IP-based video surveillance
For several decades, Close Circuit TV (CCTV) has remained the leading technology in the
video surveillance industry. CCTV is a key component for providing safety and security for assets within many organizations such as government institutions, banks, retail outlets, and educational institutions among others. Video cameras serve as a deterrent to crime and as
a record of people and property movement. In most cases, these systems are analog, pro- prietary, limited to a single vendor, delayed targeted incidents of viewing, and involve an
expensive cabling infrastructure.
Increased security needs and advances in technology have drastically changed the requi- rements for many organizations in terms of video surveillance systems. Real-time access, viewing, from anywhere, anytime, coupled with real-time incident response and resolution,
are imperative for most organizations today. With the convergence of Internet Protocol (IP) technology, digital video recording and new technologies for motion, heat, and sound sens-
ors detection, the security video surveillance industry is evolving to a new level, today's IP-
based video surveillance systems offer benefits that were not possible with traditional anal-
og CCTV.

How it works?
IP digital video surveillance systems can be divided into four modules including:
1. Video capture module
2. Network interface module
3. Management and archiving module
4. Real-time monitoring module
IP digital video surveillance systems can be divided into four modules including:
1. Video capture module
2. Network interface module
3. Management and archiving module
4. Real-time monitoring module
1. The video capture module consists of the IP camera and is responsible for capturing raw images and compressing
videos for today's most commonly used video encoding standards including MPEG2, MPEG4 and MJPEG, among others.
2. The network interface module is responsible for processing captured videos and IP video streaming.
3. The management and archiving module is the application responsible for archiving and indexing video frames. The management software interface that provides acess, control,
and configuration settings for all devices connected to the security system.
4. The real-time monitoring module is any display device that allows viewing real-time video streams and/or targeted events.
