General Edge™ Device Installation Guide

overview irisity edge™ device is either a compact appliance with pre loaded iris+™ software or a server specced specifically to the customer's needs and installed by the customer with iris+ software, that connects onvif / rtsp fixed ip cameras from the camera's network to irisity video analytics solution irisity edge™ device is a gateway between the site’s video cameras and the iris+™ core servers therefore, it must always be connected to iris+™ core from one side and to the video cameras on the other irisity edge™ device connects to the various video cameras using onvif or rtsp protocols, performs initial video analysis, and streams the analysis description metadata to iris+™ core servers the steps for installing and configuring irisity edge™ devices are as follows installing the iris+™ software depends if you purchased the irisity edge™ 10 device from irisity or you provided your hardware, based on irisiy's hardware specification ( for the latter click here ) connect irisity edge™ device to iris+™ core (active account) this step is performed once, as part of the initial on site installation of irisity edge™ devices, using irisity edge's™ device local settings connect the attached edge™ device using onvif / rtsp protocol to live video streams this step can be performed once the irisity edge™ device is connected to the iris+™ core and is comprised of the configuration of each onvif / rtsp video stream this step is performed using the iris+™ web portal prerequisites and design considerations before installing the irisity edge™ device, please review the following prerequisites and design considerations required equipment please make sure the following equipment is available for your use during the installation of irisity edge™ device pc/laptop preferably with windows os connected to the site's network irisity edge™ device connected to the site's network networking networking schemes irisity edge™ device communicates with iris+™ core servers and with the video sources via onvif / rtsp irisity edge™ device must always be connected, using a dynamic or static ip address, to a single or multi network segment that enables access to the iris+™ core servers (iris+™ core servers may be deployed in the cloud or on premise) on the one hand, and the video source segment on the other hand please note that the video sources (cameras) must have a static ip address at all times firewall settings irisity edge™ device to iris+™ core for cloud based deployments example, the site’s firewall must allow irisity edge™ device to access the following endpoints (outbound traffic) irisity io 443/ irisplus ai 443 (cm/enterprise) these are iris+™ cloud service addresses, required for the irisity edge™ device to continuously communicate with iris+™ core docker com 443 docker io 443 these addresses are required when connecting the irisity edge™ device to your iris+ account and when performing irisity edge™ device software upgrades in the cloud the docker address redirects traffic to different ip addresses and third party dns names (for example cloudfront net ) the addresses being used are beyond irisity's control see the following related docker forum response link it is advised to verify with the site’s network administrator that these requirements are fulfilled, before arriving at the site irisity edge™ device to video sources if there's a firewall between the irisity edge™ device and video sources, onvif/rtsp ports should be open default ports are onvif 80 (unencrypted), 443 (encrypted) rtsp 554 dns server irisity edge™ device requires access to a dns server in case there is no dns server in the network, access to external dns must be enabled (for example, to google’s dns 8 8 8 8 53) usernames and passwords before the installation and configuration of the irisity edge™ device, make sure you have the following credentials irisity edge™ device local username and password the local username and password are only used to configure irisity edge™ device local settings the default local username is admin and the default local password is passw0rd! iris+™ web portal account to connect irisity edge™ device to a specific iris+ account and start adding cameras you will need an active iris+ account in the cloud with specific credentials such as a username and password that have been activated or a local deployment of iris+™ core note if you do not have the credentials above(2 ), please contact your iris+™ account administrator irisity edge™ device is configured with a default username and a default password it is strongly advised to change the default local password once the irisity edge™ device is connected to the iris+ account this will prevent unauthorized access to irisity edge™ device local settings (see instructions in "irisity edge™ device settings" below) connecting irisity edge™ device to the network irisity edge™ device must be connected to a network that allows constant access to iris+™ core endpoints if the designated network has a dhcp server or you already set a static ip address to your edge™ device, you can immediately connect the irisity edge™ device to the network otherwise, you need to set a static ip ( see assigning static ip address on edge™ 10 device ) before connecting it to the network connect your pc/laptop to the same network as the irisity edge™ device open your web browser and type in your edge™ device ip ensure the irisity edge™ device webpage appears (see image below) select "user settings" (see image below) type in the default local username and password to access the configuration page (see the image below) verify under the "endpoints" tab that the configuration points to the proper endpoints, modify if needed, and "apply" changes (see image below) endpoints irisity edge™ device is configured with default endpoints settings as follows saas to access irisity hosted service customer hosted to access the iris+ core in a customer hosted deployment (on premise) custom manually set for custom deployment with private domain either in the cloud or on premise to connect the edge™ device to irisity's hosted iris+™ core in the cloud use the following endpoints for cm customers api url https //edge irisity io portal url https //portal irisity io auth url https //auth irisity io use default registry should be checked for enterprise customers api url https //edge irisplus ai portal url https //portal irisplus ai auth url https //auth irisplus ai use default registry should be checked to connect the edge™ device to iris+™ core on premise with irisity's provided domain use the following endpoints api url https //edge irisplus app portal url https //portal irisplus app auth url https //auth irisplus app use default registry should be unchecked and the endpoint should be changed doker registry https //registry irisplus app note in both deployments, a dns must be configured to resolve these addresses for irisity's hosted deployments you can point the edge™ device to a public dns, irisity's hosted cloud endpoints are publically published adding the irisity edge™ device to the iris+™ account the irisity edge™ device must be connected to a network that allows constant access to the iris+™ core endpoints note the irisity edge™ device can be added only to a dedicated folder and not to the account root folder ensure you have created a folder in your iris+ account before you start this process (see image below) using your web browser, navigate to the irisity edge™ device ip address again the irisity edge™ device web page
