Extending on-premise storage with AXIS Camera Station

Axis Communications empowers organizations with cutting edge IP video technology, helping to provide solutions that improve safety and operations. These intelligent video surveillance cameras and video analytics are capturing more evidence than ever causing an increase in storage capacity requirements. The demand for high capacity storage that is fast, secure, and affordable is greater than ever. Many small to medium sized organizations don’t have the resources or expertise to manage exponential increases of video data while trying to combat ever-evolving security threats. By leveraging a combination of on-prem and cloud technology, Wasabi Surveillance Cloud for AXIS Camera Station provides a highly secure repository that supports higher camera counts, resolutions, frame rates, and retention requirements without the need for additional hardware beyond the existing server. New installations can easily develop a hybrid approach to storage unifying the benefits of on-prem and cloud-based storage.

Combining Intelligent Video Monitor Technology with Bottomless Cloud Storage

From a cost perspective, AXIS Camera Station combined with Wasabi hot cloud storage provides the most affordable cloud storage environment for high quality video surveillance infrastructures, including high-definition and megapixel environments. While it’s true that digital video consumes a significant amount of space, it’s not so much the storage footprint that makes cloud storage impractical for security and surveillance companies, but rather the egress fees charged to customers to access their stored recordings. With Wasabi there are no fees for egress or API requests. There is only one line item on your bill and that is for storage used.

Video Storage Costs That Are Predictable

From a cost perspective, AXIS Camera Station combined with Wasabi Surveillance Cloud provides powerful support for high-quality video surveillance infrastructures. While it’s true that digital video consumes a significant amount of storage space, surveillance professionals historically shied away from cloud storage due to confusing pricing tiers and limitless fees charged for accessing stored recordings, or egress fees. With the predictable pricing structure and zero-fee access to video files, Wasabi Surveillance Cloud helps users better anticipate and allocate surveillance resources and budget.

Safe, Secure, and Tamper-Proof

Wasabi is deployed in fully secure and redundant data centers that are certified for SOC-2 and ISO 27001 compliance. The service is architected in accordance with industry-best security models and design practices. Organizations can configure their storage buckets to be immutable for a user defined retention period (in increments of days, weeks, months or years). Designated video files written to a protected bucket cannot be deleted or altered in any way, by anyone, throughout its storage lifetime. Immutability can help with compliance for state and local government regulations.
