Edge · Hybrid sync

Only sync what HQ needs

Keep heavy video local. Push events, short evidence clips, and KPI rollups to Slinai cloud on your schedule — so regional managers still get WhatsApp alerts and multi-site dashboards.

What is hybrid cloud sync?

Hybrid cloud sync is Slinai's controlled uplink from edge gateways to the cloud. Instead of streaming all cameras continuously, sites upload structured events, optional clips, and aggregated KPIs under bandwidth caps and time windows. HQ retains multi-site visibility while each site keeps primary footage on-prem.

Capabilities

What Hybrid cloud sync delivers

Bandwidth policies

Set daily/ hourly caps; overflow waits or drops non-critical digests first — never silent on critical intrusion by default.

Off-peak windows

Schedule bulk clip archive overnight when store broadband is idle.

Realtime event path

Tiny event payloads can sync immediately for WhatsApp fan-out while clips follow when capacity allows.

HQ KPI mirrors

Footfall, queue, and compliance rollups land in the same multi-site dashboards Cloud VMS customers already use.

Selective clip share

Only flagged incidents upload evidence — routine recording stays local.

Conflict-safe sync

Idempotent event IDs prevent duplicate alerts after flaky reconnects.

Bandwidth discipline

Treat uplink like a scarce resource

IT can finally say yes to AI without provisioning dedicated MPLS for every camera. Hybrid sync turns video AI into a manageable data budget — measurable in MB/day, not mystery WAN spikes.

Dark-store and highway sites especially benefit: daytime operations stay local; HQ reviews overnight digests.

Regional managers should not care where AI ran

Whether a site is edge-hybrid or full cloud, the HQ dashboard, alert routing, and roles look the same. That is how multi-site operators scale without training two operating models.

Drill from a regional KPI tile into an edge-originated clip when policy allows remote playback.

FAQ

Common questions

Can we sync metadata only?

Yes. Event and KPI sync without clips is supported for the strictest residency postures.

Who can pull full remote playback?

Role-based. Many customers allow regional LP to request time-bounded clip fetch; continuous live view may remain LAN-only.

Does sync work after long outages?

Yes. Queues drain in priority order with backoff; admins see backlog size and ETA.

Is hybrid required?

No. Pure local-only and pure cloud remain available — hybrid is the middle path.
