VIVOTEK and Genetec announce strategic partnership

VIVOTEK announced its further strategic cooperation with Genetec, a provider of open-platform, unified IP security solutions on its cloud-based video-surveillance-as-a-service (VSaaS) solution Stratocast. Compatible with VIVOTEK’s enterprise-level network cameras, Stratocast is designed to meet the security demands of small and midsized businesses (SMBs), which require a reliable video surveillance solution without the associated costs of on-premises storage, software updates and on-going maintenance.

In order to address an increasing number of SMB owners who are concerned about the safety of their facility and the operation cost of surveillance deployment, VIVOTEK is providing its enterprise-level cameras for Stratocast customers. The cameras have been integrated to work with Stratocast, allowing SMBs to deploy a highly affordable and convenient cloud-based video surveillance system.

“As the IP video surveillance market continues to mature and evolve, Genetec realized very early that the cloud would play a significant role in both hosting and storing security applications and content. Stratocast VSaaS offers SMB clients a hassle-free, easy-to-use, and affordable cloud-based video surveillance service, and we are delighted to partner with our camera technology partners at VIVOTEK to provide network-ready camera hardware to help end-users realize value and quality,” said Philippe Ouimette, Director of Strategic Alliances at Genetec.

William Ku, Vice President, Brand Business Division, VIVOTEK said: “Partnering with Genetec means we are able to help SMB users migrate to IP video surveillance and enhance our security knowhow directly from end-users. By leveraging the Company’s expertise in cloud-based VSaaS and VIVOTEK’s enterprise-level network cameras*, SMB users can benefit from reduced total cost of ownership and focus on their core competencies.”
