Functional administration of cameras, sensors, actuators, IoT devices, status monitoring, and distributed connectivity.
Functional purpose
Devices and Infrastructure defines how Horus incorporates, organizes, and supervises the physical elements connected to an instance. It includes cameras, IoT devices, sensors, and actuators that feed the digital operation of the environment.
Operating value
This layer turns scattered infrastructure into manageable resources from a common experience. Operators can know device status, group devices by site or function, access them remotely, and prepare coordinated responses across video, sensors, and physical actions.
Included capabilities
| Capability | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Camera management | Allows cameras to be registered, organized, and administered inside a Horus instance for visualization and operation. |
| IoT device integration | Adds connected devices that extend operations beyond video, such as sensors or control modules. |
| Sensor management | Administers sensors that provide field data and complement visual information from cameras. |
| Actuator management | Enables operation of devices capable of executing physical actions, such as activations, controls, or remote responses. |
| Device monitoring | Supervises cameras, sensors, and actuators to understand availability and operating behavior. |
| Real-time device status | Exposes current connection, activity, or alert conditions to support immediate decisions. |
| Device grouping | Organizes devices by site, function, type, or operating need to simplify views, permissions, and scenarios. |
| Distributed edge connectivity | Integrates infrastructure located across different sites while maintaining coordination with the central platform. |
| Secure remote access | Enables device operation and consultation from outside the physical site under authentication and permission rules. |
| Infrastructure orchestration | Coordinates cameras, sensors, and actuators as part of integrated operating flows. |
Relationship with the Horus ecosystem
Devices are the main source of visualization, events, and actions within Horus. They connect with dashboards, automations, security rules, user permissions, and intelligent scenarios that coordinate responses over real infrastructure.
