Managed Video Surveillance is a phrase frequently used to describe Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS). Utilized by a growing number of enterprises, managed VSaaS is one of the most cost efficient video security solutions available that eliminates risks. With this service, your video surveillance system is fully managed by us. All maintenance and replacement costs are covered. This avoids any unexpected costs and frees up staff to focus on other issues.

Yes, Resolute Partners can design, install, and maintain a custom video surveillance network or upgrade an existing system using cameras and network hardware and software from one of our partners. Managing a new or upgraded video security network can consist of applying software updates, physical inspections, equipment repairs, user management and more.

We will design your video surveillance system according to your individual needs using your preferred products from one of our partners. The only requirement is a suitable internet connection be provided with a static IP address.

It is possible, but not as easy. Since we didn’t design or install the system, we don’t know what kind of job the installers did. That being said, we can provide a fixed price quote for the network and security monitoring and we can propose a way to tighten up the hardware replacement costs that are included in our management services. If your new video security system was installed using hardware and/or software obtained from any company banned by the Blacklist Clause (Hikvision, Dahua, Megvii, SenseTime, Yitu Technologies, etc.), Resolute Partners will not manage it.

This is a challenging question and will require you to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each. Today’s IP Cameras run on CAT5e or CAT6 while older analog cameras use a coax cable and a separate power cable. The cost of removing and installing new cabling can be significant though and is often the largest factor of a project. The advantages of the IP system are increased image quality, increased coverage from wide or Multi-lens and digital zoom. The disadvantage is the upfront cost and it is more complex to manage.
