weapon.
Legacy CCTV systems are a liability. They lack intelligence, are difficult to access, and fail to prevent crime. But the cost of replacing an entire system of cameras and wiring is often too high for businesses to justify.
We provide the best-of-the-best solution by integrating our advanced intelligence with your existing hardware. We provide the "brains" (AI and Cloud) and the "expertise" (Monitoring Agents) to make your cameras "smart."
Our VSaaS smart gateway is the "brains" we add to your system. This on-premise device connects to your network, auto-discovers your existing cameras, and instantly applies AI-powered analytics, cloud storage, and intelligent filtering. Your "dumb" cameras become smart overnight.
Once your cameras are intelligent, they become a tool for our expert team. The gateway sends AI-verified alerts to our 24/7 monitoring center. Our agents view your live footage, deploy live audio deterrents, and dispatch law enforcement. This human judgment turns your old system into a *proactive* solution.
Our VSaaS platform is built on a foundation of open, compatible, and secure technology to work with what you already own, maximizing your original investment.
This is the heart of the upgrade. It's a small, on-premise device our technicians install that auto-discovers and connects to your existing ONVIF-compliant cameras (Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, etc.). It applies AI analytics locally and then securely transmits video and alerts to the cloud, saving bandwidth and improving speed.
All your cameras, from all your sites, are brought into one user-friendly platform. Access your live and recorded video from anywhere with our powerful mobile and web app. No more clunky, on-site NVR interfaces, VPNs, or open ports. Just secure, simple, reliable access.
We've streamlined the upgrade process to be fast, non-disruptive, and highly effective, transforming your old system in a matter of hours.
Our expert technician arrives on-site and installs the smart gateway, connecting it to your existing network. The gateway immediately scans and discovers all ONVIF-compliant cameras, establishing a secure connection without needing to re-cable or replace any of your existing hardware.
From our cloud platform, we apply AI analytics to each camera, drawing virtual tripwires and loitering zones. We configure recording schedules and permissions, then link your site to our 24/7 monitoring station. Your entire system is now intelligent and proactively monitored.
Unlock a wealth of modern security features without the cost and disruption of replacing your entire camera system.
Avoid the five- or six-figure capital expense of a "rip and replace." Our VSaaS solution is an operational expense that enhances your existing assets.
Instantly add AI-powered analytics like human, vehicle, and loitering detection to every camera, reducing false alarms by over 99%.
This is the most crucial benefit. Your system can now be connected to our "AI + Human" live monitoring service for proactive crime prevention.
Ditch your failing on-site NVR. Store footage securely in the cloud, protected from theft, fire, and hardware failure. Access encrypted recordings from anywhere.
Access live and recorded video from any camera, at any site, all from a single, easy-to-use mobile or web application. No more complex VPNs or port forwarding.
Our system health check service constantly monitors your gateway and camera connectivity. We'll know if a camera goes offline *before* you do.
It's not just about the technology; it's about the expert service that makes it powerful. We don't just sell you cloud access; we deliver a complete, managed security solution.
We are the best-of-the-best. We don't just give you an app; we integrate your cameras with our 24/7 expert monitoring team. AI filters, our agents act.
