Case study: FTH Hire & Videoloft
FTH Hire Group is a family business with 40 years experience supplying contractors, builders, landscapers and craftsmen across the UK with their plant and tool hire needs. Their fleet of over 7,000 items includes everything from drills to cement mixers, sanders to scaffolding towers, heavy plant machinery and much more.
FTH Hire have Dahua cameras and recorders installed at their depots and their security footage is stored locally. With a substantial amount of high value equipment, the risk of theft is high. FTH Hire wanted to add cloud back-up to their existing Dahua install in case their local recorders were stolen or damaged.
As well as requiring a secure cloud back-up and recovery solution for their existing VMS platform, it was also important that FTH Hire could access all the footage from their depots remotely and in real-time, from one central location. Historically staff at FTH Hire could only access footage by logging into each individual recorder, and, given the expansion rate of the business this wasn’t a sustainable option.
After looking at different options for cloud cctv backup, FTH Hire chose the Videoloft cloud platform. Installed by their security provider Shield Integrated Solutions, their existing Dahua cameras were connected to the cloud. At their newer sites, Hikvision cameras were installed and connected to the Videoloft platform. This allowed them to store all their footage in the cloud and also access it remotely from one centralised location.
The Videoloft cloud solution has been a game-changer for FTH Hire Group. They can now view all their depots simultaneously on a single screen. Most importantly, it’s given them peace of mind that all their security footage is backed up to the cloud.
In addition to the offsite storage capabilities, there are many other benefits of installing Videoloft’s cloud-based platform including multi-user permissions, recording scheduling, push notifications when motion is detected and much more!
