VSaaS is an emerging market, and we project mega-cloud providers to dominate in the 2030s, but what are integrator's favorites now in 2024?

IPVM Image

We have expanded this survey, and 200+ integrators responded to two questions:

Who is your favorite VSaaS (Cloud Hosted or Managed) Provider? Why?

Also, new for this year:

In the past year, what percentage of new cameras did you use VSaaS (Cloud Hosted or Managed)?

For historical results, see Favorite VSaaS Providers 2022 and Favorite VSaaS Providers 2020.

For our technology testing, see VSaaS Rankings 2023 - Arcules, Avigilon, Eagle Eye, Genetec, Meraki, OpenEye, Qumulex, Rhombus, Turing, Verkada, Vivotek, YourSix.
