In the Cloud model, raw video streams from your cameras travel to IREX's cloud infrastructure where AI analytics are processed. In the Edge Server model, an IREX server is installed on-site: AI runs locally and only events and alerts are transmitted to the central platform — not raw video. Edge deployment reduces bandwidth requirements significantly and continues operating during internet outages.
Yes. The Private Cloud deployment model runs entirely within your network — no data leaves your jurisdiction. IREX can be deployed on your own bare-metal servers or private datacenter infrastructure, with no dependency on IREX cloud services for operation. This model supports CJIS compliance and sovereign data requirements for federal and national deployments.
With the Edge Server deployment, IREX continues to run AI analytics and record video locally even when connectivity to the central platform is lost. All events detected during the outage are stored on the edge server and automatically synchronized with the central platform when the connection is restored — with no data loss and no manual intervention required.
IREX scales linearly to 500,000+ cameras by adding Kubernetes and Ceph nodes. There is no architectural ceiling — the same platform running a 50-camera municipal deployment also underpins national-scale C4/C5 command centers. Scaling cameras, archive depth, and concurrent users each require adding different node types; the platform automatically balances load across new resources.
