Recording at The Edge - Surveillance System Fault Tolerance

Surveillance System Fault Tolerance

It is more fault-tolerant because if one edge recorder fails then only those cameras connected to that unit stop recording. In a centralized approach, all cameras would cease to be recorded.

Additionally, if the network, or communications path, fails for a period of time video from all cameras on the down network is lost forever. On the edge-based storage solution video is still being recording while the network is down, so if an event of interest occurs while the network is down the video recording may be recovered by going out to the edge device, or after the network has been restored.

Famous quotes containing the words system, fault and/or tolerance:

    “As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “For support, I fall back on my heart. Has a man any fault a woman cannot weave with and try to change into something better, if the god her man prays to is a mother holding a baby?”
    —Haniel Long (1888–1956)

    “Nothing is as difficult as to achieve results in this world if one is filled full of great tolerance and the milk of human kindness. The person who achieves must generally be a one-ideaed individual, concentrated entirely on that one idea, and ruthless in his aspect toward other men and other ideas.”
    —Corinne Roosevelt Robinson (1861–1933)
