How Star Cement Moved 500+ Cameras to Cloud VMS with SEBI-Compliant Storage

Surveillance across four locations and 500 cameras, with SEBI-mandated retention — and no centralized way to view or store footage.

The Hidden Problem

Local Surveillance Fails at Multi-Location Enterprise Scale

  • ! Star Cement was running surveillance across four locations and 500 cameras, with SEBI-mandated retention requirements and no centralized way to view or store footage.
  • ! No unified live view across cameras spread over multiple locations.
  • ! Local storage could not meet SEBI-mandated long-term retention.
  • ! No compliant, tamper-safe archive for audit and regulatory review.
Surveillance at this scale cannot be left to local hardware
Local control room — surveillance siloed per location

The reality of local, per-site surveillance

TentoVision Deployment

The Game Changer — Cloud VMS with Compliant Long-Term Storage

To centralize surveillance and meet SEBI retention requirements at scale, Star Cement deployed TentoVision's Cloud VMS, which included:

Cloud live viewing

SEBI-compliant storage

Tiered archive (Glacier → Deep Archive)

Centralized multi-location dashboard

Role-based access control

Dashboard — multi-location live view
Dashboard — centralized multi-location view
Dashboard — tiered archive, Glacier to Deep Archive
Dashboard — role-based access control
How it worked in real life

Before, During & After

From siloed local hardware across four sites to one compliant cloud platform unifying 500+ cameras — with a full year of SEBI-mandated retention.

Before — surveillance on local hardware across four sites
Before

Local Hardware

  • Surveillance on local hardware across 4 locations
  • No central view of 500 cameras
  • Storage couldn't meet SEBI retention
  • No compliant, tamper-safe archive
During — migration of 500 cameras to cloud VMS
During

Cloud Migration

  • All four locations centralized at once
  • 500 cameras unified into one cloud dashboard
  • Retention extended 90 days → 1 full year
  • Tiered archive: Glacier IR → Deep Archive
After — one compliant, centralized cloud dashboard
After

Compliant & Centralized

  • Single dashboard, live view from anywhere
  • One year of SEBI-compliant storage
  • Tamper-safe, always-recoverable archive
  • No local storage limits
The real difference

Local Hardware vs TentoVision Cloud VMS

A feature-by-feature look at why hardware-bound surveillance fails at multi-location scale — and what a compliant cloud VMS changes.

Before: Local Hardware
  • No unified view across multiple locations
  • Local storage could not meet SEBI retention
  • No cost-efficient long-term archive
  • No control over who viewed footage
  • Passive, hardware-bound — fails at scale
  • Footage vulnerable to local loss, theft or tampering
  • Adding cameras meant more on-site hardware
After: TentoVision Cloud VMS
  • Centralized live view of all 500+ cameras from anywhere
  • One full year of compliant cloud storage
  • Tiered Glacier IR → Deep Archive lifecycle
  • Role-based access — every user sees only permitted data
  • Cloud-powered, always-on — every camera, every location
  • Encrypted cloud storage — tamper-safe & recoverable
  • Scales seamlessly to 700+ cameras across locations
Results that speak for themselves

Operational Impact

Clear, measurable improvements driven by smart cloud technology across all four locations.

500+ Cameras on Cloud

Client testimonial
“
Running surveillance across four locations and hundreds of cameras with SEBI retention was impossible on local hardware. TentoVision's Cloud VMS gives us centralized live view and one full year of compliant storage — accessible anywhere.
