The video streams you see in the Orchid Alto VMS user interface are optimally delivered to your web browser using Orchid Alto VMS’s sophisticated routing engine. When a Recording server is registered in Orchid Alto VMS, a proxy connection becomes available from the Orchid Alto VMS server to the Recording server. When a Recording server is not directly accessible to your web browser (because it’s behind a firewall, for instance), this connection allows Orchid Alto VMS to relay all the web and video data from the Recording server, through Orchid Alto VMS, to your web browser. This method eliminates the need to create and maintain firewall rules to provide access to the Recording servers and cameras.
If your web browser can communicate with a Recording server, video is delivered directly from the cloud to your client browser. This approach maximizes performance while minimizing bandwidth usage, hosting costs, and custom network configuration.
