Full-Stack Video Surveillance Infrastructure Monitoring

BCD’s purpose-built servers and enterprise storage platforms are engineered specifically for video workloads. They combine CPU and GPU processing architectures to deliver the throughput and sustained performance that high-density video deployments and AI analytics demand.

EyeOTmonitor builds a real-time digital twin of the physical security environment, providing continuous operational intelligence from the edge camera to the core BCD server.

The platform monitors:

  • AI video analytics with ImageAssure: ImageAssure, EyeOTmonitor’s AI-powered camera image health and integrity engine, continuously analyzes camera feeds to detect blur, obstruction, scene drift and other image quality degradation. This AI video analytics monitoring solution keeps footage usable, providing verifiable evidence that cameras meet design intent.
  • Server health and resource utilization: Keep BCD platforms performing at full capacity with continuous enterprise storage monitoring. EyeOTmonitor offers visibility into processing load, storage performance and system health across each deployment.
  • Network connectivity and switch performance: Gain real-time insight into switch ports, bandwidth and connectivity across sites and keep teams informed on network status.
  • Camera device availability: Know the status of connected cameras across an integration project from a single centralized view, with alerts that facilitate a fast response when a device goes offline.
  • VMS operational alignment: Validate that video management system integrations are healthy and that the full video stack is operating as designed.

Core Platform Benefits

EyeOTmonitor offers strategic advantages, including:

  • Faster time to resolution: The platform sends alerts based on triggers such as device failure, camera image degradation and other factors and pinpoints the source. Remote access capabilities allow technicians to connect to device interfaces from virtually anywhere in the world without a VPN, reducing site visits, shortening troubleshooting time and maximizing system uptime. These benefits also decrease operational costs, lowering the total cost of ownership.
  • A single view across multiple deployments: EyeOTmonitor automatically discovers devices and builds interactive topology maps that show how cameras, switches and infrastructure are connected. Visualize assets on geospatial maps to understand physical placement and real-world context across sites. Users can customize dashboards to simplify daily operations.

What’s Included in the Deployment

EyeOTmonitor offers flexible deployment depending on the customer environment. Available options include:

  • Software-only: For this option, a lightweight agent is installed on a customer’s existing Windows machine. Software-only is ideal for environments where clients have existing, capable hardware and want to integrate monitoring seamlessly.
  • Hardware plus software: This is a plug-and-play, BCD-provided gateway that hosts the EyeOTmonitor agent. It is suitable for new deployments or for clients who prefer a purpose-built, dedicated appliance for their video surveillance infrastructure monitoring needs.

Ordering and Activation

After issuing a quote and selecting a deployment option, the order is placed via a simple Purchase Order (PO) to BCD. Our team then coordinates directly with EyeOTmonitor to activate licenses and deliver a smooth onboarding experience.

The Operational Workflow

Discover how EyeOTmonitor works:

  • Deploying: Start with our lightweight software agent on an existing Windows machine or use a preconfigured BCD gateway hardware for a turnkey solution. Deployment is fast, often taking less than an hour.
  • Connecting: The agent automatically discovers devices on the network, including cameras, switches, servers and VMS platforms, and begins collecting health and performance data. An available API allows deeper integration with external tools and reporting platforms.
  • Monitoring: Interactive topology maps and intuitive dashboards bring deployments to life. Visualize device relationships, monitor resource utilization and track KPIs from a single, centralized platform.
  • Resolving: When an issue arises, EyeOTmonitor’s alerts and events engine identifies the root cause with precision. Whether it’s a camera, the network or a server, response teams can act quickly and often remotely, protecting margins and response times.
