MAKING MEDIA OUT OF IDEAS

Tiger Surveillance Bridge and HA

Integrated Suite of Plug-Ins for Milestone XProtect
Tiger Surveillance Bridge + Surveillance HA

Surveillance Bridge
When evidence is needed, it's already too late to discover the recording was overwritten, corrupted, or never saved, Surveillance Bridge is a software-only data protection for your VMS. it securely stores months or even years of video evidence in the cloud, a remote data center, or on tape without changing how your VMS or operators work.

100%
Evidence survives site-level failure, theft, or ransomware.

Zero
VMS Changes or workflow disruptions

Up to 80%
Savings vs. on-premises SAN/NAS expansion

Key Benefits

Full Evidence Protection
Store an off-site copy with independent credentials to ensure evidence survives even when the site doesn't

Dramatically Lower Cost per TB
Save up to 80% over on-premises SAN/NAS while extending retention from weeks to months or even years.

Hybrid Advantage - Better Than VSaaS
With VSaaS, an Internet outage will leave you blind. With Surveillance Bridge, all operations continue with only older recordings being temporarily unavailable.

Fates Possible Disaster Recovery
In a disaster, Surveillance Bridge quickly rebuilds your timeline, Recordings play back in real-time directly from any cloud provider or off-site storage.

Software-Only Solution
No appliances, no intermediary and no lock-in. Video is replicated directly to your desired cloud, NAS, or tape.

Seamless when Connectivity Fails
A modest 3 to 7 day local buffer will absorb outages without evidence loss. Automatic catch-up once connectivity returns.

How it Works!

01
Installs as Driver
Lightweight NTFS file system driver on your recording server. No VMS restart

02
Monitors Local Storage
Continuously monitors recording drives. keeps recent video hot and tiers older files off-site automatically

03
Replicates off-site
To public cloud ( AWS, Azure, Wasabi, etc. ), private NAS/data center, or tape - with retry logic to handle link disruptions.

04
VMS Sees it All as Locale
Operators work normally. Remote footage is accessible directly within the VMS - no special retrieval process required..
