STVS x Axis: a rewarding technical and human alliance

A shared history of pragmatic visionaries
The story between STVS and Axis begins long before titles and certifications. As early as the 2000s, our CEOs Antoine Ody and Olivier Revillard tested the brand's first IP cameras in their Geneva caféA founding step aside, which has now become recognized expertise: that of implementing Axis Communications® IP sensors in the most demanding contexts, from long-term construction sites to sensitive sites, from the smart city to the banking sector.
This relationship is built on a solid technical foundation. STVS is one of the few Axis Solution Gold Partners in Switzerland, with over 2,000 projects integrating Axis components in French-speaking Switzerland. Q1798 cameras for wind tunnel testing, embedded analytics, video encoding: each solution is chosen, adjusted, and tested with a focus on relevance and durability. Here, loyalty isn't about the label, but about the perfect match between tool, use, and field.
A recognition that recognizes the intelligence of interaction
The title of "Swiss Partner of the Year 2024" doesn't reward a static company. It recognizes a way of integrating, anticipating, and collaborating daily with Axis teams to create more effective solutions together. At the heart of this relationship: interconnection.
STVS doesn't just integrate Axis cameras into its systems. It designs comprehensive architectures where Axis equipment interacts with business software, proprietary interfaces, and PSIM monitoring platforms. This ability to unify systems, making them readable and usable in real time, is at the heart of our differentiation. It allows, for example, to exploit behavioral detection or anomaly analysis in critical environments, without overloading the infrastructure.
Regular exchanges with Axis teams – whether in pre-sales, technical support or co-development – allow us to develop prototypes, adapt configurations to field constraints, and above all, remain actively monitoring new generations of products.
Forty years of Axis, a partnership looking to the future
This recognition comes as Axis Communications celebrates its 40th anniversary, highlighting the importance of strong partnerships in shaping the future of data-driven video surveillance. Axis Partnertag 2024 focused on themes such as digital transformation, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, and artificial intelligence, reflecting the areas in which STVS and Axis collaborate closely.
By integrating advanced Axis solutions, STVS demonstrates its ability to adapt technological innovations to the specific needs of its customers, thus strengthening security and operational efficiency in the field. This partnership exemplifies how strategic collaboration can lead to intelligent and sustainable security solutions, addressing contemporary challenges while anticipating future industry developments.
More than a partner, a strategic teammate
The relationship between STVS and Axis is also based on a rare human connection. It's no coincidence that Axis praised, in its speech, the quality of the dialogue, the reliability of the field feedback, and the team spirit shared by STVS. Behind every project, every configuration, every intervention, there are faces, technicians, specialists who work together – and who understand each other.
This recognition comes at a key moment: that of a strong repositioning of STVS, with a new identity, a strengthened team, a strong vision. It reminds us that behind every label, there is a constant demand, a sustained curiosity, a desire to do better – together. And it is this alliance, between field vision and embedded technology, that makes the collaboration between STVS and Axis so fluid, so fruitful, and today, so rightly celebrated.
