Smart camera management platform
The platform does not process or store personal data (the cameras actively remove personal data while capturing and before storing or uploading), and it adheres to best practices in data governance and infrastructure protection.
ZEITCloud supports alerting mechanisms based on device diagnostics, media analysis, or connectivity failures. Alerts can be configured via the web interface.
ZBeyond devices are capable of uploading data to a server using their inbuilt 4G LTE modem (or WiFi, if customized).
By default, they connect to a ZEITCloud server that receives all data from the device. To remote control a device (which is sleeping most of the time), the ZEITCloud server (with its attached database) holds commands that the device picks up the next time it wakes up on a given schedule. Manual triggers can wake up devices almost immediately but are not only available with some modems and not on all cellular networks either.
ZEITCloud provides simple yet powerful ways to integrate with your existing systems.
