Product SKU: S1264
Product Overview
Rack-mounted enterprise surveillance storage becomes considerably more straightforward with the AXIS S1264, a 24TB network video recorder built to run AXIS Camera Station out of the box and integrate directly with AXIS network cameras from day one. Designed for organisations that cannot afford recording gaps or complex manual configuration, this NVR ships with storage pre-configured and software pre-installed, enabling deployment without the lengthy setup that typically accompanies enterprise-grade recording systems. Equipped with secure boot and encryption, it addresses the cybersecurity requirements common to government, healthcare, and corporate facilities. It also supports AI-powered analytics and remote monitoring, giving security operators real-time visibility across multiple sites from a central interface. With capacity for additional storage expansion, the S1264 suits deployments that are expected to grow in camera count or retention requirements over time. It is well suited to large-scale operations where uptime, data integrity, and integration with an existing AXIS ecosystem are the primary selection criteria.
Key Capabilities
24TB Pre-Configured Storage
Storage arrives ready to record, eliminating the time required to format, partition, or configure drives on-site. This matters on large deployments where installer time is a direct cost and any delay to go-live has operational consequences.
AXIS Camera Station Pre-Installed
With AXIS Camera Station loaded at the factory, the recorder connects to AXIS cameras and begins operation without additional software licensing steps at the time of installation, keeping the commissioning process lean and predictable.
Cybersecurity-Hardened Architecture
Secure boot and encryption are built into the system, protecting recorded footage and configuration data from unauthorised access. This is a critical requirement for facilities operating under privacy legislation or handling sensitive surveillance data.
AI-Powered Analytics and Remote Monitoring
Operators can access real-time insights and manage the system remotely, reducing the need for on-site security personnel to actively monitor every feed. Analytics support allows events to be flagged and reviewed without manual footage scrubbing.
Scalable for Growing Deployments
The S1264 supports additional storage and camera expansion, making it a practical foundation for facilities that plan to add camera positions or increase retention periods as their security requirements develop over time.
Best For
- Enterprise and Corporate Facilities: The rack-mounted form factor and 24/7 design suit IT room or server room deployment in offices, campuses, and multi-building corporate environments.
- Healthcare and Government Sites: Secure boot and encryption satisfy data protection obligations in environments where footage confidentiality and system integrity are mandated.
- Existing AXIS Camera Ecosystems: Organisations already running AXIS cameras benefit from seamless integration with AXIS Camera Station without additional compatibility testing or middleware.
- Large-Scale Deployments Requiring Long Retention: 24TB of pre-configured storage supports extended recording periods across high-resolution camera networks, reducing the frequency of manual storage management.
Why Choose the AXIS S1264
The AXIS S1264 stands apart from generic network recorders through its factory-ready configuration: 24TB of storage pre-configured, AXIS Camera Station pre-installed, and cybersecurity features including secure boot and encryption built in from the start. A standard NVR at this tier requires manual software installation, drive formatting, and compatibility verification before a single camera can be added. The S1264 removes those steps and delivers a system that is ready to commission on arrival. The support for AI-powered analytics and remote monitoring adds operational value beyond simple recording, enabling centralised oversight of large camera networks without continuous on-site staffing. For security managers and integrators who work within AXIS ecosystems and need a recorder that meets enterprise uptime and security standards, the S1264 is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the professional AXIS Communications range.
Buyer Decision Tips
Storage and Retention Planning: 24TB supports extended recording across multiple high-resolution cameras, but the actual retention period depends on the number of cameras, their resolution, frame rate, and whether continuous or motion-triggered recording is used. Calculate your expected daily storage consumption across all connected cameras before finalising this recorder to confirm the 24TB capacity meets your required retention window.
AXIS Ecosystem Dependency: The AXIS S1264 is optimised for use with AXIS network cameras and AXIS Camera Station software. If your installation mixes AXIS cameras with cameras from other manufacturers, verify compatibility with AXIS Camera Station before deployment to ensure all connected cameras record and display as expected within the management interface.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are deploying within an existing AXIS camera ecosystem, require 24TB of ready-to-use recording storage, and need a rack-mounted NVR with AXIS Camera Station pre-installed and cybersecurity features including secure boot and encryption built in.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation includes a mix of cameras from multiple manufacturers that may not integrate fully with AXIS Camera Station, or if your storage requirement is significantly smaller and a compact desktop NVR would be a more cost-appropriate fit for the site.
- Consider lead time: The AXIS S1264 carries a 19-day lead time. If your project has an urgent commissioning deadline, confirm availability and order timing before finalising this recorder in your design.
FAQs
- Does the AXIS S1264 come with AXIS Camera Station pre-installed?
Yes. AXIS Camera Station is factory-installed on the S1264, which means the recorder is ready to connect to AXIS cameras and begin operation without requiring a separate software installation step on-site. This reduces commissioning time significantly on large deployments.
- What does 24TB of pre-configured storage mean in practice?
It means the drives are formatted and ready to record from the moment the unit is powered and connected. You do not need to format, partition, or configure the storage manually. The actual retention period you achieve will depend on the number of cameras, their resolution, frame rate settings, and whether you record continuously or on motion triggers.
- Is the S1264 suitable for rack installation in a server room?
Yes. The S1264 is a rack-mounted unit, designed to be installed in a standard IT rack enclosure. This makes it appropriate for server rooms, communications cabinets, and security control rooms where rack infrastructure is already in place.
- What cybersecurity features does the S1264 include?
The S1264 includes secure boot and encryption as built-in security measures. Secure boot ensures the system only loads verified software at startup, while encryption protects stored footage from unauthorised access. These features are particularly relevant for facilities with data protection obligations, such as healthcare, government, and financial services environments.
- Can the S1264 support additional storage beyond the included 24TB?
Yes. The S1264 is designed to support storage expansion, making it a practical long-term investment for sites that anticipate growth in camera count or need to extend their footage retention period as their security infrastructure develops.
- How long is the lead time for the AXIS S1264, and where can I order it?
The AXIS S1264 carries a 19-day lead time, so it should be ordered well in advance of your planned commissioning date. It is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the professional AXIS Communications NVR range, supplied to integrators and security professionals across Australia.
