WHERE YOURSIX CONSTRAINS

One camera vendor. One bundled monitoring stack.

Axis-only camera support

YourSix runs on Axis hardware. Hanwha, Hikvision, Dahua, Bosch, Avigilon, Pelco, Uniview, i-PRO, Mobotix, VIVOTEK - none of them work in practice. Rip-and-replace is the only migration path for non-Axis sites.

PSaaS bundling vs integrator margin

Cameras + AI + professional monitoring are sold inside one subscription. Integrators who run their own SOC or sell their own monitoring upsell are competing with the platform vendor for the same revenue layer.

IPVM 2023 "weakly" tested verdict

IPVM's 2023 VSaaS Shootout tested YourSix alongside Verkada, Eagle Eye, Rhombus, Genetec, Ava and Meraki - YourSix was rated "weakly". No public re-test has been published since.

US-only channel posture

American HQ in Roseville / St. Paul Minnesota, US$10.5M Series A led by Vocap Partners June 2024 (~$16.1M total raised). Channel, ARC and distribution (Jenne, ADI Global) are US-centric; UK / EU / AU monitoring partners are not the primary supported set.

Pricing not publicly published

YourSix does not publish a per-camera-per-month price. The public SKU is multi-year prepaid base (YS-Y6OSVMS3Y) with monitoring, AI, access and Axis hardware quoted separately through the channel.

Small absolute scale

Founded 2015, ~$16.1M total raised. YourSix did not appear among gainers, losers or "considered" mentions in the IPVM 2025 integrator survey of 120+ integrators - brand recognition outside the Axis channel is thin.

FAQ

Questions before you switch from YourSix

YourSix is an American PSaaS (headquartered in Roseville / St. Paul, Minnesota, founded 2015, CEO Eric Styles) that raised a US$10.5M Series A led by Vocap Partners announced 13 June 2024 - taking total funding to ~US$16.1M across three rounds. The pitch is "Physical Security as a Service": cameras, access, audio, sensors, AI and professional monitoring bundled into a single cloud subscription (Y6OS). The single biggest constraint is camera support: in practice YourSix runs on Axis hardware only. If the customer site does not have Axis cameras, YourSix does not run on it - rip-and-replace is the only path.

IPVM's 2023 VSaaS Shootout tested YourSix and rated it "weakly" against Verkada, Eagle Eye, Rhombus, Genetec, Ava and Meraki (see the best VSaaS providers shortlist for the full set). Combined with Axis-only hardware support (cameras are typically the most expensive single line item in a deployment), the model concentrates risk on one camera vendor for a category where several open-camera platforms also deliver cloud + AI. TetherX is the open alternative: 200+ camera manufacturers including Axis, channel-only, TetherBox at every site, cloud recording and AI search as optional per-camera services.

Yes - and so will every other brand on the site. TetherX is a top-tier Axis integration partner; the existing Axis fleet stays exactly where it is and works through TetherX from day one. The difference: if next year the customer puts Hanwha into a new building or inherits Hikvision / Dahua at an acquired site, those cameras run on the same TetherX platform too. YourSix would require swapping every non-Axis camera before it could even start.

TetherX has AI search on the Q3 2026 roadmap as an optional per-camera service - natural-language search ("find the red truck", "show me the person in the yellow jacket near the entrance") across an open camera fleet (see the cloud / edge / camera analytics post for how we think about the analytics layer). For 24/7 monitoring with an alarm receiving centre operator verifying and dispatching, TetherX integrates with ARC integration (Immix, Sentinel, CONXTD, MASterMind, Bold Patriot Manitou, Stages) - shipping today. YourSix ships cloud-side person / vehicle / motion analytics and runs its own SOC for live remote guarding inside the subscription; TetherX lets the customer pick which ARC and which monitoring model fits the site, and the integrator keeps the SOC revenue.

YourSix does not publish per-camera pricing - the public SKU set (e.g. YS-Y6OSVMS3Y at ADI Global) is multi-year prepaid base subscription, with monitoring, AI, access and Axis hardware quoted on top through the channel. TetherX is an annual platform subscription priced by channel count through the channel partner, with cloud recording, AI search and ARC integration as optional per-camera services - and any camera brand under it. The integrator captures the recurring revenue and the customer is not locked into one camera vendor.

TetherX is monitoring-agnostic. If the customer wants the same "platform handles the monitoring" experience, the integrator picks any ARC partner from the supported list and the workflow looks identical to the operator. If the customer already has an ARC contract, TetherX hands off to that ARC. YourSix bundles its own SOC inside the subscription - which is a feature for the end customer, but competes directly with the integrator's own monitoring revenue. TetherX leaves that revenue layer with the channel.

Axis is Swedish, NDAA-compliant, and a strong choice on greenfield US federal-adjacent sites - that part of the YourSix pitch is genuine. TetherX supports Axis at full feature, plus Hanwha, i-PRO, Bosch, Avigilon and other NDAA-compliant brands, so an NDAA-driven refresh is not a single-vendor decision. On hardware-as-a-service: YourSix bundles camera refresh into the subscription. TetherX is software-only, so refresh cadence and ownership stay with the integrator and end customer - which most channel partners prefer because it preserves hardware margin and gives the customer a real asset rather than a rental.
