CCTV- an Effective Implementation |
|

November 2008 |
We all know that CCTV stands for Closed Circuit TV and that it is mainly used for identifying thieves, burglars & naughty people. Most of us think that CCTV is part of the security industry. We are right. What we may not know is that CCTV has evolved into IPVS which stands for Internet Protocol Video Surveillance. IPVS can be closed circuit but can be narrow cast or even broadcast if desired. IP pertains to the use of standard Internet technologies for transmitting CCTV images to specified monitoring centers. This indicates a major jump in the availability of security monitoring measures and a promise of greatly reduced costs for installing and operating security surveillance systems. The use of IP as the backbone technology has prompted Compucon to branch from computer system platforms to video surveillance. Compucon has set up a 4-node system for proof of concept successfully and is in the process of installing a 12-node system for an apartment building in Auckland. In the meantime, view this link and find out what IPVS is about.
