Easy setup with Axis recording solutions

With no recording server needed on site, AXIS Camera Station Edge significantly simplifies system setup and maintenance. Licenses are included with all Axis devices. All that’s needed is an Axis SD card in the camera and it’s a complete recording solution ready to go. It can also be combined with AXIS S3008 Recorder Series.

What’s more, AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage makes it possible to incorporate redundant cloud storage, so recordings are always accessible, even if primary storage is unavailable. 

Intuitive interface ensures effortless control

With a user-friendly interface, AXIS Camera Station Edge makes it easy to access all key functions for video management. For instance, users can control features such as live view with selectable video quality, a timeline visualization of recorded events, and much more. Real-time alert notifications keep them aware of any suspicious activity. Additionally, it’s possible to invite users and set up permissions in a flexible way allowing full control over who can access what in the system.

And, with licenses included in all Axis products at no additional cost, it couldn't be simpler to get started.

Take advantage of powerful analytics

Analytics help operators take quick action and make informed decisions. They can also enhance security by triggering automated events. AXIS Camera Station Edge is tightly integrated with AXIS Object Analytics, so it’s easy to take full advantage of the AI-based analytics in Axis cameras. For instance, it’s possible to keep track of all suspicious activities. In addition, notifications can be customized to suit specific needs, reducing the amounts of false alarms and offering a simple way to stay in control. 

Strong security 

Security is an essential part of any system. Like all Axis products and solutions, AXIS Camera Station Edge is designed with cybersecurity in mind. This highly secure and reliable solution uses built-in cybersecurity features and standards to enable secure behavior such as hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) and signed video. It comes with out-of-the-box security and full system encryption as default. In addition, continuous updates ensure the system is always running with the latest features and technology.

Remote access

AXIS Camera Station Edge offers easy system access using a mobile app, desktop client, or web client. These applications are designed to help you stay in control of your installation so you can take action on the go. For instance, it’s possible to respond with live audio to deter unwanted activity and perform system management so you can restart devices and manage retention times. What’s more, alert notifications are available in the mobile app and desktop client where users can also manage visitors by answering calls from intercoms.
