How Deployment Works
Use this page to understand what runs where and how one site moves from setup to controlled rollout, incident review, diagnostics, and final review.
This page explains what a real Edgentik deployment includes, what runs where, and how teams move from setup -> rollout -> live operations.
Deployment at a glance
At a high level, Edgentik connects:
- edge devices
- camera feeds
- site configuration for zones and policies
- operator-facing surfaces for incident review, diagnostics, and audit trail
- workflow and reporting outputs for final review and the next-step decision
Typical first deployment
- 1 site
- 1+ edge devices
- 1+ camera feeds
- zones for the first monitored areas
- a small number of initial policies
- a controlled rollout and verification pass
- operator validation through incidents, evidence, and diagnostics context
- final review materials when required
What runs where
At the edge
- ingesting camera-connected inputs
- applying the site’s configured zones and policies
- producing the signals and evidence needed for incident review
- exposing device health and rollout state for safe recovery
In the Edgentik application
- configuring devices, cameras, zones, and policies
- running readiness gates and controlling deployments
- reviewing incidents and evidence
- diagnosing problems safely before destructive actions
- generating final review materials
Normal sequence
- Bring devices and cameras online
- Define zones and policy rules
- Run readiness gates
- Deploy configuration
- Review incidents and evidence
- Diagnose and recover safely when something drifts
- Produce final review materials
What good looks like after deployment
- operators are in the correct org/site scope
- camera-connected state is understandable, not guesswork
- policies are deployed and the site is stable
- reviewed incidents are clear, or the quiet state is clear
- issues can be diagnosed without jumping straight to destructive actions
- final review materials exist for acceptance review and stakeholder review
