How to Identify ‘True Cloud’ By Jody Russell, Sales Engineer – Eagle Eye Networks Cloud technology is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models. These five characteristics are necessary to build a modern cloud computing system. Are you missing one? You may not have True Cloud. 1.) On-Demand Self-Service On-Demand Self-Service refers to the ability to access and control your applications and infrastructure resources, such as server time and network

One of our most common requests is, “How do I put my camera on my website?”. It has always been possible, but the aim of this blog post is to make it more accessible for everyone. Let’s start with how our API is architected. There are two main concepts to know when working with our API. First is our real-time event stream (referred to as our poll stream). The second is how we manage video.

Overview In this project, we provide a referential Python script demonstrating the use of the Eagle Eye Networks (EEN) API to add GPS annotation data to a camera device’s timeline.   The script onlines the common steps to properly creating and updating new annotation objects.  Our goal is to prepare developers with the know-how to create and interact with any custom annotation data they may need for their particular application. Before You Begin You will need

Endless products can be made better with the addition of images and video. Access control systems are a great candidate to improve with the Eagle Eye Networks Video API. Controlling who gets in and out of secure areas is an important, albeit not glamorous task. There are times where the person using the access code or badge isn’t who the system thinks it is. Images and video provide the information of who actually opened the

This blog post is an example of how you can use the Eagle Eye Networks Video API to embed the preview stream on another site. This is a common request from businesses that want to show their visitors the inside of their facility without a password. Home owners associations, pet hotels, and amusement parks are all examples of this. Background The Video API makes it very easy to get the preview stream for all the cameras in an

BazaarVoice held their annual conference + hackathon and we were lucky enough to participate. Because of the strong engineering talent they attract it made sense for us to let people loose with our Video API and see what they could create. To make it more exciting we had a $1000 prize for best project. We had a great reaction from the crowd and after the 48 hours ended three projects were completed. All three used
