Videoloft, the cloud video surveillance platform, has partnered with Navtech Radar, the commercial radar solutions manufacturer, to add video verification to radar intrusion detection systems. Video verification adds a crucial step to Navtech Radar’s AdvanceGuard radar-based solutions, which can detect and track intruders within a 3km radius. AdvanceGuard radar-based solutions By integrating with Videoloft’s API, AdvanceGuard radar-based solutions can trigger cameras to record when intruders are detected, track their movements and save the recorded video events to the Videoloft cloud. Those video events are then easily retrieved through the AdvanceGuard solution allowing intruder alerts to be quickly verified.  Intelligent, real-time threat analysis Videoloft’s cloud-recorded video in AdvanceGuard helps us deliver a common customer request" “Bringing Videoloft’s cloud recorded video into AdvanceGuard helps us deliver a common customer request,” explains Simonas Mikuzis, AdvanceGuard Product Manager. Simonas Mikuzis adds, “Intelligent, real-time threat analysis is now possible through a combination of radar intruder detection and video verification.” Applications Applications span a variety of sectors, from airports and military sites to prisons and industrial manufacturing.

UK-based cloud video surveillance platform, Videoloft, is starting the year with a bang by announcing the first of many new features planned to launch in 2022. Videoloft customers can now connect a monitor to the Videoloft Cloud Adapter and watch their camera live feeds on a local display. Until now, wanting local live viewing was one of the only remaining reasons why security installers and users felt it was still necessary to retain on-premise NVRs or DVRs. But now, as well as remote camera viewing from the Videoloft iOS or Android apps or browser-based web viewer, live video feeds can be watched on a monitor over the local network. No latency, almost no bandwidth, just simple local live viewing! Examining key features Let’s examine the key features that allow the Videoloft Cloud Adapter to give traditional on-premise NVRs or DVRs a run for their money: Secure offsite storage for high-resolution video – Record up to 8MP (4K) video straight to the cloud. Protect against recorder malfunction, damage, or theft. Easy remote & local viewing – Watch live and recorded video remotely via the Videoloft mobile app or web viewer. Connect a monitor to view live streams on a local display. Stores video in case of network outage – If the internet connection drops, up to 7 days video can be locally stored on the Videoloft Cloud Adapter. Video is automatically uploaded to the cloud when the network is restored. One platform, as many users and locations as they need – Easily view cameras from multiple locations in one place and give access to others. No charge for additional users, and no limits on simultaneous users. Small bridging device The Videoloft Cloud Adapter, the small bridging device that connects compatible CCTV systems to the platform, instantly upgrades legacy security systems adding all of the above features and more. It is available in an 8 or 16-channel version and there is a 64-channel 19” rack-mounted solution for larger installations. The end user demand for cloud-only installations is rapidly growing, but of course, Videoloft can still run alongside a local recorder where required. “We’re definitely seeing increased adoption of cloud-only video solutions across a wide variety of sectors,” explains Laura Worrell, Videoloft’s Chief Operating Officer, adding “Cloud-only installations used to be limited to customers with a specific requirement to only store video offsite, but it’s now becoming the norm.”
