Video Surveillance

Total Cost of Ownership

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for video surveillance systems includes not only the initial purchase price but also ongoing expenses such as maintenance, storage, power consumption, and lighting. A comprehensive look at these factors is crucial to minimizing total costs and maximizing system efficiency. With professional consulting that incorporates the total cost of ownership, you ensure the long-term profitability of your systems. As a full-service system house for professional video and network solutions, we are available at any time for a consultation.

Avoid Hidden Costs

Impact on ROI

The total cost of ownership for video surveillance systems can also be described as hidden costs, as they only become evident after purchase, installation, and commissioning. The assessment and consulting regarding the follow-up costs of a professional video system should therefore always be clearly communicated in the cost breakdown, the quote, or during consultations. A detailed look at the total cost of ownership over the lifespan of a video system reveals that initially cheap offers become significantly more expensive in the long run. Reasons for this include maintenance-intensive system components, follow-up costs due to system failures, and a lack of flexibility and scalability.

Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs cover the expenses for cameras, servers, and installation. However, these only account for about 30% of the total cost of ownership. To save costs in the long term, focus should be placed on high-quality and efficient hardware.

Storage and Power Consumption

Legal requirements often necessitate the storage of video data over long periods, which causes high storage and energy costs. Technologies such as Axis Zipstream can reduce storage requirements by up to 50% without compromising image quality, thereby also lowering power consumption.

Maintenance Costs

Regular maintenance is essential for the smooth operation of surveillance systems. Automated software updates and self-cleaning cameras like the AXIS Q61 PTZ Series can significantly reduce maintenance costs. Solutions such as AXIS Device Manager enable remote management and updating of devices, saving time and costs.

Lighting

Additional lighting for night vision increases energy costs. Technologies like Axis Lightfinder and Axis OptimizedIR provide high-quality image quality even in poor lighting conditions without additional energy expenditure. This reduces the need for external lighting and lowers operating costs.
Recommendation for Total Cost of Ownership

Quality products, profitability, scalability.

Considering and integrating the total cost of ownership into a professional video surveillance concept provides clear recommendations for purchasing high-quality system components. The higher acquisition costs compared to inferior goods are justified by their long-term profitability.
