Vodafone has launched Connected Spaces Vision – IoT smart surveillance that offers live video-over-mobile network on an unlimited data plan (subject to fair usage policy) for business customers.
Connected Spaces Vision is designed to overcome challenges faced by existing CCTV infrastructure, such as bandwidth limitations, cost, and security concerns of traditional wireless CCTV by providing secure cloud storage and real-time alerts (people and vehicle detection) whilst reducing data transmission costs.
Vodafone Business Connected Spaces Vision has been developed in partnership with Digital Barriers. The system uses Digital Barriers’ AI-based video codec that reduces bandwidth requirements by up to 90% operating over Vodafone’s IoT network. The solution works with standard IP cameras, enabling them with analytics and means customers don’t need to rip and replace. Ideally suited to businesses who have remote, mobile and temporary operations, where conventional wired CCTV cannot be deployed easily and/or cost effectively.
Andy May, Head of Products & Services, Vodafone Business said: “The market for CCTV in the UK continues grow and with Vodafone Connected Spaces Vision we want to help businesses tackle the biggest obstacles to managing their CCTV estate with reliable connectivity, real-time intelligence, and predictable costs. Utilising Vodafone’s leading IoT network and Digital Barrier’s patented compression technology will give customers real-time alerts where and when it matters most.”
