AXIS Camera Station

Enterprise Video Management, Unified and Built to Scale

AXIS Camera Station Pro is a powerful, server-based Video Management System (VMS) designed for organisations that demand a comprehensive, scalable, and cybersecure surveillance platform. Supporting the full Axis portfolio — including network cameras, intercoms, body-worn cameras, speakers, and analytics — as well as third-party ONVIF-compliant devices, it gives organisations the flexibility to build the right private network solution with optional cloud connectivity. At its core, the platform unifies live video monitoring, recorded footage management, and access control in a single interface, supporting up to 1,000 doors per server and 10,000 cardholders — each with up to five credentials — across multi-server environments of up to 64 servers. Investigations are accelerated by AI-powered Smart Search and free-text search, which allows operators to describe any moving object in natural language — including specific characteristics like clothing or logos — with all video data processed locally on the server to support regulatory compliance. Developed under Axis’s Security Development Model (ASDM), the platform employs built-in cybersecurity features including HTTPS and signed video, alongside system health monitoring that provides real-time device status notifications. Accessible via Windows client, web browser, or mobile app on Android and iOS, licensing is straightforward with no hidden costs — available as lifetime recorder-bundled licences or flexible 1- or 5-year standalone options.

Serverless Surveillance, Simplified for Any Business

AXIS Camera Station Edge is a camera-to-cloud Video Management System (VMS) that eliminates the need for a dedicated on-premises server, making it one of the most cost-effective and straightforward surveillance solutions available. Rather than relying on centralised server infrastructure, Edge processes and stores video directly on Axis devices — using Axis SD cards or the AXIS S30 Recorder Series — significantly reducing IT complexity, operational costs, and total cost of ownership. The software is tightly integrated with AXIS Object Analytics, enabling AI-driven detection of people, vehicles, and suspicious behaviours directly at the camera, with customisable alert notifications designed to minimise false alarms. Operators can monitor live feeds, review timeline-based recordings, respond with live audio, and manage visitor intercom calls — all from a desktop client, web client, or mobile app on Android and iOS. Designed with cybersecurity at its core, Edge includes built-in HTTPS, signed video, and full system encryption as standard, with automatic software updates ensuring devices are always running the latest firmware and security patches. Licenses are included at no additional cost with all compatible Axis products, making it simple to get started and easy to scale — adding cameras and sites as business needs grow. For organisations that want capable, intelligent surveillance without the overhead of a traditional server-based VMS, AXIS Camera Station Edge delivers a powerful and future-ready solution.

Secure, Off-Site Video Storage — Accessible Anywhere, Anytime

AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage is a fully managed, subscription-based add-on service that complements both AXIS Camera Station Edge and AXIS Camera Station Pro installations, providing secure, off-site cloud redundancy for video recordings. Fully maintained by Axis, the service requires no complex cloud setup from the customer — Axis manages the infrastructure and ensures the service remains continuously updated and supported. Each annual licence covers one camera and includes 30 days of video retention at 720p resolution and 15 frames per second, with the flexibility to increase resolution to 1080p or extend retention periods by combining multiple licences. All video data is encrypted at rest, stored in the customer’s selected geographic region, and protected by two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorised access. Axis Zipstream technology actively reduces the volume of data being streamed to the cloud, keeping bandwidth and storage requirements to a minimum without any compromise to image quality. The service is accessible at any time through the AXIS Camera Station web client, providing operators with remote access to footage regardless of where the physical hardware is located — critically, this means recordings remain safe and retrievable even in the event of on-site hardware failure, theft, or physical damage. For organisations seeking a straightforward, fully managed layer of storage resilience that integrates seamlessly into their existing Axis surveillance ecosystem, AXIS Camera Station Cloud Storage delivers exactly that.
