AXIS Camera Station (ACS) is a video management software (VMS) compatible with all Axis network solutions and third-party products. The two new solutions, AXIS Camera Station Edge (ACS Edge) and AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage, are designed to expand network video management with innovative cloud capabilities. Axis aims to provide highly scalable, secure and flexible solutions in its end-to-end offering.

AXIS Camera Station Edge

ACS Edge uses an advanced method of managing video data where image processing occurs directly on the camera. No external server is required. Decentralized image processing not only increases speed, but also reduces infrastructure requirements, resulting in lower operational costs and lower total cost of ownership for the user.

A key advantage of ACS Edge is faster access to video data thanks to edge-based image processing directly on the camera. It reduces system complexity and eliminates the need for extensive on-site equipment. Using this video management software, Axis edge devices can be seamlessly integrated with the cloud services provided by Axis. This gives users the opportunity to efficiently manage large amounts of video material via an intuitive user interface. Deploying ACS Edge is easy. All that is required is an Axis camera with an SD memory card or an AXIS S30 series recorder, minimizing both configuration time and ongoing maintenance.

AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage

With AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage, Axis Communications presents a complete managed, cloud-based storage solution for its video management software, available through a subscription license. AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage provides long-term video storage, ensuring video footage is accessible regardless of the physical location of the hardware. In this way, important video data is safely preserved even in the event of hardware failure or physical damage.

Processed video material can be automatically transferred from the cameras to the cloud, eliminating the need for costly local storage solutions while providing flexible access to the video data. Cloud storage also includes a 30-day retention period for 720p videos – ideal for companies with a presence in multiple regions and cross-border support.

“With the introduction of ACS Edge and Cloud Storage, we offer companies a comprehensive range of options, from cloud to on-premise solutions to hybrid security systems. AXIS Camera Station is an established flagship solution that has already proven itself to be reliable in many industries. The new generation of software continues to allow customers complete control over their video security systems,” concludes David Needham.

Both AXIS Camera Station Edge and AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage are available for download now. For more information about ACS Edge, see herezu AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage here.
