Storage is a great challenge in a CWS project due to the camera counts and retention times that are required in this type of applications, proof of this are the "petabytes" projects that Anixter has worked together with its business partners generating knowledge and experience to advise our customers from the design stage to the implementation of the solutions, for this we have a wide portfolio of solutions with the aim of delivering a value proposition to our customers and so they can choose the one best suited to their needs.

Governments, from the municipal and national level, have seen the benefit of "intelligent video" technology to their security initiatives and in order to materialize these benefits we must get involved early in the specification, for this Anixter can advise its integrators in the design stages, alignment of the correct solutions of each manufacturer, implementation and support in reliable CWS solutions and if the project requires it to involve our "supply chain" services.
