Axis debuts Cloud Connect platform

Axis Communications recently introduced Axis Cloud Connect, an open cloud-based platform the company says is designed to provide customers with more secure, flexible and scalable security solutions.

Axis says there are more than one million cloud-connected Axis cameras in use today. “Axis Cloud Connect is created to work together with Axis devices to enable a range of managed services that support system and device management, video and data delivery and meet high demands for cybersecurity,” stated the company in a press release.

Axis Cloud Connect enables the integration of Axis devices and partner applications by offering a selection of managed services. The managed services enable secure remote access to live video operations, and improved device management with automated updates throughout the lifecycle. It also offers user and access management for control of user access rights and permissions. The company says Cloud Connect is a “channel-friendly open platform that delivers solutions and services for system integrators and end customers.” Axis partners are also able to develop their own cloud-based solutions.

“Axis Cloud Connect is a continuation of our commitment to deliver secure-by-design solutions that meet changing customer needs. This offering combines the benefits of cloud technology and hybrid architectures with our deep knowledge of analytics, image usability, cybersecurity and long-term experience with cloud-based solutions — all managed by our team of experts to reduce friction for our customers,” stated Johan Paulsson, CTO, Axis.
