NYSS Project
WeWork Security System Migration Project
NYSS supported WeWork with a large-scale cloud video security migration across more than 100 sites and 10,000 cameras in the United States and Europe, helping extend the value of existing technology while improving system management.
Large-Scale Multi-Site Office Cloud Video Security Migration
Project Scope at a Glance
Migrating a Large Multi-Site Video Security System to the Cloud
WeWork needed to modernize video security management across a large, multi-site environment without replacing every existing camera.
NYSS supported a cloud video security migration across more than 100 sites and over 10,000 cameras in the United States and Europe. The project focused on extending the value of existing infrastructure, simplifying system management, and reducing unnecessary replacement costs.
The migration strategy supported multiple camera manufacturers and helped create a more flexible foundation for managing video security across a complex global workspace portfolio.
The Environment
Flexible workspace environments require security systems that can support high daily activity, multiple user roles, changing occupancy, and consistent management across locations.
For WeWork, the project involved a large portfolio of sites across different regions, each with existing video security infrastructure that needed to be migrated without creating unnecessary disruption or replacement costs.
Multi-Site Portfolio
The project supported more than 100 locations across the United States and Europe.
Large Camera Footprint
More than 10,000 cameras were included in the migration.
Mixed Existing Infrastructure
The solution needed to support multiple camera manufacturers and existing technology.
Complex User Roles
The platform needed to support different users, permissions, and operational needs.
Remote Execution
NYSS completed the migration remotely, reducing the need for on-site disruption.
The Challenge
WeWork needed to move from an on-premise video security model to a cloud-based system without the cost and disruption of replacing its full camera infrastructure.
The challenge was not simply moving video to the cloud. The project required a migration strategy that could support existing cameras across multiple manufacturers, preserve prior technology investments, and create a more manageable system across a large, distributed portfolio.
Key Considerations
- Migrating more than 100 sites
- Supporting over 10,000 cameras
- Avoiding unnecessary camera replacement
- Supporting multiple camera manufacturers
- Exporting camera data from the existing video monitoring service
- Configuring complex user roles
- Streamlining onboarding and navigation
- Supporting business insights through built-in analytics
- Completing the work remotely across regions
