In this episode, we explore how cloud-native video security is changing the game for infrastructure from construction sites and campuses to public works. We base our discussion on the blog “Best 7 Cloud-Native Video Security Tools Protecting Infrastructure Projects” (link: https://alphavision.ai/blogs/axis-integration/best-7-cloud-native-video-security-infrastructure-projects). We compare seven modern tools, outline how they differ, and help you assess what fits your use case.

• The limits of legacy on-site systems in large, open, or distributed environments

• What “cloud-native video security” really means: intelligent, scalable, remote-first

• Highlights of the 7 platforms: their strengths, ideal contexts, and constraints
    • Alpha Vision + Axis: tactical AI features, live deterrence, full cloud stack
    • Cisco Meraki MV: simplicity in deployment, integrated management for multi-site
    • Arcules: reuse of existing hardware via gateway mode, optional local storage
    • OpenEye OWS: hybrid flexibility with local resilience
    • Camio: retrofit intelligence for legacy cameras
    • Ambient.ai: behavioral analytics overlay for anomaly detection
    • Ivideon: global cloud VMS with flexible storage and integrations

• Common pitfalls & challenges to watch out for (connectivity, cost scaling, false alarms)

• Deployment strategy advice: start small, scale thoughtfully, build resilience

• Security architects for large infrastructure / public sector

• Systems integrators and installers in surveillance / video systems

• IT operations in organizations managing multiple sites

• Decision-makers in infrastructure / real estate / construction technology

• Analysts or consultants scanning trends in surveillance / cloud security
