I-View Now has partnered with Axis Communications, the market leader in network video surveillance, to expand its hosted video offering to include cloud hosted and central station monitored video with the release of I-View Cloud service.

AXIS Video Hosting System (AVHS) is a unique solution that brings together’ Hosting Providers with Axis’ wide range of network cameras. This pairing gives service providers the ability to offer customers a video monitoring service over the Internet.

The joint offering is a central station monitored service. From a single installation the dealer can now offer Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS), Guard Tours, Device Monitoring and Video Alarm Verification (VAV). I-View Now supervises camera status (online, offline and tamper), network-attached storage (NAS) devices, as well as stores the recorded data.

Video is streamed to the cloud and connected to the central station for professional monitoring. This hosted video solution minimizes the client’s investment to cameras or encoders and an internet connection.

Larry Folsom, the President of I-View Now stated that “We are very excited to add this service to our central station video interface. Cloud stored video has matured as a service and product offering and coupling those benefits with central station monitoring is a true game changer.”

“In our efforts to provide smarter solutions, Axis has been working in conjunction with I-View Now to combine our hosted video managed services offering for some time,” said Scott Dunn, director of business development, Axis Communications, Inc. “The release of this powerful and innovative joint solution will enable partners in the central station alarm arena to offer their customers an easy to use yet state of the art video verification and hosted video solution.”

This solution is ideal for low camera count sites in single or multiple locations such as small businesses, convenience stores, gas stations, and retail stores. Never worry about the DVR or local storage device failing again.

The I-View Cloud service provides the dealer with new opportunities to protect your clients as well as new sources of reoccurring revenue from Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS), Guard Tours, Device Monitoring, and Video Alarm Verification (VAV) from one installation.

About I-View Now
Central Station Video Interface
I-View Now is a patented cloud based video verification service that relates alarm events with video clips from off the shelf security systems, DVRs, NVRs, Videofied and IP cameras. All video plays for the operator in our universal player and all operator actions are stored in the event history of the central station software. I-View Now is a true integration of video and central station software.

When an alarm is triggered, the operator can view a clip of what caused the alarm as well as live view the facility. Simultaneously, a text message or email can be sent to the end user so they can view the same actionable video (event clip and live view) on their mobile device or computer. They can even select a button to call the central station if they choose too. I-View Now removes the guessing games of what caused the system to go into alarm, allowing for quick and direct police dispatch.
