Smartvue’s global video surveillance and IoT video cloud platform is supported today in 140 countries and serves customers such as telcos, cable companies, security firms, storage providers, device manufacturers, and other organisations. The platform supports IoT technologies that enable secure video in devices to connect with the cloud.
