The “Cloud First” era of video surveillance is hitting a wall.
For years, the industry pitch was simple: move your video to the cloud and let remote servers handle the intelligence. But in 2026, industrial leaders in Indonesia and Southeast Asia are waking up to a harsh financial reality. The “Cloud Tax”, the exploding cost of bandwidth and storage for high-definition video, is making pure cloud surveillance unsustainable for large-scale operations.
At ARSA Technology, we believe the future is AI Offline. Here is why the smartest enterprises are moving intelligence back to the premise.
1. The Bandwidth Math Does Not Add Up
Let’s look at the numbers. A single 1080p camera requires approximately 2 Mbps of upload speed for a stable cloud stream. If you operate a factory with 50 cameras, you need a dedicated 100 Mbps uplink just for video. In remote mining sites or industrial zones where connectivity is expensive or unstable, this is a non-starter. Cloud costs are exploding globally due to AI compute demand, with some businesses seeing bills jump 30-50% overnight.
The ARSA Advantage: Our AI Box for CCTV processes video streams locally. No video leaves your LAN unless you want it to. You get advanced analytics without the monthly bandwidth bill.
2. Latency: The Enemy of Safety
In a high-risk environment, “real-time” on the cloud isn’t real enough. Sending footage to a server, processing it, and sending an alert back takes seconds. If a forklift is about to collide with a worker, a 3-second delay is the difference between a “near miss” and a tragedy. AI on-premise solutions like ARSA’s process data in milliseconds at the edge. Alerts are instantaneous because the decision is made on the device, not in a data center hundreds of kilometers away.
3. Data Sovereignty is Non-Negotiable
With OJK and global privacy regulations tightening in 2026, sending sensitive footage of employees or customers to third-party cloud servers is a liability. AI Offline ensures your data remains under your physical control. It is the only way to guarantee 100% compliance with strict data localization laws.
