    Article Summary

    WSC is designed to replicate your camera data to the Wasabi cloud. It can be used with virtually all VMS software that runs on a Windows OS.

    1. You must point WSC to one or more camera repositories. 

    2. Select the folder you want to sync with the cloud or create a New Folder.
      A folder whose parent folder is already paired with a target cannot be used as a new source.

    3. Click OK.
    4. Enter your WSC storage account API keys. Then, click List Buckets. WSC will display the buckets that are available on this account.

      Make sure you choose a different bucket for every repository of every recording server.
    5. If the bucket name is available, the following selection dialog will open. Choose the operation you want to perform. If your bucket is empty, all options will yield to the same result.

    6. Click OK to initiate the desired operation. Then, click Apply.
    7. Select Wasabi Surveillance Cloud at the top. Then, click Resume at the bottom (as shown below) to set WSC to Operational mode.


    Congratulations! You successfully configured WSC. Seconds after they are closed by the VMS software, camera data files from your source folder will automatically start replicating to the cloud.

    When navigating your camera repository, you should now see the following file/folder icons, depending on the selected team account(s), reader(s), and/or security group(s):
