CloudAstro designed and implemented a fully managed, cloud-native surveillance infrastructure for Kögel Bau based on VISIONGUARD, CloudAstro’s scalable video surveillance platform.
Challenge / Problem
Kögel Bau required a flexible, scalable, and data-protection-compliant solution to monitor construction sites with frequently changing locations. Existing systems were complex to deploy and lacked centralized cloud management.
- Implementation of a scalable and secure video monitoring system across construction sites
- Requirement for a simple deployment with minimal on-site infrastructure and GDPR-compliant data processing
- Reliable operation even at locations without fixed internet or Wi-Fi connectivity
Our Approach
The entire solution was implemented using VISIONGUARD as the central control, security, and management platform.
- Development of an intuitive plug-and-play solution powered by VISIONGUARD for site-specific camera installation.
- 24/7 surveillance availability via VISIONGUARD, ensuring the highest levels of data security in line with enterprise standards.
- Integration of mobile connectivity to eliminate dependency on fixed internet connections
- Establishment of a central cloud-based architecture
- Centralized management of all sites, cameras, and access rights through the VISIONGUARD dashboard.
Implementation
CloudAstro took over the complete deployment, management, and security of the cloud-based surveillance environment. The solution was built in a modular way to flexibly and GDPR-compliantly support both small and large construction sites. The technical implementation was carried out entirely via VISIONGUARD, which serves as the central control, security, and management platform for all video streams and locations.
- Provision and operation of the complete cloud backend infrastructure (storage, video processing, identity & access management)
- Automatic camera registration and lifecycle management via the secure VISIONGUARD dashboard.
- Integration of 5G SIM technology for mobile use at temporary construction sites
- Ensuring full GDPR compliance through encrypted data flows and strict access controls
- Delivery of a fully managed VISIONGUARD “Surveillance-as-a-Service” solution.
Results
With VISIONGUARD as the central platform, Kögel Bau achieved maximum flexibility, security, and operational efficiency across all construction sites.
- 24/7 cloud-based video surveillance with VISIONGUARD, requiring no infrastructure effort from the customer.
- Rapid deployment of new cameras, even in Wi-Fi-free zones using 5G
- High data security and full GDPR compliance
- Significantly improved scalability with minimal internal IT effort
- On-site teams benefit from a simple, effective, and mobile-optimized monitoring solution
