Ever-increasing storage demands due to camera proliferation, high-resolution video, and prolonged retention policies can break a companies budget. With Surveillance Bridge , only a small amount of high-performance local storage is needed to store links to months or years of camera data in the cloud. Organizations can quickly and seamlessly integrate extended storage for disaster recovery and storage extension and never run out of capacity.
Surveillance Bridge is a file system filter driver that installs in minutes and automatically starts replicating files to on-premises or cloud storage. Your VMS continues to record and playback to and from the local disk. Policies work in the background to reclaim valuable local space by replicating infrequently accessed data to cost-effective and scalable storage tiers as the local drive fills up. Your VMS always sees all data as local, so there are no changes in operations.
Surveillance Bridge is a software-only Hierarchical storage management (HSM) policy and tiering solution that transparently expands the XProtect VMS local volume to on-premises or public cloud storage, including object, NAS, or tape. The local file system is extended into additional storage by intelligently managing the placement of files based on user-defined policies. Surveillance Bridge policies control replication for fast access to local and target file copies.
Surveillance Bridge is the only solution that seamlessly merges information from live recording and archive drives. Surveillance Bridge automatically moves less accessed camera recordings from the highest-performance local storage to more affordable storage tiers. Users will always have access to the complete history of camera recordings by scrolling through the XProtect timeline.
Surveillance Bridge seamlessly retrieves recordings to XProtect and provides the fastest possible recovery in a disaster. All video and metadata needed to reconstruct your timeline can be made immediately available using Surveillance Bridge . Surveillance Bridge does not use proprietary formats when replicating your valuable data to the cloud. You will never suffer from vendor lock-in, and your data can always be retrieved.
