Deploy EdgeVis video streaming on your own hardware
Secure, low-bandwidth live video with Docker-based deployment.
EVVR Container is Digital Barriers’ software deployment option for EdgeVis live video streaming. It brings secure, adaptive, low-bandwidth video to your own compatible infrastructure through Docker-based deployment.
Deploy EdgeVis on a compatible rugged edge device, cellular gateway or general-purpose computer without a dedicated Digital Barriers encoder appliance. Use it to connect cameras and video applications across cellular and other constrained networks.
How EVVR Container fits into EdgeVis
EdgeVis is the streaming platform. EVVR Container is a way to deploy its streaming capability as software on compatible hardware. Digital Barriers also offers purpose-built hardware, including the EdgeVis VideoRouter.
Deployment and integration
- Docker-based delivery: use container workflows to deploy EdgeVis streaming on compatible infrastructure.
- Hardware options: the platform supports deployments ranging from Raspberry Pi 5 to Xeon-powered servers. Confirm the configuration for your workload with our team.
- Camera integration: connect supported ONVIF cameras and video applications. Check device and VMS compatibility before deployment.
- Encrypted video: EVVR Container supports AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit.
- Multiple output streams: support separate video outputs for your operational requirements.
- SaaS licensing and management: discuss the licences and management configuration required for your deployment.
Should you choose software or a dedicated appliance?
Choose the deployment that fits your site, existing equipment and support requirements:
- EVVR Container — software on your hardware: run EdgeVis on a compatible host using Docker. Your team is responsible for the host operating system and network connection; an EdgeVis Server v9 or newer is required. Review the setup guide.
- EdgeVis VideoRouter — purpose-built hardware: choose a dedicated appliance when a purpose-built hardware platform is a better fit. Explore EdgeVis VideoRouter.
Camera and VMS compatibility, stream capacity, connectivity and support vary by configuration. Discuss your deployment with our team before choosing.

Questions before deployment
Does EVVR Container run on any hardware?
It is designed for a range of hardware platforms. Suitability depends on the host and video workload; confirm your proposed hardware, Docker environment and stream requirements with Digital Barriers.
What should I check for camera and VMS integration?
Identify camera models, firmware, ONVIF support, video formats and the destination video management system. Use the specification sheet below and ask our team to confirm the proposed configuration.
How much bandwidth will my deployment need?
Bandwidth depends on the video settings, scene and network conditions. Use the bandwidth savings calculator for planning and validate the configuration on a representative network before deployment.
How do I get licensing and deployment advice?
Contact Digital Barriers with your host hardware, camera count, connectivity and destination VMS. Our team can discuss licensing, compatibility and an appropriate deployment approach.
Technical guidance and compatibility
Review the EVVR Container system requirements, EdgeVis v9 licensing overview and current release notes before deployment.
EdgeVis supports native integrations with Milestone and Genetec; VMS Gateway can present EdgeVis streams to compatible ONVIF Profile S systems. Check the EdgeVis architecture guide and VMS Gateway compatibility guidance for version and feature limitations.
