QNAP Partners with Cupola360 to Deliver Fully Panoramic AI-Driven Remote Inspection Platform

QNAP Systems, Inc. announced a partnership with Cupola360, Inc., a subsidiary of ASPEED Technology, Inc., and provider in Reality Remote Management (RRM).

The collaboration integrates the power of QNAP NAS and the QVR Surveillance platform with Cupola360’s 360° always-on panoramic intelligent inspection cameras and patrol platform, transforming traditional multi-view passive surveillance systems into proactive, real-time sensing patrol camera solutions. This enables a new panoramic, visualized, and remote management experience for diverse industries – while significantly reducing the number of cameras required and lowering overall deployment costs and AI computing power investment costs.

Cupola360’s panoramic inspection technology breaks free from the traditional limitations of 2D multi-view eMaps. With real-time full-view imagery and intuitive interactions, operators can monitor environments as if they were physically on-site, gaining real-time situational awareness and accelerating incident response. This solution enables ‘on-scene without being on-site’ operations, improving manpower efficiency, addressing labor shortages, and reducing the time and cost associated with physical inspections.

QNAP brings 4 key advantages to this partnership:

• Plug-and-play deployment: No complex installation required. Even non-technical users can easily set up the system and immediately benefit from realistic remote monitoring and full-panoramic recording.
• Comprehensive recording and retrieval: The QVR Surveillance platform enables long-term storage of panoramic footage, complementing Cupola360 Patrol’s real-time full-view inspection and AI detection focus, and ensuring complete traceability and incident review.
• Efficient platform deployment: Inspection applications can be installed directly on QNAP NAS via Containers, eliminating the need for additional servers.
• Isolated and secure environment: Cameras and applications can operate fully within the local network, preventing exposure to the public internet and enhancing security.

”Cupola360 delivers ‘instant-on-site’ panoramic visualization. When combined with QNAP NAS, every incident can be fully recorded like a ‘time capsule.’ Playback allows users to instantly reconstruct the event in full panoramic detail, clearly revealing the entire sequence. This becomes a highly intuitive tool for root-cause investigation, on-site training, on-site analysis, retraining for AI misclassification and evidence collection.” Polo Wu, product manager, Cupola360, stated.

Hanz Sung, head, smart video product department, QNAP, added:“Our partnership with Cupola360 allows organizations to upgrade their surveillance and inspection workflows while managing recording, analytics, and cybersecurity on a unified platform. QNAP NAS is not just storage – it is the intelligent core of the inspection system, helping managers evolve from merely ‘seeing’ to truly ‘understanding’ what is happening in their environment.”
