All ECA4s are featured with redundant storage system (RSS*) as default. RSS is a technology in ecaOS-5 that protects your data from drive failures. Support massive storage up to 150 terabytes in single system, and capable to store 180 days of CCTV evidence.

* RSS powered by Microsoft® Storage Space

All ECAs record the disk serial no. in each Bay, incase someone takes away your evidence and replaced it with a new disk. DiskGuard will constantly monitor all the disks activity, if the recording (write) is below the threshold, it will inform you on suspecting CCTV no recordings, as well as disk health monitoring and alerts.

All up to 600 Mbps bandwidth validated for its consistency performance. This was tested at GSF own TechLAB™. By simulating constant bit rate of 200CH video stream, continuous recording into 120TB of RSS Storage Pool (15units of 8TB Seagate Skyhawk AI).

All ECA4s had been validated at Seagate Singapore Design Centre – The Shugart Technical lab for further performance test on vibration and resonance. We simulated the ambient of 55 °C condition with 15units of HDD installed.

You can add any applications into App monitor and let Guardian act as watchdog, to supervise if your app is no responding, or if the app has been accidently closed, it will respawn the app automatically.

This is a protected OS, the system is operated under system memory (RAM) without commit any writes into the OS disk. System will discard all changes whenever system rebooted.

Guardian will actively monitor activities for CPU, Memory, Network, and Disk drives in ECA. In the abnormal event triggered, Guardian will send alert to notify users or communicate with Heartbeat for self recovery.

ecaOS is built in 3 layers,

Factory Layer is OS optimized level or platform ready level without user settings or configurations.

Deploy Layer is OS with all settings and congurations done accordingly to job requirements, or so called ‘Golden Layer’after system integrator done all the configurations for handover to user.

User Layer is the operating OS for user usage with Shield feature. Inthe event user layer is corrupted, you can command Soft Reset to the ECA for system recovery by loading the Deploy Layer. This only takes about 10 minutes, and the process can be done without any technical person’s assistance.

Heartbeat is the communicator that sends data from ECA to Wilsoncloud. It also receives command from Wilsoncloud to authenticate orders for self recovery remotely. All communications are encrypted in RSA 2048bits SSL before transmit to the internet.

When authenticated order received from Security Key, Heartbeat will perform its own self system recovery to repair the ecaOS. It also stores triple layers ecaOS in its own onboard storage.

More that 30 sensors has been built into Heartbeat for ECA machine data collection and monitoring, like machine power detection, temperature, main-board, buttons, chassis, internet gateway, external I/O, system stage, etc. It also self-sustained for 12 hours with its own built-in lithium polymer battery.

Security Key is uniquely paired to each machine with specific authenticator token. It can’t be cloned. Both Physical or Virtual Key are using 2048bits RSA encryption technology, to eliminate unauthorized system access. Furthermore, ECA Virtual Key is added with a time-based OTP (one time passcode), the code will change in every 30 seconds.

Security Key also act as a command order authenticator, to recue and restore the ECA system, or change and save new settings. Nothing gets done without the Security Key.

ECA was designed for 24x7 Surveillance applications, it is not suppose to shutdown, or forced to shutdown. The machine will boot up again, no matter how you try. No Key, No Shutdown.
