Looks like win the office sweepstake on how long it would take Milestone to go cloud ( go direct to the end user and cut out the integrator)...

One challenge, although it may not seem so on the surface, is the funding/support from Canon.
Having the resources to immediately hire a team of 100+ people is both a startup dream and nightmare. It's nice to not be worried about capital for a while, but at the same time massive growth/expansion like that can create its own internal challenges just in getting everyone aimed in the same direction and with the same product design/structure in mind.

[UPDATE]
Edited the report to reflect the closing of the SV office/venture:
Milestone confirmed that their Silicon Valley "Incubator" location will shut down alongside this spinout, and that the company will instead occupy a smaller satellite office for partner/client meetings.

Not getting the domain name secured before naming the company must be a Danish thing... seems like they are following in Milestone's footsteps (e.g. milestonesys.com).
Glad they have $10M in funding... they will find out that the VSaaS market is not for the faint of heart, nor quick returns. They (Canon) have realize that they will be cannibalizing Milestone and Axis AVHS sales... or maybe they don't?...they didn't check the domain name...

Where does "chain of custody" fit in to cloud storage as related to video storage?

I have approached several vendors with this issue, not one has had any kind of reasonable response. Seems any mediocre defense atty could make a lot of noise over video which was sent out over the public internet and stored off-site. Especially if a secondary compression codec was used by the storage company. Or a reduced frame-rate from the original recording. Anything which alters the video in any fashion from its original native format.

Genetec has been at it for a while with Stratocast...with limited success. It is hard to be a Ferrari and a Ford and the same time. Does anyone know how much these 3 plans cost? 7 days storage seems stingy to me... 5GB costs about a dime/month on AWS and even less on Azure.

Recognizing their naming issues, Arcus Global is now Arcules:
