Server Side Software Architecture
The software has been designed to work on the latest LTS version of Ubuntu Linux (Server Edition). There are 3 main components to the software application:
- Web Server: Serves the PHP-based application and user interface via Nginx.
- Database: Stores all unique, customer-specific information.
- Media Server: Manages communication with cameras and video streams delivered to client PCs, and handles recording and clip creation.
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.
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.
Single Server
From a physical or virtual server perspective the entire server side software stack can be run on a single server.
Multiple Servers
For applications that necessitate the use of over 50 cameras or encompass multiple departments, our software provides the option to distribute its functionality across multiple "Media Servers". These dedicated servers are specifically designed to handle the crucial tasks of processing the video stream component of the VALT application and efficiently storing the associated video files. This multi-server architecture offers exceptional flexibility and scalability, accommodating diverse and expanding needs.
