Target Audience


This Application Note helps resellers understand the different Brivo Eagle Eye AI Video Management System (VMS) camera subscriptions, identify them on the price list, and understand what each subscription includes.


Introduction


Brivo Eagle Eye Video is delivered via subscription plans. A Brivo Eagle Eye Bridge or CMVR is required for most installations. For smaller installs with 6 or fewer cameras and sufficient bandwidth, cameras can be added individually via Camera Direct. All subscriptions are priced per camera and can be purchased on a monthly, yearly, or 3-year/5-year basis; however, charges are deducted monthly from the account credit for yearly and multi-year subscriptions. This is outlined monthly on your billing invoice/statement. The price and part number vary based on the desired camera resolution and the retention period. There are no additional charges for the use of Brivo Eagle Eye Video or the Brivo Eagle Eye Viewer App, as they are included as part of your camera subscription.


Categorizations of Camera Resolutions


The camera resolutions are categorized as follows:

  • M10: Local recording or live viewing up to the supported camera resolution. No cloud storage.*

  • PR1: Camera with preview stream cloud recording only.  The High Resolution video stream will be recorded on-premise only (340 x 280) or (640 x 360).

  • SD1: IP or Analog cameras NTSC or PAL up 0.6MP (640 X480). 

  • HD1: Up to 1MP (1280 x 720) IP cameras cloud storage.

  • HD2: Up to 2MP (1920 x 1080) IP cameras cloud storage.

  • HD4: Up to 4MP (2688 x 1520) IP cameras cloud storage.

  • HD5: Up to 5MP (2592  x 1944) IP cameras cloud storage.

  • HD10: Over 5MP up to 10MP. 

    • 6MP (3072 x 2048) IP cameras.

    • 8MP/4K (3840 x 2160) IP cameras.

    • 10MP (3648 x 2752) IP cameras.

  • HD15: Over 10MP.


Cloud Retention Period Options


We offer the following options for cloud retention periods:

  • D7: 2, 3, 5, or 7 days

  • D14: 14 days

  • D30: 28, 30, or 31 days

  • D60: 60 days

  • D180: 180 days

  • D365: 1 year

  • D730: 2 years

  • D1095: 3 years

  • D1825: 5 years


We also offer an M10 subscription, which refers to a ‘no cloud retention option ’ and is often used in conjunction with the Brivo Eagle Eye Cloud Managed Video Recorders (CMVRs). The CMVR can record and store video locally to the maximum of its storage space. You can record locally on the CMVR and also record to the cloud. Note, however, that if choosing to record locally as well as in the cloud, only one resolution option is possible. For example, you cannot record locally at 5MP and then record to the cloud at 1MP. They have to match.


The M10 subscription also includes an optional one-day cloud retention for the preview stream. The PR1 subscriptions store the preview stream in the cloud for a specified period of time for faster user interface response.
