Why should companies upgrade to Solink’s cloud video security?

February 9, 2023

Solink business security offers the cost savings of hybrid storage and camera compatibility combined with the performance of an intuitive integrated cloud-based platform. The results are higher returns on investment (ROI) and smarter business security.

Previously, if you wanted new features, you would need to buy new cameras. Solink is a camera agnostic security solution that is compatible with most cameras on the market. This reduces the cost of onboarding the Solink platform.

Furthermore, the warrantied network-attached storage (NAS) device is included with your monthly subscription, making it a cost effective option that delivers ROI faster. Take advantage of Solink’s cloud video security platform without having to replace existing hardware. You can connect your existing cameras to Solink, transforming your outdated hardware into effective and proactive business security with low capital expenditure.

Unified platform across multiple locations

Solink takes your siloed cameras, recording devices, and logins and combines them under one pane of glass. Organize all of your locations and devices in one easy to use platform accessible remotely. Managing multiple locations remotely is easy and fast with Solink. Moreover, Solink is scalable to an unlimited number of sites and available on desktop, android, iOS, and Apple TV.

“We really were trying to find that one vendor that we could use to go ahead and aggregate all of our video feeds together for all of our restaurants. One simplified database for us to be able to log into [and] seamless go between restaurants”

Jay Hafemeister,
Partner of JH Foods, Carl’s Jr.

“Solink was able to upgrade existing systems with improved performance and speed, connectivity and intelligent features. Sixty systems were upgraded in just 30 days and now play an integral role in shrink reduction at existing sites.”

Cloud video security systems make collaboration easy

Add an unlimited number of users under one subscription without paying for additional seats. Assign each user permission levels based on their role and get unlimited training to ensure you get what you need out of your Solink system.

Centralized IT teams save time on investigations, while regional managers can access the video and data they need to make fast operational improvements. Any member of your team can use Solink to investigate incidents, find supporting video evidence, and save important clips to the cloud indefinitely.

In addition, cloud video surveillance means that video footage can be shared with authorities and external parties via email directly from Solink, saving you time on resolving cases.

“From a staffing perspective, Solink is saving us at least $150k per year because you’d traditionally need to have one person managing the case management, and another managing the audit and exception-based reporting. Not only does it save us financially, but it also saves us easily 20 hours a week in unnecessary work,”

Ian Dill,
VP of Asset Protection, Centric Brands

“It takes me just minutes a day to go through and see what our trends are, know if something doesn’t look right, and prioritize how to handle[…] Getting everyone set up with the right daily Solink reports and in the habit of using them makes such a difference to keep our fingers on the pulse of the business.”

Executive Vice President,
Roy Rogers

“When we first started with Solink, we were about three percent of sales lower than the system average for Jack’s locations. We were definitely lagging the Jack in the Box brand. Right now we’re about six to seven percent positive versus the system. I feel like Solink has helped us just knock it out of the park”

Paul Urbina,
Franchise operator for PARS group and Northwest Foods, Jack in the box

“Being able to search voids, refunds, excessive returns, easily identifying that stuff is such a time saver for our location and store managers. The benefits are not just from a technical standpoint. There is loss prevention, there’s managing the staff, and being able to easily identify property theft.”

Drew Malsbury,
Director of IT, Bottle King
