The present technology discloses a security camera that includes a housing and a hardware switch coupled to the housing and an audio component of the security camera. The hardware switch has an ON position and an OFF position. When the hardware switch is in an ON position, the audio component of the camera is operational. When the hardware switch is in an OFF position, the audio component of the camera is non-operational.

A first storage node communicates with at least one second storage node. A physical disk included in the at least one second storage node is mapped as a virtual disk of the first storage node. The method may include: receiving a first write request, where the first write request carries first to-be-written data; striping the first to-be-written data to obtain striped data, and writing the striped data to a physical disk and/or the virtual disk of the first storage node; and recording a write location of the striped data. For example, the technical solution may be applied to a storage system that includes an NVMe SSD.

A method for operating a device adapted to store information with high reliability includes determining a storage address for a data payload portion of a write request in accordance with a configuration of a communications interface coupled to the device, where the data payload is to be stored in mirroring groups of cache storage partitions of a plurality of cache storage modules. The method also includes generating a payload read request in accordance with the storage address, and prompting the communications interface to initiate the storing of the data payload, in parallel, in the mirroring groups in accordance with the payload read request.

A data access method and a related apparatus and system, where the data access method includes receiving, by a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) from a processor, a first key-value command whose format meets an NVMe interface standard, where the first key-value command carries a first operation manner indicator and a first operation object type indicator, and an operation object type indicated by the first operation object type indicator includes a value, obtaining, by the NVMe, N keys corresponding to the first key-value command, and performing, by the NVMe on a value corresponding to each of the N keys, an operation indicated by the first operation manner indicator. Hence, the data access method is helpful in promoting a data access manner in an NVMe technology.

Data access method and related apparatus and system

A server management method and a server, where the server is divided into two parts, a computing component and a storage component, according to a part maintenance cycle. The computing component and the storage component are connected in a detachable manner. The computing component includes a part with a short maintenance cycle, and the storage component includes a part with a long maintenance cycle. Therefore, the computing component or the storage component can be flexibly replaced during server maintenance, and maintenance efficiency is high.

A method, device, and system for implementing hardware acceleration processing, where the method includes memory mapping input/output (MMIO) processing being performed on a data buffer address of a hardware acceleration processor in order to obtain an address in addressing space of a central processing unit (CPU). In addition, a network adapter has a remote direct memory access (RDMA) or a direct memory access (DMA) function. Alternatively, a network adapter of a hardware acceleration device can directly send received data on which the hardware acceleration processing is to be performed to a hardware acceleration processor. In this way, resource consumption is reduced when the CPU of a computer device receives and forwards the data on which the hardware acceleration processing is to be performed, and in addition, storage space of a memory of the computer device is saved.
