About IRIS+ Edge Devices

an appliance or virtual appliance, running irisity’s video analytics pipeline connects to any onvif/rtsp supporting ip camera, multiple cameras can be connected to each iris+ edge iris+ edge processes the video locally and communicates with iris+ core different types of edge devices irisity central monitoring offers 3 types of edge devices these three edge devices have their subsets of requirements please read below to learn more irisity edge 10 a pre configured appliance that is typically co deployed with a camera system at the surveillance site and can handle 5 21 video streams per device, depending on the stream profile edge™ 10 datasheet docid\ idd etswdivjct6mkd4g4 iris+™ edge for axis this iris+™ edge version runs inside axis's latest fixed cameras as an acap embedded application it connects to the iris+ cloud, connecting cameras with the artpec 7 and artpec 8 chipsets axis edge™ datasheet docid 2sym3urugumhrixrxwpfr custom edge allows you to run iris+™ edge analytics pipeline on your hardware, and is deployed either on site or in a centralized location edge™ server requirements docid\ lbtjbasy6okf5guikkmkq edge via virtual machine the iris+ edge can be deployed on a vm the supported camera count may be reduced if you are looking for a vm solution to be part of your iris+ setup, please contact pre sales to learn how you can set this up comparing edge devices each edge device can support up to a certain count of cameras, operating within reasonable settings please check below to learn more about camera usage across all edge devices differences in camera support specifications edge 10 gen 2 edge 10 gen 1 edge 320 (legacy) edge 220 (legacy) camera count up to 10 cameras up to 10 cameras up to 4 cameras up to 4 cameras supported cameras h 264, up to 30 fps 5 cameras with 1080p resolution 10 cameras with 720p resolution h 264, up to 30 fps 5 cameras with 1080p resolution 10 cameras with 720p resolution h 264, 720p, 8 fps h 264, 720p, 8 fps edge requirements when installing any edge device with iris+, certain specifications are required to support and maintain a healthy system please read below to learn about the suggested hardware specifications needed for a general edge device recommended edge specifications for customers creating custom edge devices, be sure that your edge device meets the recommended requirements below hardware specifications recommended edge processor 5th generation intel® xeon® scalable processor or newer ram 8gb legacy edge processor 2nd generation intel® xeon® scalable processor (cascade lake) 3rd generation intel® xeon® scalable processor (ice lake) 4th generation intel® xeon® scalable processor (sapphire rapids) operating system ubuntu 22 04, lts 64 bit, server edition with no gui installed minimum storage capacity 256gb ssd recommended storage type ssd network gigabit ethernet connection average required bandwidth per camera 5 kbps upload 0 5 kbps download additional upload bandwidth real time event detections 500 kb per event live view in iris+ gui 300 kbps per camera maximum allowed latency from the iris+ edge to the iris+ core 2000 ms don't hesitate to get in touch with pre sales for assistance if you have questions about processors or if you have a cpu that is not from this list please review the edge 10 or the axis edge datasheet for other specifications camera operations all edge devices support cameras operating as follows minimum acceptable recommended camera's frame rate 8fps 8 12fps 10fps ccd camera resolution 480p 720/1080p 720p thermal camera

265 @ 720p @ 8 fps h 265 @ 1080p @ 15 fps h 265 @ 1080p @ 30 fps if you use any other streaming profile, set a secondary streaming profile with one of the options above other considerations the iris+ edge server should not host other non iris+ applications cameras connected to iris+ edge must have static ip addresses (dynamic ip allocation may result in camera disconnections) server requirements the iris+™ edge enables iris+ software deployment on a customer’s hardware to connect onvif / rtsp fixed ip cameras from the camera’s network to a centralized iris+ core one or multiple iris+ edge devices (iris+ edge, iris+ edge 10, or a mix of both) process the video stream, transforming it into irisity’s proprietary metadata and sending it to an iris+ core, which will then perform all central management and advanced analysis contact irisity's presales at psteam\@irisity com mailto\ psteam\@irisity com to receive a customized hardware specification matching your specific deployment needs scene activity level there are 3 types of activity levels that iris+ classifies low medium high see appendix a for scene activity level examples we recommend reviewing the differences in scene activities below based on the two edge 10 versions available today edge 10 gen 2 number of supported cameras compression h 264 h 265 video streaming profile 720p / 8 fps 1080p / 15 fps 1080p / 30 fps
