It's crucial to acknowledge that cloud solutions vary in their capabilities, and platform lock-in should be considered a decisive factor in the contemporary cloud-first landscape of open technology. We invite you to access a free trial account or contact sales to explore this further. We aim to deliver a durable cloud surveillance system that adapts to your evolving business requirements.
With 3dEYE Cloud Video and AI Analytics platform any camera or NVR/DVR can be cloud-enabled with the option to avoid port forwarding https://www.3deye.me/plug-and-play vs. with Verkada you will be bound to use limited expensive proprietary cameras only (Vivotek OEM) – a phenomenon known as “Hostage-as-a-Service” in video surveillance industry. If you decide to switch the solution your investment into hardware is lost. If Verkada raises prices for their annual licenses, as an 'owner', you either need to pay it or brick the cameras – with 3dEYE you would be able to connect to your Axis, Hikvision, Vivotek, Hanwha or other camera brands even after you move from 3dEYE. In sum, the ability to connect to any hardware is an important consideration when selecting a video surveillance solution, as it can provide greater flexibility, choice, and lower Total Cost of Ownership for customers.
With 3dEYE's Cloud Video and AI Analytics platform, all storage and analytical processing are performed in the cloud. This means that video recordings are protected from tampering, theft, or destruction, even if the camera is damaged or stolen. This can be particularly beneficial for businesses or organizations that rely on video surveillance as part of their security strategy, as it ensures that valuable evidence is always safe and accessible. In contrast, Verkada's cloud offering stores video on-premises with storage built into each camera, which means that if a camera is damaged or stolen, the video evidence stored on that camera is also lost.
While Verkada does allows access to live video through internet and stores lower resolution clips in a cloud, this does not provide the same level of scalability, reliability and security as a pre cloud - fully cloud-based solution offered by 3dEYE.
Overall, storing video recordings in the cloud can provide an extra layer of security and protection for businesses and organizations, particularly in the event of theft, vandalism, or other unexpected events that could compromise the integrity of the video evidence.
With 3dEYE’s Pure Cloud Video and AI Analytics platform, customers can choose from a range of storage plans, from 0 to 10 years or more, depending on their specific needs and regulatory requirements.
Note, that a customer is free to choose any quality settings, bitrate, resolution, FPS from the available on a camera.
This provides a high degree of flexibility, as customers can adjust their storage plan at any time to meet changing needs or regulations. In contrast, Verkada requires customers to select a storage plan of 30 days to 1 year at the time of camera purchase with fixed quality settings. This lack of flexibility may not meet the specific needs of all customers, particularly those with changing storage requirements or those who want to be able to adjust their storage plan in response to changing regulations.
The entirety of captured footage and recordings are securely stored within AWS, utilizing the most advanced durability technology available on the market, offering an unprecedented 99.999999999% guarantee of preserving data without degradation over time. This level of reliability is unparalleled when compared to the local storage provided by an on-premise camera.
As a result, the total cost of ownership (TCO) for the 3dEYE cloud platform is significantly reduced, as there is no risk of storage degradation, no need for costly expansions of storage or licenses to accommodate changes in requirements, no requirement for additional cloud storage for backup, and no risk of losing valuable evidence due to theft or vandalism of the camera.
With 3dEYE's Cloud Video and AI Analytics platform, all analytical processing is performed in the cloud, which provides significant advantages over on-premise solutions. Because the platform can access data from the entire cloud ecosystem, it has access to much larger data sets and models.
Our models are continually updated with freshly trained data on a bi-weekly basis to ensure that we maintain the highest level of accuracy and relevancy. As a result of this rigorous process, our customers have the benefit of accessing the latest analytics from their cloud-based accounts.
In contrast, Verkada's on-premise solutions are limited by the processing power and resources available to the cameras themselves. This means that they not be able to support large, complex analytical models or multiple simultaneous analytics running due to hardware limitation of single camera.
Furthermore, 3dEYE's platform is designed to be highly customizable and extensible, allowing customers to integrate third-party analytics tools into the cloud-based solution. This provides even greater flexibility and customization options for customers who may have specific analytical needs that are not met by the platform's built-in capabilities.
Overall, the ability to leverage the power and resources of the cloud for analytical processing can provide significant advantages over on-premise solutions. 3dEYE's platform is designed to take full advantage of these capabilities, providing powerful and highly customizable analytical tools that can improve the accuracy and precision of surveillance alerts.
3dEYE's advanced analytics and ability to adjust to customer camera usage result in significantly fewer false alarm events, thus reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) for both monitoring and alarm stations. Each additional false alarm event requires additional time and resources from operators, resulting in unnecessary costs. By utilizing 3dEYE's platform, our customers can reduce the frequency of these false alarms, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective monitoring process.
Cybersecurity is a critical concern for any security video solution.
Security should be done throughout the system. All accessible attack surfaces such as web and mobile end-user UI, admin panel, APIs, on-premise hardware and hardware UIi. Cameras are in general the lowest hanging fruit for remote attack on a corporate network. In case of Verkada, Camera handles storage, analytics, live view and is the focal reliability danger point.
By contrast, 3dEYE has created a PUSH technology connector to enable cameras or NVR to connect directly to the cloud without exposing devices to the internet. Our Pure Cloud Video and AI Analytics platform was designed with best-in-class AWS cybersecurity measures to ensure robust security throughout. Our multi-tenant platform was also built with security as a first-class citizen, with serverless architecture, independent services, and a separation of concerns to prevent unauthorized access and localize attack surfaces.
We also ensure that top-level integrators do not have visibility into customer accounts under them, which further improves security.
In contrast to 3dEYE, Verkada has previously been exposed as vulnerable to cyberattacks, with a hack in 2021 exposing client data, and a backdoor superuser - an incident reported by IPVM. Such security vulnerabilities are not only a cause for concern around privacy and compliance but also pose a significant security threat. While Verkada has mitigated the issue by providing two-factor authentication, the fact remains that its built-in central administration will always be a target for exploits, requiring a complete rebuild of permissions throughout the system to address this concern fully. Overall, the security of a video surveillance solution is a critical consideration, particularly in sensitive environments such as businesses or government facilities. 3dEYE's platform is designed with a strong focus on cybersecurity, providing customers with peace of mind and ensuring that their data is protected from potential cyber threats.
3dEYE Platform includes a robust video cloud-based alarm monitoring user interface with multicamera view and arm/disarm functionality. 3dEYE integrates with largest alarm stations like IMMIX, BOLD. You can use the 3dEYE alarm station module with alarm station’s analytics, camera analytics or 3dEYE cloud-based analytics.
With 3dEYE's cloud-based alarm station, customers can now monitor multiple remote locations with ease, leveraging remote operators instead of being tied to specific locations with specific cameras. Our platform provides the flexibility for customers to connect their cameras to 3rd party monitoring stations using integrations or have their own operators and leverage the included 3dEYE alarm station. This added flexibility allows customers to scale their operations efficiently and effectively, without the need for significant infrastructure investments or hiring additional staff.

With 3dEYE's Cloud Video and AI Analytics platform, live streams are distributed from the cloud to an unlimited number of users, and customers can choose the quality settings at which the stream is distributed. This allows for a high degree of flexibility and scalability, as any number of users can access the stream simultaneously without experiencing issues related to bandwidth or quality.
In contrast, Verkada's cameras can only stream limited video directly from the camera to a limited number of users. This means that only a limited number of users can access Verkada online streams, and the quality will be limited due to bandwidth constraints.
Verkada's solution generates a new outbound stream for every new request or video stream or archive from its cameras. While this approach may work well for a small number of users, it quickly becomes a scalability issue when multiple users need to view multiple cameras from outside. This is because the ISP bandwidth becomes a bottleneck, leading to a less-than-ideal user experience.
At 3dEYE, we have implemented a more scalable solution that addresses these concerns. Our platform utilizes a single outbound stream for multiple users viewing multiple cameras from outside. This approach ensures that our solution is highly scalable and can accommodate the needs of businesses of all sizes. By leveraging our cloud-based platform, customers can access their video streams from anywhere without worrying about bandwidth limitations or scalability issues. This feature ensures that 3dEYE's solution is always accessible and provides a seamless user experience, regardless of the number of users or cameras being utilized.
