IP Video Surveillance - The Concept

These software products for controlling video surveillance hardware are based on the TCP/IP network protocol, which enables you to build your own video surveillance system using standard video and computer hardware.  This reduces maintenance costs, eases the amount of work for you, and protects your environment.  The software supplies the basis for highly efficient operations of video monitoring and analysis, also opening up a wide spectrum of opportunities for integrating with other business applications in a company’s IT environment. 

The installation of such systems are very simple. Cameras are directly plugged unto a Broad-Band Internet Routing via an analogue to IP converter and/or built in IP transmitter. From this stage, each camera has its own I address which when called upon using special software show live video (depending on bandwidth and/or network speed). A special software links these addresses to a Graphical Map of the site(s) to easily choose the cameras from a map-like diagram (see presentation). When these cameras are chosen they display live video (also called streaming video) to operators CRT. The use of IP technology allows multiple users to simultaneously view the live video and control the cameras much like a website.

These systems are ideal for Municipal Traffic Control System Applications, LAN/WAN CCTV connectivity for Corporate and Industrial Applications and in many cases Tele-Conferencing when combined with a Voice Over IP (VOIP) Option. You an get a more elaborate idea by choosing the links below.
