# How Amazon Kinesis Video Streams uses AWS Secrets Manager
<a name="integrating_how-services-use-secrets_AKVS"></a>

You can use Amazon Kinesis Video Streams to connect to IP cameras on customer premises, locally record and store video from the cameras, and stream videos to the cloud for long-term storage, playback, and analytical processing. To record and upload media from IP cameras, you deploy the Kinesis Video Streams Edge Agent to AWS IoT Greengrass. You store the credentials required to access the media files that are streamed to the camera in an Secrets Manager secret. For more information, see [Deploy the Amazon Kinesis Video Streams Edge Agent to AWS IoT Greengrass](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/gs-edge-gg.html) in the *Amazon Kinesis Video Streams Developer Guide*.
