Scenario: Securing Separate Offices

For companies with very large factories and/or separate offices, real-time remote monitoring has always been a problem. Traditional CCTV closed-circuit systems require direct connections to monitoring devices which are very costly for companies that span large areas and/or multiple locations. With ubiquitous broadband Internet connections, real-time remote surveillance is becoming more mature and stable.

Video Servers coupled with CCTV cameras reduce the total cost of installation by removing the need to string cable to all the cameras. These systems can be monitored at any time from any location with an Internet connection. Furthermore, they can be connected to alarms and control systems, both directly and indirectly, and can be configured to send reports and/or notifications of events, and even start/stop recording.

Design Concept:
A customer would like a solution that combines video surveillance with an entry control system to monitor the entry/exit of over a thousand employees, and to ensure that all the employees follow the proper procedure upon entry/exit.

Required Functionality:

	The security control center monitor must be able to simultaneously display real-time video from all cameras. The control center must be able to record all digital video from all cameras, as well as event specific video. Moreover, it must be able to control the frame rate, and have the ability to playback and retain a given number of days worth of video clips.
	In a controlled area a camera must be installed at a control point. When an event occurs, the video display will pop-up on the monitor at the security control center as well as begin recording.
	All features of all cameras, including PTZ, must be controllable from the control center and from other remote locations.
	The smart-card reader that is used for entry/exit must be able to connect to the system so that only specific events will cause a notification to be sent or the recording to start.
	Various alarms such as motion detectors, smoke detectors, temperature monitors, infrared, etc. can be connected to an IO controller which is in turn connected to the Internet. Once it is connected to the Internet, it can be used in conjuction with a Network Camera or Video Server. When an event occurs, the system can be configured to send/record more video for bigger events or less with smaller events, or any number of combinations in order to operate more efficiently.
	Certain alarms, such as infrared, can be connected directly to a Network Camera or Video Server. The network video server must then be configured to take the appropriate action, i.e. send a notification or record video, when an event occurs.

System Efficiency:

	Using the Internet, video can be monitored at any time from any location with an Internet connection.
	Stored digital video clips are easier to search and playback than video tape.
	Network digital video surveillance systems are easier to maintain. It is much more convenient to add, repair, or remove control points an d other monitored areas.
