Platform architecture

Scale the video. Keep control of the data.

Add recording capacity or archive space as your needs change. ARDVI separates system management, video processing and storage so each can grow independently.

The main responsibilities

  1. Control
  2. Video processing
  3. Workload placement
  4. Storage

Deployment design

Add capacity where you need it.

A cloud-native microservice architecture separates the heavy work of video from administration. S3-compatible storage lets you expand the archive separately.

Control
Administration, permissions and configuration
Video processing
Recording, live delivery and archive playback
Workload placement
Workloads placed near a site or in central infrastructure
Storage
S3-compatible archive capacity managed separately from compute

From recording to investigation

Keep the recording connected to the incident.

ARDVI records the video today. The planned workspace will bring that recording together with the incident details your team needs to review.

Video
Record, view live video and play back archive against the relevant site
Future context
Relate sources and events to the relevant site and asset
Future intelligence
Planned AI to detect activity and make related events searchable
Future orchestration
Planned visual workflows to guide decisions and responses
Future review
Investigate activity across sites in the operator workspace

Workload placement

Choose where your video lives.

Your sites may have different networks and rules for storing video. Choose an arrangement that fits those conditions.

  • Site edge
  • On-premises
  • Private infrastructure
  • Public cloud
  • Hybrid

Operational resilience

Plan for the conditions each site faces.

A remote site and a connected campus need different plans. Review network interruptions, recording needs and recovery before rollout.

Local operation
Keep relevant site workloads close to the physical environment
Workload growth
Plan compute, storage and future intelligence around demand
Recovery planning
Agree recovery expectations with the deployment and data controls
Operational visibility
Make device, connectivity and deployment state available for review

Technical review

Start with the capabilities you need to assess.

Review the VMS capabilities against your recording and retention requirements. We can also discuss access controls, integration and the deployment approach for your sites.

Architecture review

Plan the system around your sites.

Bring your camera count, archive needs and network constraints. We will work through the deployment choices with your team.
