Scales without surprises

Feature

Seat-free licensing

Priced per camera and per reader, with no per-operator seat costs.

Benefits
01

Costs that hold

Add operators, control rooms and sites without renegotiating.

02

Two ways in

Keep your existing Mercury controllers and avoid a rip-and-replace project, or buy controllers, readers and ONVIF cameras together for a new build.

03

Budgeting you can plan

A subscription with evergreen updates replaces periodic upgrade projects.

Other unified platforms
  • Seat costs that climb as the team grows
  • Separate module licences, each adding a line item
  • Total cost that drifts from the original quote
WaveFusion
  • Per camera and per reader, nothing else
  • No operator seat costs as the team grows
  • No module add-ons for video, access, or data

Fewer moving parts to run

Feature

One platform, one update cycle

Video and access share one event bus, so there is no integration layer to build, test and re-test.

One event busBrowser-basedGraphQL API

Benefits
01

Nothing to re-qualify

No integration to retest after a firmware or version update.

02

Fits your estate

Browser-based with no client installs, and a documented GraphQL API for your existing systems.

03

A lighter IT burden

Evergreen updates keep the platform current with less manual upgrading.

Other unified platforms
  • A unified screen over separate applications and databases
  • Several update cycles, each requalified against the others
  • Middleware or partner products that someone must maintain
WaveFusion
  • Every device is a native participant on one shared event bus
  • One update cycle for video and access
  • One documented GraphQL API across access, video and alarms

A smaller attack surface by design

Feature

Security you can inspect

Built on hardened Linux, patched on a steady cadence, with disclosures published openly.

Benefits
01

Disclosed openly

Security disclosures are published on our certifications and trust page.

02

A clean origin

Engineered in North America and Europe, and NDAA Section 889 compliant when hardware is purchased through Wavestore.

03

Short exposure windows

Security updates ship about every three weeks, so issues are closed quickly.

Other unified platforms
  • General-purpose operating systems carry the full commodity exploit surface
  • Patch and disclosure practices that vary from vendor to vendor
  • Certified hardware lists that can include restricted manufacturers
WaveFusion
  • Hardened Linux, patched about every three weeks
  • Disclosures published on a public trust page

Consistent operations at every site

Feature

Always-on operations

Doors and video recording keep working locally if the network drops, and one interface runs every site.

Local decisioningEvent-to-actionOne interface

Benefits
01

Continuity you can bank on

Access decisions and recording carry on during a network outage, with no manual intervention.

02

Faster, consistent response

Automation rules lock zones, notify teams and escalate the same way every time.

03

One way of working

Operators learn one interface at every site and hand over one record between shifts.

Other unified platforms
  • Cloud-dependent designs that degrade when the link drops
  • Undefined failover when access control is integrated
  • Operators hopping between windows during an incident
WaveFusion
  • Edge controllers decide locally, independent of the WAN
  • Automation rules span video and access on one event bus
  • A highly available cloud layer for multi-site visibility
Security

Confidence on every shift

Feature

One screen, from event to evidence

Alarms, door events, identity and video appear together in one browser-based interface.

Benefits
01

Faster investigations

Move from an event to the camera, the footage and the person in one interface.

02

Fewer blind spots

One real-time view across every site, with no window-hopping.

03

Evidence you can trust

Purpose-built video storage protects footage from loss and corruption, even through power failures.

Other unified platforms
  • A dashboard that connects separate systems
  • Context lost when operators switch screens mid-incident
  • General-purpose storage that can fragment over time
WaveFusion
  • Video, door events, credentials and alarms converge on one screen
  • Every action linked to the right person, permissions and video
  • Every image indexed, so playback is near-instant at scale
Data protection

One search for subject access requests

Feature

One dataset, one audit trail

Every action is linked to the right person, permissions and video context.

One datasetOne audit trailVideo stays local
Book a demo

Benefits
01

Find it once

Identity, access events and video share one dataset, so a request means one search, not several.

02

A clear audit trail

One consistent audit trail across access and video supports compliance reviews.

03

Footage stays where you decide

Video is stored locally at the edge, with the cloud used for identity, metadata and control signals.

Other unified platforms
  • Separate databases to search for the same person
  • An audit trail assembled across systems after the event
  • Compliance posture that depends on integration choices
WaveFusion
  • One dataset for badge events, identity and footage
  • One audit trail, from event to evidence
  • Sovereignty Edge: video kept on your own infrastructure
CMO

Insight from one dataset

Feature

An open API for your BI tools

Door events, alarms, reports and camera metadata are available to the tools your teams already use.

Benefits
01

Decisions on real usage

Consistent reporting supports planning for space and workforce.

02

No roadmap wait

Pull the data you need now, instead of waiting for a vendor to build it.

03

Ask once

Identity and video are the same data, so one query replaces joining two APIs.

Other unified platforms
  • Data in separate modules with separate interfaces
  • Data moving through middleware or partner ecosystems
  • A translation layer at every join that can break after updates
WaveFusion
  • Ask for exactly the fields you need with GraphQL
  • One API over one platform, not several
  • Queries across access, people, video, alarms and reports

The executive question

When something happens, how many systems do you open?

WaveFusion answers with one record: the event, the footage, the cardholder and the alarm history, together.

One dataset

Video, access control, intrusion and IoT share one event bus and one database.

One truth

The event, the footage, the cardholder and the alarm history arrive as a single record.

Faster, more confident decisions

Nobody lines up timestamps across two systems or two vendors’ logs.

We size each line against your estate in a first working session.

Your starting point

Keep your hardware, or start fresh

Already running Mercury? Upgrade the software

1

Check

Send us your camera and controller models. We confirm what works, in writing, before you commit.

2

Repoint

Existing Mercury controllers stay in place and move to WaveFusion through a controller-only upgrade path. Upgrade the doors that matter first with encrypted OSDP Secure Channel readers.

3

Unify

Any ONVIF-compliant camera and your existing readers join one platform. Camera analytics push metadata to the platform over ONVIF.

Planning a new or expanded system? Build it new

1

Specify

Tell the Wavestore team what your project needs. More products are available on request.

2

Order

Buy Mercury controllers, interface panels, HID readers and credentials with ONVIF-compliant Wavestore Vision cameras in the same order. Cameras run from 4MP to 32MP.

3

Install

Certified integrators or partners install the system and bring it onto WaveFusion.

Upgrade what you have, or build new. One platform either way.

Rollout

Rolled out in phases, not in one go

Weeks 1 to 3

Pilot a low-risk site

Controller connectivity, cardholder import and policy accuracy are validated first.

Weeks 4 to 10

Replicate, then scale

The pilot is repeated at a second site, then at the largest site, floor by floor.

Weeks 11 to 13

Highest-security site last

A longer parallel run and strict change control protect the most sensitive site.

Weeks 14 to 16

Optimise

Reporting dashboards and mobile credentials are added and the old platform is retired.

Example plan for a four-site estate. Smaller sites are quicker, and your risk approach sets the pace. Existing Mercury controllers stay in place. New installations are delivered by certified integrators or partners. Training is online and paced by each person, with tips in the product.
