    It is well suited for small, medium, or even large business environments. For private or end-to-end services, Comcast Business SmartOffice services offer great applications and services to suit any need. As a larger business nonprofit education environment, Comcast has offered reliable and affordable services. Whether with wireless (wifi) or smart intelligent video monitoring services, Comcast Business SmartOffice has been great.

    They need to be powered where there is ethernet. This makes it hard for areas outside in larger fields and such (that are not tied to that). But for a hard-wired business, that wants to do away from home run copper back to the on-prem box, this is a great alternative.

    The ease of use is pretty remarkable when it comes to using this product. I have used other security monitoring systems in the past but Comcast Business SmartOffice is pretty unique with its ease of use. I recommend it to anyone and think it has less buffering speed than other systems in the past I have used.

    We looked at Meraki/Cisco cameras, as well as various on-prem servers. Nothing really stacked up when it came to features, cost, and ease of use. Meraki/Cisco came the closest but the licensing was not ideal.
