OpenEye has been shortlisted in the Cloud and SaaS Innovation category at the Benchmark Innovation Awards 2025, which recognises platforms that raise the bar for efficiency, intelligence, and usability in modern security operations.
With its cloud-native architecture, open ecosystem, and AI-driven insights, OpenEye Web Services (OWS) represents a practical and forward-thinking approach to video surveillance. It enables businesses to scale operations, enhance situational awareness, and simplify system management across multiple locations — all from a single platform.
Cloud flexibility meets enterprise-level performance
At the heart of OpenEye’s approach is OWS, a cloud-managed video solution that gives users full visibility and control from anywhere. Whether deployed across a single site or an enterprise-wide estate, the platform supports a mix of cloud and local recording, making it adaptable to changing security and infrastructure needs.
OWS integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of devices, including embedded appliances, network cameras, and even legacy analogue systems — giving organisations the flexibility to modernise at their own pace. Users can search video, manage alerts, and configure devices remotely, reducing the need for on-site interventions and enabling faster, more informed decision-making.
An open platform for smarter integration
OWS is designed to work with the systems businesses already have. Its open ecosystem supports third-party cameras, access control systems, environmental sensors, and even point-of-sale terminals. This interoperability extends the value of existing investments while enabling a smooth transition to the cloud.
For integrators and end users alike, the benefit is twofold: reduced infrastructure demands and a simplified deployment path. Add to this a growing library of integrations and a consistent user experience across devices, and the result is a powerful, scalable solution built for real-world challenges.
OpenEye’s recognition as a finalist highlights the platform’s ability to meet the evolving demands of modern video surveillance — through innovation that remains accessible, flexible, and future-ready.
