Axis Communications has announced the continued growth of Axis Cloud Connect as key partners revealed new solutions and integrations at this year’s ISC West Conference.
The company notes that one year after its launch, Axis Cloud Connect is playing a pivotal role in advancing cloud-connected solutions with partners including Eagle Eye Networks, SecuriThings and Wesco introducing new innovations that leverage its scalability, flexibility and cybersecurity.
These developments include VMS integrations, enhancements to video analytics, device lifecycle management and data aggregation.
Additionally, early adopters of Axis Cloud Connect such as Genetec with its Security Center SaaS and Kone’s 24/7 Emergency Video Communications solution continue to leverage the platform.
Most recently, long-time partner Milestone Systems announced plans for video management integration with Axis’ cloud platform.
Launched at ISC West in 2024, Axis Cloud Connect drove innovation and growth in the cloud connected IoT space for security, business intelligence and operational efficiency, the company claims.
This open, cloud-based platform was designed to deliver secure, flexible and scalable solutions.
The platform integrates with Axis devices, enabling managed services that support system and device management, video and data delivery, and robust cybersecurity.
The channel-friendly platform delivers solutions and services for system integrators and customers, and it’s designed to enable Axis development partners to create their own cloud-based solutions, addressing market opportunities and customer needs, the company adds.
Axis Communications’ unique approach to cloud technology continues to foster innovation and accelerate time to market, empowering partners to meet the ever-evolving demands of a connected world.
Fredrik Nilsson, VP, Americas, Axis Communications commented: “Over the past year, Axis Cloud Connect has helped transform the way security, business intelligence and operational solutions are deployed, utilized and managed.
“The open platform’s flexibility, scalability and advanced cybersecurity features have enabled our partners to innovate and deliver cutting-edge solutions that meet the dynamic needs of the market.”
Nilsson concluded: “The progress made by our partners is a testament to the power of openness and collaboration, and the immense potential of Axis Cloud Connect to shape the future of security and IoT.”
Axis Cloud Connect recently won a BIG Innovation Award from the Business Intelligence Group, which the company claims highlights the platform for its impact on the security and surveillance industry.
Judges commended the platform’s ability to integrate cloud, on-premises and edge technologies, offering high-level cybersecurity, scalability and easy integration.
The Business Intelligence Group is a research-based group that recognizes talent and performance with a panel of judges from diverse industries who evaluate creativity, measurable results and overall impact when selecting award winners.
Eagle Eye Networks has integrated Axis Cloud Connect into its offerings to enhance the capabilities of businesses globally using Axis Communications cameras.
Through this integration, customers can now directly connect Axis cameras to the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS via Eagle Eye Camera Direct, enabling access to video data from anywhere.
The company notes that this eliminates the need for on-premise bridges or video recorders, streamlining deployment while maintaining high-quality video and flexible retention options.
Dean Drako, CEO, Eagle Eye Networks commented: “This integration brings Axis Communications’ world-class security cameras and other devices directly to the cloud in a way that focuses on cybersecurity and is very easy to manage.
“Eagle Eye leverages Axis analytics and AI, incorporating results into search, alerting and automation capabilities of the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS, delivering a powerful solution to businesses customers across the globe,” Drako added.
Genetec has further integrated with Axis Cloud Connect to enhance its Security Center SaaS offering.
With this development, Genetec now supports a broader range of Axis devices, including the latest ARTPEC-9-based cameras, multi-sensor cameras and cloud-managed appliances.
The company claims that this partnership enables scalable cloud deployments, edge video capabilities and integration for better performance and reliability across video surveillance systems.
Additionally, integration with more Axis cloud-ready devices is planned to further streamline operations for security teams.
Notably, two years ago, Axis and Genetec also furthered the collaboration in the access control space with the launch of Axis Powered by Genetec, which has since expanded with the recent introduction of the A1710 (4-door controller) and A1810 (8-door controller).
The company notes that the controllers can now also leverage the capabilities of Axis Cloud Connect, boosting operational efficiency in integrated security systems.
Oktay Yildiz, Senior Manager, Product Management, Security Center SaaS Genetec highlighted: “We’re proud to be one of the first Axis partners to leverage the Axis Cloud Connect platform and the success we’ve seen has led us to further deepen our integration.
“Axis Cloud Connect truly complements and enhances our Security Center SaaS, allowing us to offer customers greater scalability, seamless cloud integration and advanced edge video capabilities.
“This collaboration strengthens our ability to deliver innovative, high-performance security solutions with superior cybersecurity and greater flexibility across all deployment scenarios,” Yildiz concluded.
