March Networks Presents New Cloud Storage at Intersec Dubai, Reducing Video Storage Costs by up to 80%

Latest product releases showcase new tiered cloud storage model paired with smarter video intelligence, security, and expanded edge hardware.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- March Networks®, a global leader in intelligent video surveillance, today announced the launch of Cloud Storage as part of its latest product and software release, showcased at Intersec Dubai. First introduced in December in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the solution is now available to customers worldwide.

Building on its existing cloud capabilities, the new flexible cloud storage model solves one of customers' most persistent challenges: securely retaining growing volumes of video without adding infrastructure and storage costs.

A Flexible and Scalable Cloud Storage Model Built for Cost and Control

As video retention requirements grow, traditional storage models often require frequent hardware expansion and rising operational overhead.

The latest release enhances March Networks cloud offerings with a cold storage model for long-term video archiving powered by AWS. Recent and frequently accessed video remains readily available for fast investigations, while older footage is securely archived using Amazon S3 Glacier to support low-cost, long-term video retention.

This tiered approach enables organizations to reduce long-term video storage costs by up to 80% over five years, while maintaining secure access to archived footage. Archived video is typically available within 12 to 48 hours. Once retrieved, footage can be reviewed and trimmed directly within the March Networks application, supporting higher-quality evidence handling and removing limits on the number of cameras that can be backed up.

"We have solved the number one problem businesses face today in video surveillance. Customers have been clear that long-term video retention is one of their biggest operational and cost challenges," said Jeff Corrall, Chief Product Officer at March Networks. "This release really improves the cost of video storage by aligning cost, performance, and access with how video is actually used."

Real-World Impact for Customers*

Traditional on-premise storage can drive video retention costs higher due to ongoing IT overhead, maintenance, and hardware life cycle replacement. One customer using on-premise storage for immediate access to recent video evaluated March Networks Cloud Storage to extend video retention without adding new hardware.

For 580 cameras generating approximately 5,600 TB of archived video, the cloud storage costs were an estimated $347,000 per year, compared to approximately $1.7 million to store the same volume of video on-premise. This hybrid solution made recent footage instantly available while significantly reducing long-term video retention costs.

Cloud & Software Enhancements

In addition to long-term cloud storage, the release introduces a broad set of software enhancements to support real-world operations, security, compliance, and safety use cases across industries. 

  • Improved AI Smart Search performance delivers a faster and more intuitive way for operations teams to find what matters most with natural language queries, time-based prompts, visual matching, and smarter alerts.
  • Attribute Search enhancements add zone-based precision to the feature, enabling sharper and faster investigations across more cameras, all securely on-prem.
  • A new Smart Rules Wizard simplifies the creation of real-time alert logic through guided, step-by-step configuration, reducing setup time and improving consistency.
  • Command Enterprise (CES) and Command Client enhancements improve usability and operational responsiveness with faster event filtering, expanded device compatibility, keyboard shortcuts, and real-time alarm monitoring.

New Cameras and Recording Hardware

The release also expands the March Networks edge portfolio with new and updated camera and recorder options, including:

  • EL5 Turret camera provides a cost-effective, high-quality camera designed for general surveillance. Offering 5MP video in fixed and motorized variations, it can be applied across commercial and retail environments.
  • AI12 360 camera enables immersive 360-degree coverage with fewer devices, improving situational awareness, reducing camera counts, and supporting efficient investigations.
  • EL5 Nano Dome camera is a compact, discreet indoor dome delivering 5MP video with built-in audio and intelligent analytics. It is ideal for high-traffic environments like quick service restaurants, retail stores, and financial institutions.
  • New EL 24- and 32-channel recorders deliver reliable, high-capacity all-IP recording for small-to-mid-sized deployments, while integrating seamlessly with March Networks cloud services for centralized management, analytics, and long-term storage.
  • Expanded support for additional camera models and third-party cameras through ONVIF helps customers apply advanced analytics across existing deployments.

Together, these hardware and software updates deliver a fully integrated, end-to-end video platform from the edge to the cloud, helping organizations modernize infrastructure, reduce storage costs, and unlock greater long-term value from their video data.

The welcoming new Central space is part of a series of new locations opening across Hong Kong in 2026.

HONG KONG, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Compass Offices, Hong Kong's leading flexible workspace provider, will open its newest business center at 9 Queen's Road Central (9 QRC) this July. Located on the 10th floor, the space is designed to meet the growing need for flexible, high-quality offices among Central's financial, legal, and professional firms. This opening follows the recent launch of Silvercord Tower 1 in Tsim Sha Tsui, marking another step in a busy year of new locations for Compass Offices in 2026.

A Prime Central Address with Great Connectivity

Located right in the heart of the business district, 9 QRC serves as an ideal home base for companies that value convenience and accessibility. The center sits next to major financial institutions and premier shopping landmarks like The Landmark.

For teams working with both local and global markets, commuting is simple:

  • The building connects directly to the Central Elevated Walkway system.
  • It is just a two-minute walk from Central MTR Exit K.
  • It sits a convenient five-minute walk from the Hong Kong Airport Express station, making business travel straightforward and easy.

Hospitality That Puts People First

Compass Offices focuses on a welcoming, hospitality-driven approach that goes well beyond providing standard desks and chairs. The goal is to create a supportive environment where people feel comfortable and can focus on doing their best work.

To help businesses grow their networks and host clients easily, the center combines high-spec boardrooms with versatile event spaces, all supported by a professional on-site team. Instead of just being an open room, these event spaces act as a natural extension of a company's own office. Renting large internal spaces can be costly, so businesses can use these shared areas to run client gatherings, workshops, or team events without the added overhead.

Compass also runs regular community event programs that help members naturally connect with industry peers, build B2B collaborations, and enjoy a variety of exclusive client perks and lifestyle privileges.

Supporting Business Growth and Flexibility

"Our growth in Hong Kong this year is focused on giving businesses high-quality, practical workspaces in the locations they need most," says Andrew Chung, Chairman of Compass Offices. "In a fast-moving market, having a prestigious Central address alongside the flexibility to scale your space up or down instantly is a huge advantage. This new center gives our clients the right workspace and a positive environment to grow comfortably."

The opening of the 9 QRC center offers a modern alternative to traditional, stiff office leases in Central. The workspace is fully ready for hybrid and agile ways of working, offering move-in-ready office suites that allow asset managers, international branches, and corporate teams to establish a prominent presence immediately.

The combination of flexible offices, shared communal hubs, and regular event programming creates a lively professional community where people can collaborate and build connections. With future-ready facilities and a friendly on-site team, Compass Offices makes it simple for companies to stay flexible while keeping team morale and productivity high.
