technological advances in a way
the natural world can’t. With visual

tools that pioneering companies need to
create revolutionary new products.
Our Cloudview system is a case in point.

analogue cameras and new digital ones
to create an internet link that uploads
and stores images securely in the cloud.
Once uploaded, these images are made

friendly dashboard. And because this is
a cloud-based system, where all images
are stored in the same format, they can
be accessed from anywhere that has an
internet connection on any device, be it
desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile.
Installation of Cloudview is quick and
