Architecture and Terms
Our software is built on the standard LAMP (Linux, Apache, 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 Apache 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.
