Axis Launches Open Platform Cloud Connect

Published Apr 10, 2024 16:03 PM

While Axis was very early to the cloud (AVHS, STS, etc.), in retrospect, too early, the company is now unveiling an entirely new platform at ISC West 2024 that aims to deliver an industry-first open cloud connect platform across its cameras and devices.

In the past five years, Hostage as a Service has gained ground, and proprietary camera-to-cloud systems are the norm. Can Axis, working with 3rd party partners including Genetec and several other partners at launch, deliver a real open alternative?

In this report, based on conversations with the Axis HQ product management team and Axis VP Americas Fredrik Nilsson, IPVM examines what Axis aims to do here and how it differs from current offerings.
