Advantages of IP-based video surveillance
Implementing completely IP-based video surveillance technology provides both the most value and security.

Digital surveillance can be done over a LAN network, of course, but TCP/IP transmittal of surveillance makes sense for remote monitoring of multiple locations and for remote recording of data onto back-up servers and hard disks for long-term storage.

With IP-based video surveillance, you can connect your surveillance camera(s) to any network or wireless adapter, and you are extremely flexible in your placement of the camera(s).

Set-up of an IP-based video system is easy, once you’ve set up an IP address, you’re up and running and it’s extremely stable and reliable. Because this is the technology of the future, it is also upgradeable. You won’t be outgrowing an IP-based video surveillance system any time soon because new developments are based on improving this market. Therefore, you will be able to add on and improve this system for years to come while older, CCTV+DVR hybrids will dead-end and become obsolete.

Comparing analog and IP-based video surveillance
A better way to understand the differences between analog and IP-based video surveillance may be to compare the two and how they work.

Advantages of an IP-Based Video Surveillance:

• IP-based recording means instant transmittal of images anywhere in the world.
• Can monitor multiple cameras from one remote location
• No decrease in recording quality over time or with repeated replays
• Digital picture quality far superior to analog
• IP-base recording is highly compressed for easier storage and can be transported over a variety of media
• Digital images can be encrypted for security purposes
• Updates and add-ons are relatively inexpensive through software packages and Internet computer networking
• Adjustable frame rates
• Remote or shared viewing may be done over the Internet or a wireless connection
• Standard IP video compression techniques are used
• IP surveillance cameras may be added individually or in groups according to your needs

If you are contemplating video surveillance for your company, understanding how IP-based video surveillance works, will make your decision easier. It is the clear future of video surveillance and an investment in superior quality and flexibility.

IP-Based Video Surveillance

Halfway there…

The “Middle Of The Road” of Video Surveillance is Upgrading Video Surveillance by utilizing a Digital Video Recorder (DVR).

A DVR system is not really fully IP-based, but is step toward the more advanced IP technology. In actuality, a DVR system uses the same camera and structures for cabling as the older CCTV analog systems, but the old VCRs have been replaced with DVR for storage of the data. The data is converted to digital so that it can be stored on hard disks, but the quality of the images captured remains analog since this is how it originated.

When shopping for a video surveillance system, be sure to ask if the system is digital based on the recording (DVR) or on the camera, since many manufacturers consider a system digital by virtue of the DVR storage system even if the camera recording the images is still analog.

Going all the way
Some people will move to the hybrid models of a CCTV/DVR system when they first move beyond an analog system because it seems like the next practical evolutionary step in video surveillance.

However, shifting to this method largely ignores how IP-based video surveillance works. With CCTV/DVR surveillance you have actually simply delayed the inevitable by adding on a relatively new technology (hard disk, digital storage) to an old technology (analog video over coaxial transmission lines). Rather than moving forward into something new, you have prolonged the demise of the old.

Originally video surveillance was done based on analog technology, closed circuit television (CCTV) and recording on video tapes. This was fine for recording what was going on, but it didn’t broadcast actual live information, so it wasn’t practical for monitoring stores, for instance, from a remote location. It simply provided what happened after the fact. The picture quality wasn’t great and it relied on human reliability as well. Someone had to remember to change the tapes regularly, etc.

Digital Revolutionized Video Surveillance
With the Internet revolution and the ever-increasing presence of Local Area Networks, technology took great strides in video surveillance in the 1990’s. Analog camera tubes were replaced with CCD (Charged Coupled Devices) and digital cameras became affordable for most consumers & businesses.

Digital Surveillance meant that video surveillance could:
• go live over the Internet or a closed network for surveillance
• provide clearer, crisper images that could be tracked and manipulated easily
• zoom in on images, track particular scenes and enhance features

A digital camera “views” the scene in front of it, broadcasts the video images as a digitized signal over a LAN line (Local Area Network/Ethernet) where it’s then transmitted to a computer or server. The server in turn manages all of this information.

Depending upon the software used to manage the digital images, it can record, display or retransmit the images to anywhere in the world. The software package can easily be upgraded to allow for analyzing data, selecting specific “flagged” items to watch for and a host of other functions, making it a truly customizable security tool.

True IP-based digital surveillance uses CCD cameras that use signal processing that send packetized video streams over the LAN through a Cat 5 cable rather than a coax cable network, utilizing greater bandwidth and standard TCP/IP communication.

IP-based digital surveillance also provides more intelligent data mining and information retrieval. If security is an issue, full digital surveillance also offers the added advantage of data encryption opportunities to protect against image tampering. (something not possible with analog recording)

The ultimate in communications accessibility, the IP Office Power User application enables employees to be as productive as possible in virtually any location or circumstance.

Armed with a laptop, Apple iPad device, Apple iPhone or Android smartphone, users can make voice or video calls, conduct and control audio conferences, view colleagues’ presence, instant message with contacts inside and outside the company, and much more. Want to empower your key associates with the tools to keep them working at maximum productivity and efficiency? The IP Office Power User application is the solution.

Taking Care of Business: IP Office Power User in Action

Being there when an important customer has a critical issue can make all the difference in the relationship.  When a key customer calls the dedicated vendor service manager, who may be on the road between clients, the IP Office Power User application enables the call to ring on both the service manager’s office and mobile phone. Using the geo-location and presence features of Power User, the Service Manager locates the tech closest to the customer. With a quick IM session right from an Apple iPhone or Android smartphone to confirm availability, the service manager can quickly call the customer back to confirm the appointment for later that morning. That’s how the Power User application helps keep communication and collaboration flowing without a hitch.
