Cozaint, a company in video surveillance solutions, launched ALICE1, a self-contained video surveillance recording and storage system designed to provide businesses with decades of video retention. By leveraging Linear Tape Open (LTO) technology with a cloud-based search platform, ALICE1 is designed to make it possible for organizations to store unlimited video footage.

Surveillance cameras are recording in higher resolution than ever before, but the cost of retaining video for the required time by regulators is skyrocketing. For industries such as cannabis, gaming, healthcare, and retail, failing to maintain long-term archives can result in fines, license loss, frivolous litigation, or compliance violations.

ALICE1 addresses cost challenges with a simple, scalable approach: each LTO8 tape costs under $70, can record petabytes of video, and last up to 30 years.

With ALICE1, multi-location businesses can record video locally, send tapes to a central archive and retrieve footage using Cozaint’s cloud-based search tool with no manual hunting required.
