Granting And Revoking Access To Video On A BYOD Device

By Greg Millar, CTO, SVP, MultiSight

Does your company allow employees to use their personal smart phone or tablet for business purposes? This option is commonly referred to as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). BYOD can be a great way to reduce IT costs.

However, the down side is that, if those devices are used to access company video, you may have limited ability to control access to your video content. High rates of employee turnover magnify the challenges of managing access. Many retailers and quick-service restaurants (QSRs) face high employee turnover, not just at the entry-level but in the management tier.

With MultiSight, we encourage access to video at all levels — from corporate headquarters to the district or regional managers, to the level of individual store managers. There are no per-user license fees and the mobile apps to use the system are available at no charge from the Apple App Store or from Google Play.

But with all of those authorized viewers, many on their own devices, doesn’t user management become a headache?
