What Our People Say

"Wavestore's culture of constant improvement and collaboration makes it a unique place to work. Here, innovation is not just encouraged—it's a way of life." - Jane Doe, Developer

6 things you'll walk away knowing

WaveFusion is not an add-on. It's a platform.

Access control and video share a single API, a single event stream, and a single file system. No middleware. No translation layer. One browser-based interface for every user.

Mercury controllers make decisions locally.

If the cloud connection drops, doors keep working. Events queue on the controller and sync automatically when connectivity returns. There is no single point of failure that locks people out.

The API is GraphQL — open and documented.

You choose what data comes back in each response. Smaller payloads, flexible querying, and full support for custom integrations and cardholder automation.

Migration doesn't require a rip-and-replace.

If you're on Mercury hardware and ONVIF cameras, you configure the site in the cloud before cutting over. The disruption window is minutes, not weeks.

Video retrieval is instant — even from years ago.

Wavestore's proprietary LASS file system enables ultra-fast playback from any point in the archive. Smart search lets you query metadata retrospectively instead of scrubbing through footage.

Self-serve licensing removes deployment friction.

Need more readers? Add them instantly. No purchase orders, no activation delays, no phone calls. Licensing is live in the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Wavestore choose a GraphQL API instead of standard REST endpoints?

While our product pages highlight an "open API," the specific choice of GraphQL gives developers granular control over data. Instead of returning full, heavy payloads like REST, GraphQL allows your IT team to request exactly the fields they need for cardholder management or custom reporting, making integrations significantly faster and more efficient.

What is the practical hardware limit for card formats during a complex migration?

While the WaveFusion platform itself has no hard limit on card formats per site—meaning you can configure as many as your transition requires—the practical ceiling is set by the Mercury hardware. A single controller can typically hold 16 active card formats. WaveFusion handles this by allowing you to configure formats globally and assign them selectively to specific controllers as needed.

Do I need proprietary cameras to achieve "unified" video and access?

No. While WaveFusion works seamlessly with Wavestore Vision cameras, the integration is truly open. You can connect any ONVIF-compliant camera to the platform. Your existing hardware investment isn't just protected on the access control side (Mercury/HID), but on the video side as well.

Does WaveFusion support SSO (Single Sign-On) for operators and administrators?**

SSO with Entra ID (Azure AD) is a confirmed roadmap focus. While not available out-of-the-box today, we are actively targeting Microsoft Entra ID integration to streamline operator authentication and align with enterprise IT identity policies.

How does Wavestore's LASS technology differ from standard video storage OS file systems?

Most standard OS video file systems become fragmented and slow down as they fill up, delaying historical video retrieval. Wavestore’s proprietary Large Allocation Storage System (LASS) writes sequentially, preventing fragmentation. This means forensic retrieval is nearly instantaneous, whether the footage is from yesterday or five years ago, making the "pivot from live monitoring to historical footage in milliseconds" a reality.
