SpartanShield Video Platform provides services for streaming video sources from Security and SmartHome cameras, indoor or outdoor(perimeter camera or door-lock camera).
It is fully integrated with SpartanShield ADMP , SpartanShield FogEdge Platform , Camera OEM/ODM hardware platform, AWS/Azure Clouds along with Camera Apps developed for Android, iOS mobile devices.
The following device management protocols and API are exploited on the SpartanShield Video :
SpartanShield Video Platform is designed for the following Broadband or SmartHome B2B customers :
It allows to create the following value-added Products and Services :
The Platform is built with messaging and micro-services architecture deployable at any containerized environments using Clouds like AWS, Azure, GCP and others.
SpartanShield Video Platform exploits AI/ML micro-services from SpartanShield ADMP as well as re-uses the same core components. Hense the same features like unlimited scaling/load balancing and others are applicable also.
Depending on OEM/ODM target platform, the Camera components may be similar to the ones available in the SpartanShield FogEdge.
At least, the Camera components include SpartanShield Camera Agent and SpartanShield USP(TR-369) Agent. The responsibilities of those are divided the following way:
This is a micro-service responsible for making sure the Camera device is whitelisted on the Platform and fully manageable. Some devices may be blacklisted for some reasons and not allowed to connect to the Platform. Also user credentials for the SpartanShield Camera App are verified for each connected device.
The micro-service manages the Platform integration with AWS, Azure, GCP. The Cloud is exploited to persist Camera video clips and screenshots. For instance, the following resources can be stored in the Cloud:
The resource list is fully configurable and dependent on a user subscription plan.
The component’s responsibility is to manage creation of a P2P tunnel for Camera video source required to begin streaming video from to the Camera App.
Prior to establishing the tunnel, the connected user credentials are verified as well as whether Camera is present in the device white-list.
The micro-service is responsible for sending notifications to the Camera App when any event captured by the Camera.
For instance, the following events are handled via Platform:
Sending events is a configurable option and may be enabled or disabled.
In addition, the events are sent to the SpartanShield ADMP for auditing and logging purposes.
SpartanShield Video Platform includes mobile applications for Android, iOS to manage Camera commisioning, video stream playback, camera events, Smart Home Scenes and Automations.
The Camera applications are fully customizable and include the following functionality:
SpartanShield Video Platform is fully integrated with SpartanShield ADMP and provides End-to-End solution for Matter ecosystem.
SpartanShield delivers the Super-Application for Android, iOS mobile platforms and includes the following features :
