Edge™ CI Server Requirements
IRIS+™ Edge CI 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 CI, 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 [email protected] to receive a customized hardware specification matching your specific deployment needs.
- Ubuntu 22.04, LTS 64-bit, server edition with no GUI installed
The number of cameras supported by a given Edge device depends on the following factors:
- Hardware specifications
- Video streaming profile
- Scene activity level ( see Appendix A for scene activity level examples)
(Processor’s number of physical cores; CPU base frequency; Memory - number of DIMMs)
- 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor (Cascade Lake)
- 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor (Ice Lake)
- 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor (Sapphire Rapids)
The selection of any alternate model should be approved by Irisity.
- H.264 @ 720p @ 8FPS
- H.264 @ 1080P @ 15 FPS
- H.264 @ 1080P @ 30 FPS
- H.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.
- Low
- Medium
- High
See Appendix A for scene activity-level examples
Storage | |
|---|---|
Storage type | solid-state drive (SSD) is/are mandatory |
Operating System & application | 256GB |
For IRIS+™ Essentials | No additional storage is required |
For IRIS+™ Enterprise or IRIS+™ Analyst | For viewing investigation results, two options are available in the Camera Settings/Full frame recording field: 1. Full frame recording Disabled (default): low-resolution image crops of the detected object are displayed in the investigation results. Video clips are not available 2. Full frame recording Enabled: Internal storage is used for video recording. Video clips of investigation results are played in the IRIS+ Portal at 720p, 1 FPS. |
- IRIS+ Edge CI can be deployed on a VM. The supported camera count may be reduced
- The IRIS+ Edge CI server should not host other non-IRIS+ applications
- Cameras connected to IRIS+ Edge CI must have static IP addresses (dynamic IP allocation may result in camera disconnections)
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:
- 2,000 milliseconds
- Resolution: as listed above
- Frame rate: 8 FPS is the minimal supported frame rate
- The video resolution width should be divisible by 4
- The maximum allowed aspect ratio is 4:1
The IRIS+™ Virtual Edge requires the same hardware specifications as IRIS+ Edge CI, however, it is applicable only for Customer Hosted deployments. The server/s of the IRIS+ Virtual Edge are installed together with the IRIS+ Core under the same Kubernetes cluster.
Scene activity refers to the number of objects in a frame, measured over time. Low, Medium, and High are defined in the following levels. The following screenshots and related short video clips show two examples per level:
- The Edge™ Device server should not host other non-IRIS+™ applications
For a Specific HW Spec, please contact the presale team at [email protected]
Please supply the following minimal requirements:
- Total number of Analytic cameras.
- Scene activity level.
- Camera profile - Resolution, Frame per Second, and Type of Codec (H.264/H.265).
- Product tier and data retention time.
