Architecture and Terms
Our software is built on the standard LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MYSQL, and PHP) architecture. The software has been designed to work on the latest LTS version of Ubuntu Linux. For networking purposes, there are 2 main components to the software application:
Application Server: This makes up the bulk of the application and consists of 3 primary components:
- PHP web pages being served up by the Nginx web server
- MySQL Database
- NodeJS messaging and control service
Media Server: This portion of the application handles all the communication with the cameras and video streams being served out to the client PCs. It also handles all the recording and clip creation.
From a physical or virtual server perspective, the entire server side software stack can be run on a single server. For applications requiring more than 50 cameras or consisting of different departments the software can be broken out and additional Media Servers can be added. These servers only run the Media Server portion of the VALT application.
Visual Overview
Basic Configuration
🔓 Required when SSL is Disabled 🔒 Required when SSL is Enabled 🔧 Required for Administration
BEAM (Mobile Application)
Only required for those who have purchased BEAM licenses.
BEAM is an application that allows users to leverage devices, such as iPads and iPhones, as a mobile video endpoint. This includes the following features:
- Live streaming to VALT
- Recording sessions
- Uploading sessions
🔓 Required when SSL is Disabled 🔒 Required when SSL is Enabled
Online Updates
Valid DNS servers are required to download updates
Application Server to Additional Media Server(s)
Only required for installations where additional servers, acting as Media Servers, are present.
🔓 Required when SSL is Disabled 🔒 Required when SSL is Enabled
Digital Wowza License
Only required for servers utilizing an electronic Wowza key. Servers with a physical Wowza key do not need access to the licensing servers.
This communication is required to verify valid Wowza Streaming licenses.
VALT Cloud
VALT Cloud is a hybrid solution that requires an on-premise server and a cloud server.
The cloud server is the Application Server. This hosts the website where users will access the application.
The on-premise server is a Media Server. This hosts the camera streams and recordings.
The on premise media server will establish a connection to the VALT AWS Private Cloud. All traffic will flow through this connection. This connection requires the following ports:
VALT Cloud utilizes Let's Encrypt to provide SSL certificates. The On-Premise Media Server must be able to communicate with the following websites to request the certificate:
