INTRODUCING I-P SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS IP-Surveillance is a term for a security system that gives users the ability to monitor and record video and/or audio over an IP (Internet Protocol-based) computer network such as a local area network (LAN) or the Internet. In a simple IP-Surveillance system, this involves the use of a network camera (or an analog camera with a video encoder/video server), a network switch, a PC for viewing, managing and storing video, and video management software. Unlike analog video systems that use dedicated point-to-point analog cabling from the camera location to the viewing /recording station, IP-Surveillance (or network video) uses the IP network technology as the backbone for transporting information. In an IP-Surveillance application, digitized video and/or audio streams can be sent to any location-even around the world if desired-via a wired and/or wireless IP network, enabling video monitoring and recording from anywhere with network access. While an analog video system is for the most part a one –directional signal carrier that end at the recording device, a network video system is bi-directional (allowing information to be sent and received) and be an integrated part of a larger, scalable system. A network camera, for instance, can send video, audio and other data (e.g. SMS) to a user, as well as receive from the user audio and data instructions that could, for example, activate doors or external alarms. In addition, a network video system can communicate with several applications in parallel and perform various tasks such as detecting motion or sending different streams of video.
Such a system provides for greater performance possibilities and flexibility.
SOME BENEFITS OF IP-SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS Because of the digital nature and method of video distribution, IP-Surveillance provides a host of benefits and advanced functionalities that gives you greater control and management of live and recorded video, as well as alarm events. This makes the system highly suited to security surveillance applications. The advantages include:
REMOTE ACCESSIBILITY:You can access live and recorded video at any time and from virtually any networked location in the world. Multiple, authorized users at different locations may be able to access live or recorded video. This is advantageous if the company/user wants a third-party, such as a security firm, to benefit from and have access to the video. In a traditional analog CCTV system, you need to be in a specific, on-site monitoring location to view and manage video, and off – site video access would not be possible without some additional equipments, such as video encoder or a network DVR (digital video recorder).
HIGH IMAGE QUALITY: High image quality is essential in security surveillance. You want to be able to clearly capture an incident in progress and identify persons or object involved. In a network video system, the quality of image produced can be more easily retained than in an analog surveillance system. With an analog video system, the captured images are degraded with every conversion that the image makes between analog and digital formats and with the cabling distance. The further the analog video signals travel, the weaker they become. In a fully digital IP-Surveillance system, images from a network camera are digitized once and they stay digital with no unnecessary conversions and no image degradation due to distance traveled. In addition, digital images can be more easily stored and retrieved than is the case with the use of analog video tapes. A network camera that uses progressive scan technology provides clearer images of moving objects because the whole image is presented at one time. With an analog video signal, two consecutive interlaced fields of lines are presented at one time, and when displayed on a PC monitor, blurriness occurs when objects move between the image capture of the two interlaced fields.
EASY, FUTURE-PROOF INTEGRATION: Network video products based on open standards can be easily integrated with computer and Ethernet-based information, audio and security system, video management and application software, and other digital devices. For instance, a network camera can be linked to specialized software programs that could, for example, integrate video with a point of sales system, or analyze the visual and/or audio data to detect wanted persons in a crowd or un authorized access to specific areas.
Scalable and flexible: An IP-Surveillance system can grow with your needs. You can add as many network video products to the system as desired without significant or costly changes to the network infrastructure. You can place and network the products from virtually any location, and the system can be as closed as you wish.
COST EFFECTIVE: An IP-Surveillance system has a lower total cost of ownership than a traditional analog CCTV surveillance. Management and equipment costs are lower since back-end applications and storage run on industry standard, open systems-based servers-not on proprietary hardware such as a DVR in the case of an analog CCTV system. Additional cost savings come from the infrastructure used. IP-based video streams can be routed around the world using a variety of interoperable infrastructure. IP-based networks such as LANs and the internet, and various connection methods such as wireless are much less expensive alternatives than traditional coaxial and fiber needed for an analog CCTV system. In addition, an IP infrastructure can be leverage for other applications across the organization. Furthermore, power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which cannot be applied in an analog video system, can be used in a network video system to increase savings and reliability. PoE enables networked devices to receive power from a PoE- enabled switch or midspan through the same standard cable that transmits data (video). Hiring a certified electrician and installing a separate power line are not needed- a big advantage, particularly in difficult-to-reach areas. With PoE, network cameras/video encoders will also be able to receive centralized backup power from a server room with an uninterruptible power supply; so in the event of a power failure, the cameras/video encoders will be able to operate. EVENT MANAGEMENT AND INTELLIGENT VIDEO: There is often too much video recorded and lack of time to properly analyze them. Advance network cameras/video encoders with in-built intelligence or analytics take care of this by reducing the amount of uninteresting video recorded to enable programmed responses. Advanced network cameras/video encoders have such features as built –in motion detection, audio detection alarm, active tampering alarm, I/O connections and alarm and event management functionalities. These features enable the network cameras/video encoders to be constantly on guard in analyzing inputs and waiting for an impulse to kick- start an action or a series of actions. Having intelligence/ analytics conducted at the network camera/video encoder rather than at the recording server reduces network bandwidth usage and storage needs since only actionionable data (video) is sent over the network. In addition, less computing power is required from the recording server.
OTHER USES OF THE SURVEILLANCE
A security person’s ability to protect people, property and assets can be enhanced by the flexibility and power of IP- Surveillance technology. IP- Surveillance systems have been installed in indoors/ outdoors and private/public spaces; for example, in stores, homes, day care centers schools, banks, government offices, factories, warehouses, railway/subway stations and airports.
A network camera or a video encoder connects directly to the network—not to a PC as is the case with a web camera. Once the network camera (or analog camera and video encoder) is installed and configured, you can view and record live video using a web browser on a local PC or a remote PC via the Internet. If you want to access and record video from many cameras simultaneously,
As mentioned earlier, an IP-Surveillance system is easy and cost-effective to scale up. It is also flexible,
