Case study: Videoloft via Starlink
The arrival of Starlink has opened up a wealth of opportunities that were previously not possible for those in rural and remote areas with poor internet connection – one of these is cloud video surveillance. A security consultant based in Ontario, Canada uses Videoloft via Starlink to obtain a robust remote surveillance solution.
There are many advantages to using cloud video surveillance solutions. But for those in remote & rural areas using cloud-based security systems can be unreliable, if not completely unusable, given internet restrictions.
Yet cloud video surveillance is particularly useful in remote areas, given it can allow users to remotely view cameras and control their settings from anywhere and at any time.
Now, with access to good internet speeds and no data caps via Starlink, the door to cloud video surveillance has been opened for rural users, but ensuring the solution is robust still requires the right cloud video surveillance provider.
Videoloft and Starlink are the perfect combination for cloud video surveillance solution in remote locations for a few different reasons.
In addition to Starlink providing a strong and reliable internet connection, Videoloft’s software constantly monitors the network conditions and deploys dynamic frame rate, bit rate, and resolution adjustment when necessary to ensure that footage is recorded and sent even in poor network conditions.
If the Starlink connection does drop off then the Videoloft Cloud Adapter has a backup of 32GB of memory to store the footage on the edge before transmitting it to the cloud when the connection is restored. Importantly, Videoloft alerts the users if the camera does stop recording and can provide camera health information for easy diagnosis of problems.
Videoloft offers multiple features which make it a great platform for proactive and responsive security from another location. As well as being able to view camera feeds from anywhere and control camera settings, Videoloft users with PTZ and audio enabled cameras can deter unwanted visitors from their remote location using pan, tilt and zoom controls and 2-way-audio through the Videoloft app.
Videoloft can also be installed remotely provided that the Cloud Adapter is plugged into the local network, meaning there is no need for security professionals onsite to connect Videoloft to an already installed security system.
A happy rural security consultant with a robust cloud video surveillance solution to recommend to clients! He explains:
‘Videoloft’s been very solid. I’ve got it on UPS [uninterruptible power supply] but when there was a Starlink outage I was alerted with an email. I’m very pleased and have suggested it to neighbors and clients who are waiting for Starlink dishes.’
