Local Security has a unique PUSH Module solution, allowing cameras to connect directly to the cloud and avoid security vulnerabilities.

This is our simple Plug&Play setup where customers only need to plug a camera into a router and it makes the cloud migration or rollout a breeze for new and existing installations.

This configuration is extremely secure and reliable as there are no intermediate servers or need to expose the camera to the internet over port forwarding. Camera access can be temporarily available for authorized IT personnel over the encrypted tunnels for maintenance and troubleshooting.

How It Works

 

• Local Security's module is the most secure and network-friendly method to connect an edge device to the cloud.
• Local Security's module will initiate an outbound 443 TCP connection to a cloud on startup. Unlike P2P servers, the Local Security PUSH module is ISP and Firewall friendly.
• Local Security's module creates a secure, encrypted tunnel between the camera and the cloud over TLS with AES 256 encryption.
• Both metadata and video stream are fully protected from the moment a camera captures video to the moment you access it through our video/admin portal.
• Local Security's module is developed with heavily optimized CPU and memory requirements being met to allow the camera to run all available edge analytics and avoid overheating.
• No public IP or ports need to be exposed to access the edge device.
• No changes to edge device firmware are performed to avoid introducing potential security vulnerabilities. Our module is installed as an add-on on top of the firmware to connect the cameras to the Local Security Pure Cloud Platform.
• Our module includes an option to fully lock in a camera. In such a case the camera would be available only through the cloud and no local access would be possible.
• PUSH Proxy server is available to generate a temporary URL to access edge device Web UI through a cloud for maintenance and troubleshooting.
