1. Project Summary
POC implementation of VXG Private Cloud VMS on AWS for CJ Express across 3 sites (129 cameras) to validate:
Continuous 24×7 ingestion of RTSP streams from site NVRs
Recording to Amazon S3 (Standard-IA) with 15-day retention and automated deletion
Smooth live view and playback via the VXG Web UI
Support for search, multi-camera viewing, role-based access control, and alerting
2. Scope of Work
| Category | Task | In Scope | Out of Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site | Provide RTSP URLs and open RTSP ports on NVRs | ✔ | Hardware changes on NVRs |
| AWS Infra | Configure VPC, EC2, S3, IAM, VPC Endpoints, CloudWatch | ✔ | DR site or multi-region deployment |
| VXG Stack | Deploy VXG microservices in CJ’s AWS account (POC scale) | ✔ | Production licensing or >3 sites |
| Functionality | 15-day recording, live/playback, alerts, RBAC | ✔ | AI analytics or additional features |
| Testing | Load test with 5 concurrent viewers and 129 streams | ✔ | Tests beyond 5 viewers or 129 streams |
| Documentation | Functional spec, test report, handover guide | ✔ | Production runbook |
3. Deliverables
POC Environment: AWS account configured with VXG VMS integrated with S3
VXG Web Portal: Access for Viewer and Admin with role assignments
Monitoring Dashboard: CloudWatch metrics and initial Grafana dashboard
POC Test Report: Summary of performance, latency, error rates, and retention
Final Presentation: Results and recommendations
4. Timeline
| Phase | Activity | Duration (days) | Target Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kickoff | Receive RTSP URLs, NVR specs, remote access | 3 | T+3 |
| Setup | Deploy VXG stack and integrate with S3 | 4 | T+7 |
| Ingestion | Test RTSP connectivity and basic playback | 4 | T+11 |
| Functional Test | Verify core features (search, multi-camera, alerts) & load test | 4 | T+15 |
| Review | Resolve feedback, finalize documentation, present findings | 3 | T+18 |
5. Success Criteria
≥99% of the 129 RTSP streams must be recorded to S3 and available for playback within 90 seconds
Live playback must support 5 concurrent viewers with buffering under 2 seconds
All “Priority 1st” requirements must pass UAT with ≥90% success rate

7. Assumptions & Constraints
Minimum 20 Mbps uplink per site
RTSP streams available 24×7 during the POC
No additional onsite hardware installations
Use VXG POC License for up to 3 sites
15-day retention configured via S3 lifecycle rules
Appomax has necessary access to CJ Express AWS account (VPC, IAM)
