The network video product manufacturer Axis Communications has launched two new developments within the AXIS Camera Station (ACS) range. They are: AXIS Camera Station Edge (ACS Edge) and AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage. Both are available for download.
AXIS Camera Station Edge introduces a method of managing video data by processing images on the camera, cutting out the need for external servers or cloud-based processing. This on-the-edge image processing not only enhances speed but also reduces infrastructure needs, leading to lower operational costs and a reduced total cost of ownership for the user, the developers say.
David Needham, EMEA Business Development Program Manager at Axis, says: “With ACS Edge, we are offering a true cam-to-cloud solution while the rest of our new ACS offering gives our customers the choice of on-premise, cloud, and hybrid solutions.”
Access
ACS Edge offers faster video access, the developers add, as processing occurs on the camera. This reduces system complexity and cuts out the need for extensive on-site equipment, according to the firm. ACS Edge integrates Axis Edge devices with cloud services, allowing users to manage large volumes of video footage through an intuitive interface. Deployment requires only an Axis camera with an SD card or Axis S30 Recorder Series.
AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage
Alongside ACS Edge, Axis introduces AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage, a fully managed, secure cloud service available via a subscription license. It offers long-term video storage, ensuring that footage is accessible regardless of the physical location of the hardware. This solution provides businesses with peace of mind, safeguarding critical video data even in the event of hardware failure or physical damage.
Processed footage can be automatically transferred from cameras to the cloud, eliminating costly on-premise storage while offering flexible access. The service also provides a 30-day retention period for 720p video, making it ideal for businesses across multiple regions with multi-region support.
David Needham adds: “With the introduction of ACS Edge and Cloud Storage, we provide a comprehensive range of options for businesses — whether they require cloud, on-premise, or hybrid surveillance systems. AXIS Camera Station is a well-established flagship solution that has proven its reliability across industries, and this new generation will continue to empower customers with total control over their video surveillance systems.”
