Morphean, the cloud video company, has announced a strategic partnership with the video surveillance product manufacturer Hanwha Vision, to cover retail, smart cities and banking. The firms say this partnership can enable multi-site organisations to streamline their surveillance operations by removing on-site server hardware. A direct-to-cloud approach integrates Hanwha Vision ranges, including the X, Q and T series, with the Morphean platform, enabling remote management and access, live streaming, and cloud recording. Users can manage sites from a single, intuitive interface, for setup, management and configuration.
By utilising a direct-to-cloud model, businesses can reduce operational costs, the companies say – by cutting out hardware maintenance, limiting electricity consumption, and reducing the need for site visits. Morpheanโs integrations with Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) can streamline security processes by providing a centralised management interface, for coordinated incident responses. As a result, businesses can reduce downtime and minimise potential losses, the firms add.
Cybersecurity
As for cybersecurity; Morphean operates within GDPR-compliant data centres in Switzerland, France, Germany and the UK, all certified with the international standard for information security management ISO 27001 for cybersecurity, video encryption, and multi-layer authentication. Morphean offers encryption, redundancy, and regular backups, minimising the risk of data loss due to hardware failures or theft and ensuring continuous operation, the firm says.
Morphean says Hanwha Vision was chosen as a manufacturing partner for its designing, developing and manufacturing products that are cyber-secure, keep usersโ confidential information safe, and comply with international regulations. Hanwha Vision products and solutions are compliant in the United States with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), meet ISO-27001 and UL CAP Certification requirements, and have FIPS 140-2 and device certificate (private Root CA). The firm has an in-house Security Computer Emergency Response Team (S-CERT).
For resellers and system integrators
By combining Hanwha Vision’s edge-based open platform with Morphean’s cloud-hosted solution, resellers and system integrators can have direct-to-cloud video surveillance to offer clients a solution. The firms add that this integration can reduce the complexity of installations and maintenance, allowing for quicker deployments and fewer on-site visits. An ability to deliver remote management and monitoring can fosters long-term relationships, they add. This increases sales opportunities as well as profitability for resellers and system integrators.
