Bucket Media Storage
Media storage is used for images, frames, clips, and generated files.
Best Use Cases
- defect/event snapshots
- evidence retention
- model retraining sample curation
Core Concepts
- media is grouped by bucket
- optional collections/folders improve retrieval
- keep naming deterministic for downstream indexing
Recommended Naming Pattern
Use contextual naming:
<site>-<workflow>-<event>-<timestamp>.jpg
Workflow Integration Pattern
Inference -> Decision -> SaveMedia -> Alert/Archive
Write only high-value artifacts to control storage growth.
Common Problems
- large storage growth from unfiltered saves
- inconsistent file naming prevents searchability
- mixed media classes in one collection reduce operational clarity
