"IP Video: Security & Surveillance Solutions for the Networked Age"
Read an excerpt:
Technology advances, strong global competition, nationwide publicity surrounding on-site violence at workplaces and schools, stinging memories of the disastrous results that can derive from easy and open access to buildings, institutions and government operations -- all these factors point to the necessity of identifying workable and financially feasible ways of protecting data, people and assets. Private security firms are expensive. Local police departments are neither designed nor able to provide 24x7 on-site protection. Locks and keys have proved to be inadequate, and many technological solutions are simply too complicated or costly to take risks.
Over the last 50 years, businesses, financial institutions and government/civic organizations have increasingly relied on analog-based video surveillance systems and Closed Circuit Television Systems (CCTV) that are a legacy of the 1930?s entertainment industry. Video surveillance has become an integral part of access control and tracking.
Aging and inadequate analog technology, with its fuzzy images, has driven technical advancements that have led to higher standards for video quality. CCTV and current analog-based video surveillance are no longer satisfactory, thanks to what are now obvious inherent inadequacies within the media and methodologies surrounding such systems. Businesses are considering - and many have already invested in - highly flexible and more reliable Internet Protocol-based digital systems, incorporating the latest electro-optical technology...
