The lifecycle transition rule configured on Amazon S3 Standard then moves the data to S3 Glacier Deep Archive.įigure 1: Data collection using Amazon S3 File Gateway at source Network Attached Storage with Amazon S3 integrationĪs an alternative to S3 File Gateway, you can also locally use a network attached storage (NAS) device that has the capability to integrate with Amazon S3. The data stored on the file share syncs to the Amazon S3 bucket via AWS Direct Connect. The CCTV cameras are reconfigured to use the network file share created by S3 File Gateway at the primary storage location. This file share exposes S3 objects to the local server on premises. S3 File Gateway at the source data location provides the NFS/SMB compatible network file share. Let’s look at both approaches to bring data from the old (non IP-enabled) cameras to Amazon S3. Integrating these systems can come with additional operational responsibilities like managing, monitoring, and administering different NAS technologies. The NAS vendor options in AWS Marketplace have S3 integration available, but integrating disparate NAS systems can be a daunting task. The second approach is to use a Network Attached Storage (NAS) from the AWS Marketplace that comes integrated with Amazon S3. S3 File Gateway offers SMB or NFS-based access to data in Amazon S3. S3 File Gateway provides a way to connect to AWS in order to store application data files and backup images as durable objects in Amazon S3. The first is AWS Storage Gateway Hardware Appliance configured as Amazon S3 File Gateway (this is our preferred approach). Collecting video feeds from locations with old cameras sending feeds to a local Network Attached Storage (NAS)Īlthough there are several methods to implement this solution, we focus on two approaches. Let’s first review the solution architecture for each source data path. Remote locations with slow or unreliable networks. Locations with new IP-enabled camera installations.Locations with old cameras sending feeds to a local Network Attached Storage (NAS).We address the following source data paths in the proposed solution: S3 Glacier Deep Archive provides secure and durable object storage for long-term retention and digital preservation for your data. All S3 Glacier storage classes provide virtually unlimited scalability and are designed for 99.999999999% (11 nines) of data durability. The S3 Glacier storage classes provide you with the highest performance, most retrieval flexibility, and the lowest cost archive storage in the cloud. The Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes are purpose-built for data archiving. We also showcase the path for retrieving the data from S3 Glacier Deep Archive. We then review how to centralize the data in Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive. In this blog, we discuss how to collect data from closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that are dispersed across a large geographic area. This can be done by contributing to lower crime rates, optimizing pedestrian and vehicle traffic flow, monitoring aggregate population movement trends, and enabling proactive response with real-time alerting to better serve the community and protect our environment. Furthermore, surveillance feeds from smart cities can also help deliver safe, secure, and sustainable cities. These locations may or may not have network support, or may come with legacy camera installations. It is paramount for customers using surveillance solutions to address the need to collect the data from different geographic locations, store data efficiently, and make decisions faster. It is important to archive these feeds for long-term retention and retrieval, as well as for regulatory compliance. As governments, particularly in smart cities rely upon video surveillance, it is critical to design a cost optimized, highly secure system to archive surveillance feeds. These locations can be police stations and government offices or even civil locations of importance like banks and hospitals. Video feeds and still images from judiciary locations are considered critical forms of evidence in the court of law.
