From an architectural standpoint, the difference between cloud and on-prem VMS goes far beyond storage location. Cloud VMS shifts surveillance into a scalable, service-driven model with centralized access and reduced infrastructure management. On-prem VMS prioritizes deterministic performance, local processing, and full control over data flow.
Evaluating Cloud VMS vs On-Premises VMS helps architects and security teams align surveillance design with network constraints, compliance needs, and long-term operational strategy—especially in large or multi-site deployments.
