Camera to Client direct stream plugin provides high availability, inexpensive live video.
SureStream - Camera to Client direct stream plugin provides high availability, inexpensive live video.
The barebones requirements to view live video are: a functioning camera, a functioning network, and a functioning client machine. Ideally, if this need is met, users must be able to view live video in an inexpensive manner, without dependence on any other components. SureStream enables XProtect to do this.
SureStream is an XProtect plugin that enables all Smart Clients, once authenticated, to receive unicast/multicast live streams directly from cameras, bypassing recording servers. Recording and management server failures have no impact on live video.
It is thus a live video underwriting mechanism in an XProtect installation. Such a mechanism is vital in many critical infrastructure installations.
Further, when XProtect is deployed on AWS, viewing live video from AWS is an expensive proposition. Video is a bandwidth hog and AWS data egress is pricey. Direct streaming from cameras to clients using SureStream mitigates these AWS egress costs and delivers instant ROI.
