Buffalo Technology Announces Video Surveillance NAS Solution for Axis Cameras
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 10 September 2014 -- Buffalo Technology, a globally leading provider of network attached storage, external storage and networking solutions, today announced the availability of the first product in a series of optimised products exclusively for Axis network cameras. The TeraStation™ 5200 NVR comes pre-installed with an interface for the IP camera management software ‘AXIS Camera Companion’. The whole setup for the solution is done with this software. Cameras, Storage and Recording are being controlled by it, management including viewing and exporting recorded video material work with this tool. The device therefore provides a complete turnkey video surveillance network attached storage (NAS) solution, offering extremely quick setup in a few minutes, redundant managed storage and continuous recording for use in conjunction with Axis network cameras. Buffalo’s TeraStation NVR can record and archive video footage from up to 16 Axis network cameras, making it the ideal solution for small to medium businesses looking for an easy to use product, seamless installation and deployment of a reliable, all-in-one IP surveillance network with high storage capacity.
Smaller businesses, such as retail stores, restaurants, hotels or petrol stations, want to update their video surveillance infrastructure due to the rapid advancement and adoption of digital technology. However, some businesses and installers have delayed this transition because they value the simple plug-and-play functionality associated with traditional analog surveillance systems. To address this concern, Buffalo and Axis have developed a partnership to benefit businesses and resellers with a versatile, high-performance IP surveillance network that can be effortlessly set up, maintained and stored over long periods, as well as deliver the unrivalled benefits of IP video such as HDTV-quality recording.
“The TeraStation NVR comes fully populated with HDDs, pre-installed with AXIS Camera Companion interface and with pre-configured RAID mirroring. Installers save eight hours or more when setting up the device because the RAID is pre-tested. Therefore takes just a few minutes”, said Klaas de Vos, COO of Buffalo Technology Europe. “The TeraStation 5200 NVR with AXIS Camera Companion provides a feature-rich and cost-effective surveillance solution without complicated installation or advanced network configurations.”

• Pre-configured for easy installation within less than 20 minutes

One-Click Setup and Configuration
Axis Camera Companion software makes it easy to configure an Axis network camera to record to a NAS and can be used for live viewing and accessing recorded content. One-Click camera and NAS setup greatly simplifies the deployment of a camera network, determining the number of cameras on the network and allowing the user to select which cameras to manage. Once selected, Axis Camera Companion communicates with the NAS and automatically sets up users, quotas and specified shares, and then automatically configures the cameras to connect to the NAS. As a result, the installer never has to log into the NAS device or the cameras to have a fully functioning surveillance network with 3 cameras up and running in less than 20 minutes. Additionally, the system can operate with only the TeraStation 5200 NVR and the cameras running; no PC or server-based device is needed except for during setup or post-setup configuration and viewing.
“Buffalo’s focus and investment in the physical security market is an exceptional example of how traditional IT technology vendors are speeding up the convergence of analog CCTV to IP-based systems,” said Peter Friberg, Director of Solution Management at Axis Communications. “The combination of Axis network cameras with a pre-configured Buffalo NVR gives owners of small businesses or multiple branch locations a reliable, easy-to-use, high quality video surveillance solution that easily integrates with their existing infrastructure and budget.”
All-in-one support
Buffalo is providing full support for the surveillance solution. If installers face issues the Buffalo Helpdesk will not only provide service for the TeraStation NVR but will also provide support for the Axis cameras and software.
