Surveillance Camera Integration
A router manufacturer connects millions of cameras and recorders but lacks a unified monitoring solution and struggles with secure, cost-effective remote video access via mobile apps.
Edgenesis helped them:
- Discover 1 million cameras and 90k NVRs automatically.
- Enable 50k tenants to securely view real-time and past videos on mobile.
- Monitoring the real-time status of these cameras and NVRs in one dashboard.
Challenges
Video streams are only available on the spot; they cannot be viewed from a mobile phone. Additionally, there are too many NVRs and cameras to monitor effectively.
- 300k edge nodes are integrated with various camera and NVR manufacturers.
- Upgrade 300k edge nodes without downtime.
- High bandwidth is required to process video streams for 1 million cameras and 90k NVRs with <10ms latency.
- Secure video stream transport from edge to cloud, and then to the cell phone.
Edgenesis Solution
Security
All data transport is secured by the authentication service and managed under IAM control, with encryption applied during data and video streaming transport.
Device Auto Discovery
Using UDP multicast automatically discovers any manufacturer's cameras and NVRs when they join or leave the network. It also automatically builds up relationships between NVRs and cameras.
Edge-to-Cloud
Using WireGuard, edge-cached device information is securely synced with cloud services in near real-time.
Cloud-to-Edge
The Edge OTA service dispatches upgrade commands to 300,000+ router nodes, ensuring secure and time-efficient software upgrades or configuration updates.
Near-real-time Monitoring of 1 Million Devices
With over a million devices connected, their statuses remain available in near-real-time on the dashboard.
Result
With Edgenesis's support, the router manufacturer can automatically discover over one million cameras and NVRs at the edge, while securely offering stable video access via their mobile app.
