Private cloud camera solution
AboutCamOS is a surveillance camera management app built on Ant Media Server, empowering enterprises to establish private cloud camera solutions effortlessly.
The enterprise can control the private video camera data without any concerns about data privacy because all data is encrypted and flows through the Ant Media Server.
Highlight- It offers direct data storage for new technology surveillance cameras, ensuring secure and easily accessible data through the cloud.
- It supports online viewing, playback, and camera management with user-friendly administrative features.
- Integration with various camera lines and recorders meeting the ONVIF connection standard optimizes cost efficiency, making it a versatile solution.
- Integrate the smart features based on video analytics solutions to support your business such as smart retail stores, smart gates, and smart traffic monitoring.
You need to have an active Ant Media Server 2.7.0+ (AMS) community or enterprise version (For AMS 2.7.0, you can install the external application on both the enterprise and community versions). You can subscribe through AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or others and deploy AMS with just one click. Or directly subscribe to a self-hosted license on AMS website.
Your AMS server must run on MongoDB and enable S3 recording (AWS S3 or S3 compatible systems) for video data storage
HardwareYou can run the AMS server on a cloud server, local server, or edge devices such as Khadas, Raspberry Pi, or Nvidia Jetson.
Deploying:- Download the latest war file of CamOS 2.7.0+.
- Login to your Ant Media Server management panel.
- At the panel, click the “New Application” button.
- Simply, click the “Choose File” button and browse the war file (CamOS.war) you downloaded. Hit the upload button.
- Input “CamOS” as the name of the application (you can’t change the order name).
- Hit, Create button. And, that’s all. That simple.
- After creation, the new application will be available on your AMS system.
- If you use the AMS 2.7.0 community version or enterprise version (standalone mode), you need to configure the MongoDB setting for the CamOS app manually. Follow this section to configure the MongoDB setting
- Open the CamOS setting page to configure your S3 recording and video recording
- In the future, we will update more new features such as AI recognition. Therefore, you can update your CamOS application by deleting the old CamOS application and re-creating the above steps (you need to re-configure S3 recording and video recording after re-creating the CamOS application)
