Bringing Business Intelligence to the edge
•
Cisco IP Cameras have become Smart
Endpoints, bring intelligence to the edge
• Dynamically add functionality easily
through software
Ability to install and remove apps, as
needed
Examples: Video Analytics, Audio
communications through cameras, IoT
Sensor Aggregators, Audio Analytics
VPN client application to support cloud
and managed services
• Open eco-system for application
development
• All apps will be Cisco tested and
certified to provide validated
applications

High Availability of Media Servers
VSOM
• Support for dual streams or
multicast
• Active/Active media servers
• Each media server has exactly
the same video recording
• Consult camera datasheets on
resolutions supported for dual
streaming
• Leverage multicast for
bandwidth saving

• Failover time may vary

Failover

VSOM HA
•
Master server replicates to second peer server
•
All configurations data and logs are replicated
•
If Master server goes down, the Peer server becomes Master and
retains the role. Previous master becomes Peer server when it comes
up again.
•
A virtual IP is shared by both servers, clients point to the virtual IP.
•
VSOM HA only supported on RedHat 6.4 64bit OS
•
Both VSOM servers need to point to same NTP is possible to ensure
same clock across both servers.
Cisco Connect 2015
Audio
• Support for G711
• Audio recorded as per video
configuration (motion or continuous)
• Box cameras usually have built in
microphone, but external
microphone recommended
• Need to add audio storage to entire
storage calculation
Cisco Connect 2015
LDAP Integration
•
When the Active Directory user logs into Cisco VSM, their credentials
are authenticated with the LDAP server and access is granted or
denied based on the LDAP response.
•
Support for multiple LDAP servers
•
May have mixture of local and LDAP users
