GEAR AUTOMATIONGEAR Automation is a solution to network – data driven challenges. The Automation is an easy to use piece of software installable on-premises or used via GEAR Cloud.It solves automatic, massive provision and collection flows challenges to and from a broad range of network devices respectively. Build on top of Linux it is easy to installin quite any virtual environment regardless of the vendor. It allows users to perform device driven or network driven End-To-End style tasks in automated fashion. Itapplies to several vendors by using custom-built adapters for each.

The main benefit of one using the Automation is the transition to a vendor-green zone with overall top view. This approach gives the user a chance to supervise thenetwork interactions within and across several layers. It also gives the chance to customize the logic of interactions by building customized on-top applications.Applications bring modularity and new logic by re-using data and treasuring network access time.

CUSTOMER SCENARIOSThe Use-Case of Video Automation is applicable to three main categories of customers• All Residentials / Consumers• Enterprises• Public/Private Infrastructure Owners or Operators

SME & Residential customers can contract a full service of video automation from GEAR which involves dedicated hardware video-cameras from a pre-defined selection of models and performances based on requirements. This service includes everything required to set one up with video monitoringincluding hardware, security solution, storage solution and access to applications, all in one or several DIY kits. The Kit comes per residency, thereforemore residences to equip, more kits will be delivered but within only one service bundle per customer to cover all. The value is that all video monitoring

can be done from one central place on web and phone in a secure & very private way. Securing your main house and other remote properties will become a very simpletask regardless of their respective locations. The only prerequisite is a broadband internet connection on every site to support the video upstreaming. The service isoffered as all included, only as cloud – based for this category, by using a subscription.

Enterprise customers will benefit on top of consumer ones, of a one-time L2/L3 integration solution design covering the low-level details of anylocation or pre-existing network. From warehouses, remote construction lands, hospitals, shopping centres, parking lots, bank branch offices, hotels,factories to complex or several linked locations or complex installations, GEAR offers a one-stop solution for any video data-flow automation andmanipulation. This means one gets to chose quite everything from the specific types of cameras to use, to applications and features that are available

on video-streams. This includes adding AI modules, simple logic on top of any video stream, or just get to customize your own application based on your business needsand have it maintained in the cloud. Preferred installation is cloud-based. However for complex or very secure scenarios we can customize the integration to assure anon-site deployment on common virtual appliances or build our own dedicated infrastructure to support it. If you are missing local networking infrastructure to transportyour video across your organization, we can provide that as part of integration solution also, thanks to our hardware partners.

Infrastructure Owner / Operator customers will have a fully customized data-transmission solution, data-connectivity solution, integration with theirexisting ecosystems and applications as well as considerate inter-working and functionality with existing vendor equipment on-sites.Applicable scenarios include roads, rail, energy, oil & gas, platforms, mines, electricity grids, national telecoms and (inter) continental networks aswell as other type of large service suppliers exploiting existing infrastructures. With the help of our partners we can engage in large scale integrationprojects in order to deliver automation of video-data.
