Cyber Security

Ensuring your network’s security and preventing unwanted users from accessing your recorders is our top priority. We employ the latest in protection methods to safeguard your account information, including two-step verification, password protected video sharing, and NIST compliant data encryption.

System Health

The health of your recorder is just as important as its security.

You can also monitor recording retention to ensure you are meeting compliance for number of days recorded or view statistics on user activity.

ConteraWS Web Services can significantly reduce the time you spend reviewing, exporting, and distributing your recorded video. Intuitive search tools make finding video events faster and easier. Video events exported to your cloud account can be shared via email with coworkers, law enforcement, or management. You can even enter notes and control whether events can be downloaded by recipients.
