March Networks Unveils Cloud Storage at Intersec Dubai, Cutting Video Storage Costs by 80%
Innovative Cloud Storage Solution
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 12, 2026 — March Networks, a leader in intelligent video surveillance solutions, has announced the launch of its new Cloud Storage service during the Intersec Dubai trade show. This release, initially unveiled in December in partnership with a major cloud provider, aims to provide organizations with an efficient way to manage increasing video storage demands while significantly reducing costs.
The newly launched cloud storage model addresses a common challenge faced by businesses: the need to securely retain vast amounts of video data without the burden of escalating hardware and infrastructure expenditures.
Cost-effective and Scalable Storage Model
As organizations strive to meet growing video retention requirements, traditional storage solutions often necessitate costly hardware upgrades and increased operational efforts. The latest Cloud Storage offering enhances March Networks’ existing cloud capabilities with a tiered storage model that accommodates both short-term and long-term video archiving.
Recent and frequently accessed footage is easily available for quick investigations, while older content is securely archived using long-term cloud storage solutions. This dual approach not only ensures secure access to archived video footage but also allows organizations to reduce their video storage costs by up to 80% over a five-year period, making it a compelling option for businesses.
Real-world Impact for Organizations
One significant advantage of moving to cloud storage is the reduction of costs associated with traditional on-premise solutions. Businesses often face increased expenses due to ongoing IT maintenance, hardware lifecycle replacements, and storage expansion. One case study illustrates this impact: A customer with 580 cameras generating approximately 5,600 TB of archived video estimated their annual cloud storage costs at $347,000, a stark contrast to the $1.7 million required for on-premise storage of the same video volume.
This transition to a hybrid solution not only allows immediate access to recent footage but also significantly lessens long-term storage costs, positioning organizations to better manage their resources.
Enhanced Software Features
In addition to the new cloud storage model, March Networks has rolled out a series of software enhancements to improve operational efficiency, security, compliance, and safety across various industries.
AI Smart Search Enhancements
The updated AI Smart Search feature offers a faster, more intuitive way for operational teams to locate critical video footage. Users can now perform searches using natural language queries, visual matching, and time-based prompts, improving overall effectiveness in investigations.
Attribute Search Improvements
Recent improvements to the Attribute Search functionality enable more precise, zone-based queries. This enhancement facilitates quicker investigations across a broader range of cameras, ensuring that organizations can efficiently respond to incidents.
Simplified Alert Creation with Smart Rules Wizard
A newly introduced Smart Rules Wizard simplifies the creation of real-time alert configurations. This guided, step-by-step setup process not only improves consistency but also reduces the time required to implement custom alerts.
Enhanced Usability in Command Interfaces
Updates to the Command Enterprise and Command Client systems focus on usability and operational responsiveness. Features like faster event filtering, expanded device compatibility, and real-time alarm monitoring streamline workflow, benefitting users in varied operational settings.
Expanded Camera and Recording Options
March Networks has also broadened its range of edge hardware with several new camera and recorder options ideal for diverse surveillance applications.
EL5 Turret Camera
The EL5 Turret camera offers a cost-effective solution that provides high-quality 5MP video. Suitable for both fixed and motorized setups, it is versatile enough for general surveillance across various commercial and retail environments.
AI12 360-Degree Camera
Designed for comprehensive coverage, the AI12 360 camera allows organizations to enhance situational awareness while reducing the number of cameras required. This efficient design supports improved investigative capabilities for incidents.
EL5 Nano Dome Camera
The EL5 Nano Dome camera provides a discreet option for indoor use, delivering 5MP video along with integrated audio and intelligent analytics. It is particularly well-suited for high-traffic areas such as retail outlets and financial institutions.
New Recording Solutions
The introduction of new 24- and 32-channel recorders offers reliable high-capacity all-IP recording, designed specifically for small to mid-sized deployments. These devices integrate seamlessly with cloud services to facilitate centralized management and long-term storage.
Support for Additional Camera Models
The expanded support for third-party cameras through ONVIF enhances interoperability. This ensures that customers can leverage advanced analytics across their existing surveillance setups, maximizing the overall effectiveness of their systems.
Conclusion
The recent product releases from March Networks signify a transformative step in video surveillance technology. By incorporating cutting-edge cloud storage solutions, enhanced software features, and an expanded hardware portfolio, the company is assisting organizations in modernizing their infrastructure, drastically cutting storage costs, and extracting greater value from their video data.
