In this episode, we dive into how property management is being transformed by cloud-based video intelligence. Drawing on the blog “Best 8 Cloud Video Intelligence Tools Recognized in Property Management” (link: https://alphavision.ai/blogs/best-lists/8-best-cloud-video-tools-for-property-management), we’ll walk through eight leading platforms, explore their trade-offs, and help you think through which tools can elevate security, tenant experience, and operational efficiency.

• The evolving security challenges in property management: package theft, parking lot crime, vandalism, tenant complaints, insurance risk

• What “cloud video intelligence” offers beyond traditional CCTV: AI analytics, remote alerts, search, deterrence, simplified scaling

• Overview of the 8 standout tools and how they differentiate:   • Alpha Vision + Axis Integration: Axis’s strong camera hardware paired with Alpha Vision’s AI Magic Search, intrusion alerts, LPR, two-way audio deterrence   • Genetec Security Center: unified video + access + analytics, open architecture, supports many camera types   • Avigilon Alta: cloud-native video platform, gateway support for existing cameras, analytics like appearance search, heatmaps   • Verkada: turn-key cloud cameras + hardware + software stack with AI search & integrated ecosystem   • Rhombus Systems: video + IoT sensors, cloud management, real time alerts, good for multi-site portfolios   • Eagle Eye Networks: open cloud VMS, supports ONVIF cameras, bridge appliances, smart search, APIs   • Hanwha Vision (Wisenet): edge AI at the camera (object detection, people counting, local analytics), hybrid setups   • Spot AI: retrofit AI via appliance + cloud layer on existing CCTV systems; enables search, alerts, remote view

• Trade-off and deployment considerations:   • Cloud dependence: internet availability, bandwidth limitations, latency   • Subscription and licensing costs over time   • Vendor lock-in vs open systems and interoperability   • Accuracy, false positives, calibration of AI models   • Fallback or local storage / buffering for when connectivity is lost   • Privacy, regulatory or tenant-data considerations

• Best practices for rollout: pilot in key zones (parking, entrances), monitor performance, adjust settings, scale gradually

• Property management companies (multifamily, commercial)

• Facilities & operations directors overseeing security for real estate portfolios

• Security integrators and solution providers in real estate / property tech

• CIOs / technology leads in real estate firms

• Investors, analysts, or technology scouts tracking proptech and smart building trends
