Axis, Wasabi Partner
for VMS Cloud Storage
▶ BOSTON - Wasabi Technologies,
an object storage service provider, has
partnered with Axis Communications
to deliver hot Cloud storage for the Axis
Camera Station (ACS) VMS.
Hot storage represents frequently used
and critical files stored at the edge for fast
local access. This differs from " cold " storage
that doesn't require fast access, such
as archived materials and infrequently
accessed projects and documents. The
partnership is said to help organizations
optimize their modern video surveillance
deployments and more effectively manage
evolving high-definition (HD) environments
and longer retention periods.

footage than ever before and require an
increase in storage capacity. However,
Wasabi says many organizations struggle
to obtain the resources and bandwidth
needed to effectively store their video in
a cost-effective way. With Wasabi's solution,
ACS users are said to be able to
access their video files at faster retrieval
times without fluctuating costs that are
traditionally associated with Cloud storage
solutions.
ACS allows users to build a scalable system
that covers safety and security needs,
while still being intuitive to manage,
handle incidents, quickly find and export
HD video evidence, and oversee physical
access. Now with the ability to move video
to Wasabi, the amount of footage that
can be stored is not limited to the size of
the on-premises recording database. Users
can now scale incrementally as a retention
policy requires, according to Axis.
Clare Controls Launches 'Color at Night'
IP Camera Series
▶ CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Clare Controls announces the release of a
new series of " Color at Night " high-performance IP surveillance
cameras that leverage wider apertures, Sony Starvis sensors and
integrated LED lighting to deliver improved nighttime performance
and visibility. Clare Controls, maker of the ClareVision
surveillance line and the ClareOne wireless security and home
automation system, is distributed exclusively by Snap One.
Where infrared (IR) cameras provide black-and-white nighttime
imaging, the new Color at Night series is said to capture full-color
images in low-light environments, and even in complete darkness
with the help of the integrated warm LED light. By replacing IR
illuminators with newer technologies, the Color at Night Series
eliminates IR reflections from rain or snow while the use of PoE
and the integrated light enable installation in unlit, unpowered
locations without the need for new high-voltage wiring.
The new series includes 4MP and 8MP models with a fixed
2.8mm lens in either bullet or turret style, plus 8MP models in bullet
or turret style with a motorized 2.7mm-13.5mm varifocal lens.
The 8MP models can record up to 4K resolution at 25 frames per
second (fps). The 4MP models come with a 32GB microSD memory
card and both the 4MP and 8MP models support microSD
cards up to 512GB. As part of Clare's Performance Series, all six
Color at Night models feature PoE capability and Smart AI for
intrusion, line crossing, loitering and people-gathering detection.

Mobotix Acquires AI Specialist Vaxtor Group
▶ LANGMEIL, Germany - Mobotix has reached an agreement to
acquire Vaxtor Group, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based video
analytics provider specializing in optical character recognition
(OCR) and deep learning technologies, for undisclosed terms.
Based in Tres Cantos, Spain, Vaxtor has a global customer
base across 50 countries, delivering both camera agnostic and
at the edge video analytics in various sectors. Its analytics technology,
used in combination with cameras, allow the automated
capture of letters, numbers or other machine- and human-readable
data and enables such information to be recorded and
processed cost-effectively at high-speed and trigger any related
processes, according to an announcement.
The use of Vaxtor's technologies can be applied in verticals
such as government, retail and transportation; and, for example,
in the tracking of containers, vehicles and aircraft, and in the
areas of logistics and manufacturing, the announcement states.
In addition, Vaxtor's products are suitable for the Mobotix 7
high-performance camera platform, meaning its analytics apps
can be run decentralized onboard the camera, removing the
need for peripheral hardware. They are also integrated into the
Mobotix HUB video management software.
" This acquisition is a significant step in our strategy of strengthening
our AI and deep learning capabilities and is based on compelling
commercial and development synergies and clear strategic
benefits for both parties, " says Mobotix CEO Thomas Lausten.
