OrcaStream targets more efficient video infrastructure

OrcaStream is designed to reduce the amount of surveillance video organizations need to process, transport and store across edge, datacenter and cloud environments.

According to Orca Technology B.V., higher camera counts, increased resolution and longer retention periods are making video a larger part of infrastructure planning. The platform aims to preserve the visual information needed for security, investigation and operations while reducing pressure on network and storage resources.

Reducing the video footprint

Large surveillance deployments can generate significant amounts of data across sites, networks, datacenters and cloud platforms. Organizations must not only record video. They also need to move, retain and retrieve it.
OrcaStream reduces the video footprint before it creates a larger burden on network capacity, storage and computing resources. As a result, organizations can transport less data and use less storage for the same retention period.

Edge and Core deployment

OrcaStream Edge processes video close to where cameras generate it. This reduces the amount of data that needs to leave the site. It also helps organizations make better use of available connectivity and local infrastructure.
OrcaStream Core handles compression and processing in datacenter and cloud environments. It supports larger deployments where streams from multiple locations use shared infrastructure.
Together, the Edge-to-Core architecture supports distributed sites, centralized operations and hybrid deployments.

OrcaStream Edge and Core show how surveillance video can be compressed at the site or centrally in the datacenter or cloud.

OrcaSign adds video authenticity

OrcaSign adds video signing and origin information to the workflow. The technology helps organizations establish where footage came from. It also addresses concerns around manipulated video and deepfakes.
Organizations can use OrcaSign alongside OrcaStream in both Edge and Core environments. Together, OrcaStream and OrcaSign aim to make surveillance video easier to manage while adding information about its origin and authenticity.
