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:
“Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.”
—Han Suyin (b. 1917)
“Happiness lies outside yourself, is achieved through interacting with others. Self-forgetfulness should be one’s goal, not self-absorption. The male, capable of only the latter, makes a virtue of an irremediable fault and sets up self-absorption, not only as a good but as a Philosophical Good.”
—Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)
“For all the injustices in our past and our present, we have to believe that in the free exchange of ideas, justice will prevail over injustice, tolerance over intolerance and progress over reaction.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
