Cisco cloud integration

Built with Axis Cloud Connect

Centralized device management

Built with Cloud Connect, this integration ensures seamless interoperability between the broad portfolio of compatible Axis devices and Cisco Cloud Control. Through the Cisco integration, you can onboard, monitor, and manage the lifecycle of connected devices from a unified interface, the Meraki dashboard. Vision portal, accessible via the Meraki dashboard, extends this capability to also include historical video access, video analytics, and 30-day cloud storage – helping you manage both networking and physical security operations from the same platform.

With a single-pane-of-glass experience, you’ll have full visibility across your infrastructure, increasing reliability, reducing downtime, and ensuring your Axis devices remain up to date.

Cybersecurity-driven focus

This joint solution is designed to help safeguard data privacy, system integrity, and operational continuity. With automated AXIS OS updates, Axis devices remain continuously equipped with the latest features and cybersecurity protocols, reducing vulnerabilities and simplifying maintenance.

Cisco Cloud Control enables centralized administration and cybersecurity focused cloud-based operations. With access to all video and device information from one unified dashboard, you gain network-level visibility and actionable insights, enabling you to proactively address potential issues while benefiting from smoother workflows and minimized downtime.

A hybrid-cloud approach

The Cisco + Axis integration supports a hybrid-cloud approach. You can maintain your currently deployed Axis devices while gradually introducing cloud management at your own pace. This joint solution offers two licensing options, giving you the flexibility to choose the setup that best fits your operational requirements:

Essentials license: Designed for organizations seeking streamlined cloud-based device deployment and unified device management, with real-time visibility into device health, connectivity, and performance.
Advantage license: Includes all features in the Essentials license alongside advanced capabilities such as historical video access, robust video analytics, 30-day cloud storage, and more.

Scalable, data-driven operations

With complete visibility of your entire network environment, this integration simplifies operations and helps keep your system up to date. Its cloud-based architecture makes it easy to securely scale both video and device management capabilities as your needs grow, without requiring complex infrastructure upgrades.

Because the solution is cloud-managed, your system is accessible from anywhere, at any time. Centralized access to device and video data also provides valuable insights to support informed decision-making and more efficient, data-driven operations.
