How Telcos Can Scale Cloud-Based Video Surveillance, Access Control, and Video Analytics as a Mass Service

Security is no longer a fortress. It’s a fluid, ever-adapting network. In a world where everything from thermostats to traffic lights is connected, safety can no longer be static. Instead, it must evolve in real time, seamlessly woven into the digital fabric of daily life. This is not just a technological transformation, but a strategic opportunity. Cloud-Based Video Surveillance opens a wide range for implementation digital security of the next generation.

Traditional security infrastructure. marked by isolated systems, manual management, and high costs, has become insufficient for the modern age. What’s emerging is a profound shift: security as a service, delivered from the cloud, scalable across geographies, and adaptable to environments as diverse as city blocks and countryside shops.

At the same time, telecom operators are under pressure to identify new revenue streams. As high-revenue urban fiber deployments near saturation, telcos are being pushed to reconsider how and where they expand. Companies looking to roll out new fiber have typically targeted markets likely to yield the highest revenues, often focusing on urban areas with high population density and household income. But these opportunities are becoming scarce.

Now, a more complex calculus is needed. One that balances penetration potential, average revenue per user (ARPU), and the cost to serve. In lower-income or rural regions, the cost to deploy fiber may outweigh traditional service returns. Factors like network route length, deployment methods (aerial, underground, trenching), availability of backbone infrastructure, and labor or equipment costs must all be weighed against future growth prospects.

Enter value-added services and cloud-based services, particularly security solutions like video surveillance, access control, and video analytics, as a compelling opportunity. These services offer telcos a chance to diversify revenue while monetizing existing infrastructure and improving value propositions in both high- and low-density markets.

The Value-Added Services Market: Growing, Fragmented, and Ripe for Disruption

According to multiple industry forecasts, the global cloud video surveillance market is expected to surpass $60 billion by 2030. Cloud access control and AI-powered video analytics are also seeing double-digit annual growth, spurred by a combination of urbanization, rising security awareness, and the increasing affordability of smart hardware.

Yet, the market remains fragmented. While enterprises invest in sophisticated solutions, small and medium businesses (SMBs), homeowners, and community infrastructure often lag behind, either due to cost, complexity, or lack of awareness. The real opportunity lies in bridging this divide: making advanced security services simple, accessible, and affordable for the mass market.

Cloud Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS): The Foundation of Visual Security

Cloud-based video surveillance eliminates the barriers of traditional systems, such as local storage limitations, manual retrieval processes, and costly maintenance. By shifting video processing and storage to the cloud, telcos can provide a seamless, always-on security experience for both urban and remote users.

Target Audiences: Residential customers, independent retailers, cafés, coworking hubs, and property managers.

Key Advantages:

  • Scalable infrastructure to support millions of devices and high-definition video streams
  • Real-time monitoring and playback from any device, without reliance on local DVRs
  • Reduced hardware complexity and service friction through streamlined onboarding
  • Wide network reach, ensuring reliable connectivity in both dense and underserved areas

This approach transforms surveillance from a specialized product into a household utility — pervasive, reliable, and easy to use.

Cloud Access Control as a Service: Redefining Entry in a Contactless Era

Access control has traditionally been limited to enterprise environments, requiring significant upfront investments and dedicated IT teams. Cloud access control changes that paradigm. It empowers users to manage doors, gates, and facilities from anywhere, offering a contactless, centralized solution with real-time insights.

Target Audiences: Residential communities, education campuses, healthcare centers, small businesses, shared office spaces.

Key Advantages:

  • Remote provisioning and revocation of credentials across multiple sites
  • Seamless integration with smart home ecosystems and IoT-enabled locks
  • Notifications and logs accessible from web or mobile platforms
  • Multitenancy support for property managers and facility operators

The result is a secure, flexible system that adapts to modern mobility and privacy expectations.

Cloud Video Analytics as a Service: Intelligence That Enhances Safety and Efficiency

Video analytics represents the cognitive layer of physical security. It turns passive footage into proactive insights, enabling users to identify anomalies, predict behaviors, and make data-informed decisions. For telcos, this is not only a value-added services – it’s a differentiator.

Target Audiences: Retail chains, logistics operators, urban planners, municipal governments, and industrial facilities.

Key Advantages:

  • AI-based recognition and pattern detection in real time (e.g., intrusion, loitering, overcrowding)
  • Customizable analytics dashboards for operational and safety KPIs
  • Integration with third-party systems for automated alerts and workflow responses
  • Continuous improvement through machine learning models trained on diverse environments

As data becomes the new oil, video analytics equips users with the foresight to act, not just react.

Aipix Value-Added Services Platform: A Unified Philosophy of Security

Aipix was generated from a simple idea and philosophy: what if we could make advanced security tools as accessible as smartphones and as seamless as streaming services? Designed as an all-in-one platform, Aipix combines cloud-based video surveillance features, like access control, and analytics in a single application built specifically for telcos to provide their subscribers to deploy at scale.

Aipix is more than a product. It’s a philosophy. A belief that smarter, safer living should not be a privilege, but a standard. By enabling telcos to package, deliver, and support cloud security services from one cohesive platform, Aipix makes intelligent protection a daily utility, not a distant luxury.

In doing so, Aipix helps telcos expand their service footprint, unlock new recurring revenues, and enhance their relevance in a digital-first era. It is security as a platform and it reflects a broader mission: to make life smarter, safer, and more connected for everyone.
