Edge storage

Edge storage, typically implemented using SD cards, allows you to store data locally—directly on your device. And it’s not just a backup option. Using Axis surveillance cards, you can record high-resolution video both as primary and redundant storage. When used as primary storage on your device, SD cards can reduce the need for additional servers and recorders and lower the total cost of ownership. Edge storage can also complement your primary storage, so you can continuously store video on the edge in parallel with your Video Management Software (VMS). This means that even when your VMS is unavailable, SD cards can help to minimize the loss of video recordings.

Axis surveillance cards are ideal for remote locations, onboard installations such as trains and buses, and other areas where network availability is limited. They offer encryption features to protect the stored data from unauthorized access in case of theft or compromise. And, if needed, recordings can be quickly and securely transferred to a central system such as a VMS. Furthermore, these industrial-grade cards can withstand temperatures from -25°C (-13°F) to 85°C (185°F), ensuring reliability in extreme conditions. 

Supported by AXIS Camera Station and leading partner VMSs, Axis SD cards help enhance your surveillance system and ensure greater robustness and flexibility. Plus, they reduce server-related and other costs, improve overall systems performance, and increase efficiencies all while ensuring the secure transfer of data. What’s more, by offloading heavy processing tasks to edge devices you can reduce the processing burden on other components of the system, enhancing scalability, savings costs, and simplifying server maintenance.
