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.Read more about this topic: Recording At The Edge
Famous quotes containing the words system, fault and/or tolerance:
“I confidently predict the collapse of capitalism and the beginning of history. Something will go wrong in the machinery that converts money into money, the banking system will collapse totally, and we will be left having to barter to stay alive. Those who can dig in their garden will have a better chance than the rest. Ill be all right; Ive got a few veg.”
—Margaret Drabble (b. 1939)
“Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
Or good, or bad,disfigurd, or depravd,
All art, is at its resurrection savd;
All crownd with glory in the critics heavn,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (17691850)
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, Be toleranteven of evil. Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealths criminals, I disagree that its all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion. Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
