Security & Video Surveillance

Deployment of IP addressable cameras, video encoders, DVRs and NVRs as well as access control equipment will expand, as Ethernet becomes the communication network for security and surveillance. Multicast transmissions will provide greater video capability while also putting greater traffic and variable loads on the network. Video device performance may be questioned when, in reality, it was a network issue such as a poorly performing switch or connection causing the problem.

IntraVUE™ has been adopted by several Video Surveillance equipment companies to help enhance their hardware offering and simplify support. IntraVUE has been enhanced to offer graphical and topological viewing of both Analog cameras and IP cameras in hybrid applications.

IntraVUE is already in use for surveillance applications by the US government, Armed Services, Hospitals, Warehouse/Distribution Centers, Municipal, and many other security applications. IntraVUE has been used in many high security applications in which the performance of the network is critical.

Video Surveillance applications are going through a transition as analog cameras are being replaced by IP based cameras. In many applications a hybrid mix of analog and IP based cameras will be common for system upgrades. Storage media and multiple access stations will also be IP based. Security and Video Surveillance technicians will require a method to help analyze disruptions as connection and bandwidth problems occur.
