Videoloft
Affordable cloud video surveillance for multi-site CCTV
About Videoloft
Videoloft is a cloud video management system (VSaaS) that connects existing CCTV cameras and recorders to the cloud through a hardware or virtual Cloud Adapter. It centralizes live and recorded video across unlimited sites, stores footage offsite on AWS, and adds per-camera AI analytics such as Smart Motion, license plate recognition, people counting, and PPE detection.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Low entry price of $4.99 per camera per month with unlimited sites, users, and cameras
- Works with existing cameras and recorders from hundreds of brands, so no rip-and-replace
- Free Virtual Cloud Adapter avoids hardware cost on Windows or Linux machines
- No static IP or port forwarding needed to connect sites
- Optional per-camera AI analytics (LPR, people counting, PPE) from $1.79 add-on
- Hosted on AWS (SOC 2, ISO 27001) with a hybrid NVR backup option
Cons

- No two-way audio, according to an independent hands-on review
- Browser viewer can lag several seconds behind the mobile app
- Few public user reviews on major software review sites
