Partner Program FAQs
Overview
How does Videoloft work?
Videoloft connects your customer’s compatible security system to the cloud using a Cloud Adapter or Virtual Cloud Adapter. Our physical Cloud Adapter is a small bridging device, while the Virtual Cloud Adapter runs on a suitable Windows or Linux machine. Once your chosen adapter is running on the same network as the cameras, you can complete the setup through the Videoloft web VMS or app.
Once the setup is complete, your customers will be able to view their camera live stream and recorded video events through the Videoloft app and website. Recorded video events are saved in the Videoloft cloud for the duration of your cloud recording plan.
Do I have to meet certain criteria to become a partner?
Anyone who currently sells or installs compatible video surveillance systems can join our partner program!
Registering takes under 2 minutes and it’s completely free.
Can I remove my customer's local DVR/NVR completely?
Yes. With compatible IP cameras and either a Cloud Adapter or Virtual Cloud Adapter, you can record directly to the cloud without a local DVR or NVR.
What brands of security systems is Videoloft compatible with?
We’re compatible with most leading camera manufacturers including Hikvision, Dahua, Vivotek, Lorex, Uniview … as well as hundreds more via ONVIF. Visit our compatibility page for further information.
What price should I charge my customers?
We don’t have a recommended retail price. Our partners set their own end customer price to determine the margin they make. Our global network of partners charge a wide variety of prices to their end customers, but do contact us if you’d like advice on a specific installation. To see our trade list prices please register as a partner.
Do I have to use a Cloud Adapter?
You’ll need either a physical Cloud Adapter or our free Virtual Cloud Adapter software to connect your customer’s security system to the cloud. If you already have a suitable Windows or Linux machine on site, the Virtual Cloud Adapter lets you use that hardware.
Installation
What ports does Videoloft use? Do I need to do any port-forwarding to setup Videoloft cloud recording?
No port forwarding is required to setup Videoloft cloud recording. Our software uses port 443 for motion event transmission over encrypted HTTPS, and port 554 for live transmission over encrypted RTSP. Custom ports can be used with Videoloft, but please ensure you re-run the installation from the Videoloft app if you change ports once the initial installation is complete.
Can I set up the cameras and/or DVR/NVR with the Videoloft Cloud Adapter before I install it at its final location?
To ensure the Cloud Adapter knows the correct IP address of the device it is connecting to, you’ll need to run the Videoloft installation process after physically installing the hardware at its final location. It is not possible to pre-configure the Cloud Adapter with the devices. However, you can install the Cloud Adapter remotely, as long as it is plugged into a network on site.
The LAN and Wi-Fi are separate, can I still setup the Cloud Adapter?
Yes, you can. You can set up your Cloud Adapter even if you're in Dallas and the adapter's in Tokyo. You do need your Cloud Adapter to see the cameras
on the local network and make sure the Adapter is connected to the Internet.
Can I configure Videoloft remotely?
Yes. Once the physical Cloud Adapter is connected, or the Virtual Cloud Adapter software is installed on a suitable machine on site, you can complete the setup remotely through the Videoloft web VMS or mobile app. Either option needs access to the cameras on the local network and an internet connection.
White label options
Do you offer a white label service?
Yes. We offer a variety of white label options, including:
- Co-brand with Videoloft (free of charge) – your logo and contact details are displayed in the Videoloft app.
- Lightweight white label with CCTV Connect (free of charge) – Your customers can use CCTV Connect, an app with a generic brand name but with the same functionality as the Videoloft app. You can choose the app icon, contact details and colours shown within the app.
- Full white label – This is a completely bespoke software package. You can decide on the app name, and the app will be listed under your company’s developer account in the app stores. It features an online multi-camera web viewer that will be fully branded and hosted on a subdomain of your company’s website. Please contact us for a price.
What is the difference between Videoloft and CCTV Connect?
The Videoloft app is a co-branded solution. Upload your logo and contact details into the partner portal and they’ll show to your customers inside the Videoloft app. The rest of the app is Videoloft branded, but your customers will see your logo and you’ll be listed as the contact.
The CCTV Connect app has exactly the same functionality but a more generic name. As a result, it’s easier for you to pitch it to your customers as the “ABC Installer CCTV Connect”. We can also build your brand and company colours into this app. Then when your customers log in it’ll appear completely like your software. On Apple devices we can even change the app icon to your logo, however, this feature isn’t available on Android yet.
Do I have to pay to have my brand in CCTV Connect?
No, there is no charge.
How do I get my brand in CCTV Connect?
Contact us and send us a high-resolution logo file. We’ll send you a visual mockup to approve, then it takes a few days to build into the app. We usually release a new app version every fortnight, so you won’t have long to wait to try it out.
