How the Bridge Technology Works
We Speak Surveillance
With significant expertise in on-premises deployments, Tiger Surveillance understands the factors that slow down cloud transformation as well as its tremendous potential for surveillance. The company’s flagship product, Surveillance Bridge, enables customers to adopt the cloud for unlimited capacity and disaster recovery thus optimizing costs & resources and extending retention times.
How We Solved This Public Safety Problem
A US public safety state department was dealing with limited on-premises storage capacity that prevented extending video retention periods and so compromised public safety and criminal investigations. The department may have faced regulatory penalties if they had failed to meet new multi-year retention mandates. By leveraging Surveillance Bridge, they reduced on-premises retention to just 30 days and utilized AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive for archiving, ensuring compliance with retention mandates and effective investigations. The cost-effective solution eliminated the need for costly upgrades and associated operational challenges.
How We Solved This Convention & Exhibition Industry Problem
A US convention center was struggling with aging hardware, off-site data management, and limited backup solutions, hindering their ability to ensure the safety and security of their guests. Surveillance Bridge allowed them to transition to a leaner infrastructure, storing camera data securely in an off-site location while only keeping the most recent footage local. This reduced costs and complexities associated with maintaining an on-premises system, while ensuring valuable footage is protected in the event of a disaster.
How We Solved This County Problem
A large US county faced the challenge of retaining video data for up to 10 years to address election fraud claims. With Surveillance Bridge, the county extended their video surveillance retention period by seamlessly integrating their existing VMS with the cloud. They can now retain their data for 180 days locally, with a Disaster Recovery copy stored in AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive for up to 10 years. The scalable and secure approach ensures compliance with litigation requirements and facilitates effective criminal investigations, saving costs and ensuring data security.
How We Solved This Airport Problem
A large South American airport needed a reliable cloud infrastructure for their new cloud-based surveillance system to enhance security, passenger safety, and operational efficiency. Surveillance Bridge was designed to operate efficiently in AWS EC2 instances, seamlessly extending expensive AWS EBS storage to lower-cost AWS S3 storage. The airport saved costs while storing data in a more durable object store, preventing data loss, system downtime, and compromised security, which could result in significant financial and reputational damage.
Achieve Unprecedented Availability, Scalability & Durability
Keeping up with an ever-increasing number of cameras, camera resolutions, and retention periods may require an exponential increase in local storage. High Availability and seamless failover are also becoming critical to business continuity for many organizations with varying surveillance needs.
Tiger Surveillance was born to be a powerful ally in optimizing already available assets, extending them to the cloud, providing unmatched disaster recovery capabilities, and gaining surveillance insights like never before – with remarkable flexibility and sensitivity to industry-specific challenges.

Customer-focused Engineering
The Tiger Surveillance Bridge technology is designed with mission-critical on-premises-first deployments in mind. Its pillars are no disruption, no vendor lock-in, no complexities, and cost optimization. To achieve this, we have built capabilities that ensure our customers’ long-term business goals are met with easy and transparent management of VMS storage.
Integrated at File System Level
Integrated at File System Level
Unlike other solutions on the market that sit on top of the system or require additional hardware or virtualization, our technology integrates into the Windows file system. While your team is working, automatic policies operate transparently in the background to dynamically track local data and replicate it to the cloud.
Smart Stub File Technology
Smart Stub File Technology
Once recordings are moved to the cloud, stub files containing metadata only are kept locally. The VMS continues to record and playback to/from the local disk and always sees recordings as local so there are no changes in operations. Data is automatically retrieved from the cloud on demand.
Native File Formats in Any Cloud Tier
Native File Formats in Any Cloud Tier
The Bridge technology uses non-proprietary formats to ensure customer data is never locked into a single vendor for greater flexibility at no extra cost. Significant cost optimization is achieved by dynamically assigning infrequently accessed data to archive cloud tiers that represent as little as 5% of the cost of immediate access tiers.
