Cloud adoption in video security is accelerating, but few organizations can move everything to the cloud at once. In this webcast, a Milestone Systems expert explains how a hybrid approach, combining Arcules cloud-native VMS with XProtect on-premise VMS, lets you deploy the right architecture at each site while managing everything from a single SOC.
The session covers how Arcules delivers scalable, secure cloud video management with no inbound ports, no VPNs, and automatic updates. It also walks through three cloud deployment models, Cloud Gateway, Edge Gateway, and Camera-to-Cloud, and shows how they can be mixed across sites. You'll see how the Arcules plugin brings remote cloud sites, including live video and alarms, directly into XProtect Smart Client. The presenter explains why a hybrid approach reduces complexity, lowers hardware and maintenance costs, and speeds up new site rollouts. The webcast closes with real-world examples from healthcare, education, and retail.
