Overview#
The Surveillance Camera module manages the complete camera lifecycle from network discovery and onboarding through ongoing fleet operations. It supports multiple camera protocols with automatic detection, secure credential management, batch operations for fleet-scale deployments, and camera status tracking through each stage of the onboarding and operational process.
Key Features#
-
Multi-Protocol Support - Connect cameras using RTSP, ONVIF, and SUNAPI protocols with automatic protocol detection, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of camera manufacturers and models.
-
Network Discovery - Automatically discover cameras on the network to simplify large-scale deployments, reducing manual configuration effort when onboarding new camera fleets.
-
Onboarding State Machine - Track each camera through a structured onboarding process from inactive through provisioning to streaming, with status transition tracking and error handling at each stage.
-
Secure Credential Management - Store camera access credentials securely with encryption, ensuring that authentication information is protected throughout the camera lifecycle.
-
Batch Operations - Perform fleet-scale operations including batch updates, provisioning, and configuration changes across hundreds of cameras simultaneously.
-
AI Detection Profiles - Configure which AI analysis models are active on each camera, allowing detection capabilities to be tailored to the specific monitoring needs of each location.
-
Protocol Probing - Test camera connectivity and probe available protocols before onboarding to ensure reliable video delivery and identify potential configuration issues early.
-
Live Input Provisioning - Automatically provision cloud-based live streaming inputs for onboarded cameras, enabling secure video delivery to the monitoring platform.
Use Cases#
-
Fleet Deployment - Rapidly onboard large numbers of cameras across multiple sites with automatic discovery, protocol detection, and batch provisioning.
-
Camera Lifecycle Management - Track camera status from installation through decommissioning, including maintenance periods, firmware updates, and credential rotation.
-
Multi-Site Operations - Manage camera fleets across multiple facilities with centralized configuration, monitoring, and batch management capabilities.
-
Troubleshooting - Diagnose camera connectivity issues using protocol probing and status tracking to quickly identify and resolve problems.
Integration#
The Surveillance Camera module connects with the broader surveillance platform:
- Surveillance Platform - Camera feeds power the real-time video intelligence system
- Surveillance AI - AI detection profiles are assigned per camera
- Zone Management - Cameras are associated with surveillance zones
- Stream Management - Video delivery infrastructure is provisioned automatically
