BriefCam is built with an extensive task-oriented architecture in which every video analytics request is split into many tasks, such as fetching, processing, and rendering. These tasks run in parallel and they often have dependencies, priorities and error handling procedures. This parallelization is done using RabbitMQ, which is an advanced message queueing platform.

Note

RabbitMQ must be installed before the BriefCam Server.

Caution

BriefCam does not currently support RabbitMQ connections over secure channels.
