The Arcules Story
Arcules is the intuitive, cloud-based platform that unifies and makes sense of the data from your surveillance system for security and beyond. We are device-agnostic with a simple plug-and-play experience that sets up in minutes, saving both time and money while providing the flexibility to adapt as your business grows. Arcules is constantly updated with improvements and security patches as part of our affordable subscription model. Security is an important investment, but you shouldn’t have to buy into a whole new system of hardware and hire a specialist just to use it.
We are a diverse, passionate group of people that share a desire to create the world’s most user-friendly, affordable, flexible security and insights tool. Our teammates are known as “superheroes” because we embody that comic-book overachiever mentality, backed by a personal duty to make the world a safer place for everyone. As part of the Canon Group, we are bound by the “San-Ji” Spirit of self-motivation, self-management, and self-awareness. Integrity and openness are reflected in our team, as well as our product, because those values carry over into everything we do.
Our Name
Ar·cu·les
(noun)
A bold, innovative company transforming security data into powerful intelligence to optimize businesses & make the world a smarter, safer place.
The name Arcules comes from a combination of “arcus” – the word for a type of cloud at the leading edge of a storm front, and “Hercules” – the divine hero of strength in Greco-Roman mythology and son of Zeus, god of the sky (clouds and storms). Arcules is a name which embodies the dynamic and impending power of cloud technology with the strength and honor of Hercules. We exist to deliver the magic of cloud with the security and trust of a god.
