Axis cloud storage for the cameras you already own.
Cube Cam is cloud storage for Axis Cameras — without a recorder, an adapter box, or a contract. The app runs on the Axis Camera itself and stores live view, events, and up to 7‑day continuous recording in your cloud, with face recognition and PPE detection built in. Install it yourself and you’re live in minutes.
Your footage, in your cloud — not locked in a box.
Most ways of getting Axis video into the cloud bolt on hardware or lock you into a VMS license. Because Axis Cameras run apps on the edge, Cube Cam skips all of that — the camera stores straight to your cloud, and you only pay per camera, month to month.
The usual way
- An NVR or plug-in "cloud adapter" to buy and maintain
- Cloud tied to a VMS license or a multi-year contract
- AI analytics sold as extra add-ons
- Footage stuck on hardware that can fail or be stolen
With Cube Cam
- Nothing to buy — the app runs on the camera you own
- Self-serve and month to month — no contract
- Face recognition and PPE detection included
- Events and recordings held redundantly in your cloud
Camera to cloud in three steps.
If you can install an app and copy a code, you can put your Axis Cameras on the cloud — no recorder in the middle.
Install the ACAP
Add the Cube Cam app to each Axis Camera straight from the camera’s own web interface. About a minute per camera.
Paste your claim code
Create an account and paste your claim code into the app. The camera binds itself to your cloud — no NVR, no port forwarding.
You’re live
Watch live, get AI event alerts, and pull any clip from anywhere — all in your browser.
Everything you’d want from the cloud — nothing you don’t.
Live view from anywhere
Open any camera in real time from any browser. No recorder, no VPN, no plugins.
Cloud recording, your call
Turn on 7‑day continuous cloud recording per camera, or keep continuous video on the camera’s SD card and store only the events that matter.
AI built in
Face recognition and PPE detection run on the edge and in your cloud — every event tagged and instantly searchable, no add-ons.
Durable event storage
Events and their metadata are saved redundantly in the cloud, so you keep them even if an SD card fails or a camera walks off.
Works with most modern Axis Cameras that support ACAP apps and have an SD card. Check your models.
Axis cloud storage — common questions
What is Axis cloud storage?
Axis cloud storage means keeping your Axis Camera video and events in the cloud instead of only on a local recorder or SD card. With Cube Cam, the app runs on the Axis Camera itself and sends video and events straight to your cloud — so you get live view, searchable events, and optional 7-day continuous recording without an NVR.
Do I need an NVR or a cloud adapter box?
No. Cube Cam is an ACAP app that runs on the Axis Camera, so there’s no recorder and no plug-in adapter to buy, power, or maintain. The camera connects out to your cloud on its own.
How much does Axis cloud storage cost?
Cube Cam is a flat monthly price per camera with no contract — $7 for cloud monitoring with events and AI, or $12 to add 7-day continuous cloud recording. Cancel anytime.
Will it work with my Axis Cameras?
Most modern Axis Cameras that support ACAP apps and have an SD card will work. Tell us your models and we’ll confirm.
Can I run it alongside my current NVR or VMS?
Yes. Cube Cam installs side-by-side and runs at the same time as your existing setup, so you can add cloud storage without ripping anything out.
