EYEfi Group Technologies Inc. announced the pre-launch of its VSaaS (Video Software as a Service) product, EYEfi Cloud Connect. EYEfi will be featuring at this week's ASIAL to provide a sneak preview of EYEfi's new camera cloud service, to its national distributors. Two large distributors, Dicker Data and VSP Solutions, have already signed with more distributors expected to follow shortly.

EYEfi previously signed a partnership agreement with Axis Communications, one of the world's largest developers and distributors of a highly sophisticated IP network of cameras used in the large enterprise, government, and consumer market segments. The agreement with Axis Communications is providing EYEfi with access to a large network of distributors and resellers in Australia and New Zealand that collectively have hundreds of thousands of camera installations. Axis end-customers wanting to connect their cameras to the internet and cloud platforms, would typically involve complex third-party providers and disparate technologies.

In response, Axis Communications collaborated with EYEfi to build a VSaaS cloud platform, powered by EYEfi's cloud technology. The strategic agreement with EYEfi will enable Axis's customers, partners, and systems integrators, to seamlessly activate, monitor, and control their cameras on the internet. EYEfi's commercial model is uniquely differentiated in the market, providing EYEfi, distributors and resellers of the product with monthly recurring subscription fees for each camera that connects to the EYEfi Cloud Connect platform.

EYEfi Cloud Connect will officially launch in the coming weeks (date to be announced shortly) and EYEfi is working with large distributors to introduce the product into other regions around the world following the launch here in Australia and New Zealand.
