Cloudastructure, a provider of cloud-controlled video surveillance systems who recently secured more than $29 Million in First RegA+ offering, is pleased to announce that the Cloudastructure Video Surveillance Solution has been nominated to compete in the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program.
Cloudastructure is a revolutionary cloud based video and surveillance system that uses machine learning (ML) computer vision to recognize objects, faces and more.
These capabilities allow users to rapidly search video footage much like you do the web through our sophisticated object tagging capability.
TAGGER™
Cloudastructure runs every video through the company’s own computer vision system which generates tags for every object it sees in the video.
Things like or “person”, “animal” or “vehicle”. Then, Cloudastructure allows you (the user) to search by tag. No more watching branches blow or cars drive by for an hour.
Just search on “person” and see only videos that have people in them. With facial recognition you can also search for a bad actor or specific person.
FACE RECOGNITION
Cloudastructure tags all videos with faces in them, which allows clients to search by known person (e.g. Patrick) or unknown person (e.g. Unknown123), and additionally to track a person’s location history. (For example, “when was Unknown123 on campus and where?”)

AI + ML = Smarter Surveillance

The Cloudastructure cloud-based platform also offers an alternative to on-premises solutions, which can be costly to operate and scale and require on-site monitoring.
Securely store and access recorded and live video feeds in the cloud through a browser, so you can monitor and review 24/7 from any internet enable device.
Get full control and visibility of your entire distributed physical footprint with easy access to time-stamped video recorded by Cloudastructure Video Surveillance Software.
Cloudastructure securely stores & indexes all your footage in the cloud.
With Cloudastructure cloud video surveillance service, your video is stored off-site, supporting any required retention time. Standard retention can be 30, 60, 90 days or longer. View footage live or searched by person, object or other factors. (Courtesy of Cloudastructure)
In terms of scalability, Cloudastructure is most competitive when servicing multiple sites — for example a customer with 25 locations can maintain 50 separate silo systems with traditional video surveillance systems, or utilize just one SaaS solution from Cloudastructure.
“The cloud-based video surveillance market has seen considerable growth in 2021, and yet there are still many reluctant businesses,” explained Rick Bentley, Cloudstructure’s Founder and CEO.
“It is estimated that 90% of companies have not made the move to cloud yet and are still relying on antiquated technology to secure their businesses.”
“We started Cloudastructure because we wanted to provide enterprises with a user-oriented, affordable and scalable solution that offers advanced AI/ML capabilities while also remaining extremely secure.”
“Unlike other industries, cannabis retail stores face strict compliance regulations that require 24×7 video storage for 3 months or more,” added Paul Henderson, President at High Times.
“Cloudastructure’s solution allowed us to both store video in the cloud and on premises to meet our complex compliance requirements.”
“The additional AI features such as rapid search, facial recognition and license plate reading are critical features to protect and respond swiftly to any potential incidents at our stores.”
With the Cloudastructure platform, cameras distributed throughout an enterprise send video to an on-site cloud video recorder which then sends the video via a secure connection to a cloud-based remote server.
Of course, with everything in the cloud, all the data stays physically secure in the event of fires, floods, robberies, or whatever damage could occur to building camera.
Authorized users can log in from any internet-enabled mobile device to monitor the feed in real time and review recorded history up to 10 times faster than a traditional DVR.
Manufacturers, universities and health care organizations have all successfully used Cloudastructure’s solution for a centralized view of multiple sites from any mobile device and access to the platforms AI (artificial intelligence) and ML features.
Cloudastructure analytics include:
-
Rapid search through sophisticated tagging
-
Facial recognition
-
Anomaly detection
-
Face mask detection
-
Social distancing detection
-
People or object counting
-
Automatic license plate reading
-

These unique capabilities along with the secure cloud-based architecture that offers a 75% lower total cost of ownership, separated Cloudastructure from its competitors at the most pivotal time.
Developed in 2003, Cloudastructure is one of the longest standing cloud based AI surveillance providers in the market today.
