Abstract

Smart home security cameras are becoming more popular, but providing quick and responsive experiences for users around the world comes with some tough challenges for service providers. Centralized cloud architectures can be budget-friendly, but they may lead to delays for users who are spread out across different locations. This paper explores the setup and operation of a standard smart home security camera system, with an emphasis on how media is processed and delivered. We take a closer look at the hurdles that come with generating preview images and ensuring smooth video playback in localized settings. To address these challenges, the paper suggests optimized architectures that makes use of regional caching, location-aware routing, and proactive data pre-population. These strategies focus on reducing delays, boosting reliability, and making the user experience better by ensuring quicker notifications and smoother video playback, no matter where the user is located.
