IPCCTV

The benefits of CCTV are both accepted and understood. However, traditional analogue CCTV systems can be complex and expensive to acquire deploy and manage. That's where EMNET's IP CCTV systems can make a real difference:

• Bringing the additional functionality of digital imaging
• Dramatically cutting the cost and complexity of storage and networking in digital IP format

The power of digital imaging is in the codifying of the complicated image 'frame' into digital IP code. Once codified it is possible to identify changes between 'frames' and forming the basis for an array of functionality and greatly reducing network traffic loading.

By digitally monitoring frame changes EMNET's IP CCTV cameras identify EVENTS - for example a person entering or leaving your building or a person loitering outside your building. Heat sensitive cameras provide additional security for nighttime surveillance.

Once an event is 'recognised' security personal are immediately alerted to view the camera footage. Integrated VoIP functionality enables standard recorded voice warning messages to be automatically triggered or for security personnel to speak to suspects in real time. Footage is stored, indexed and date stamped by event, enabling rapid review and retrieval of and digital encryption means images are 'tamper proof' and admissible as evidence in any subsequent legal proceedings.

The power of digital imaging extends the application of IP CCTV beyond traditional security applications. Recognition of digital facial features can be used to monitor footfall and movement of customers within a retail store. Deployment in sensitive locations such as store checkouts and warehouses can minimise skimming and shrinkage and still photographs can be automatically triggered, for instance on entry or exit from a building or by financial transactions over standard floor limits. The combination of triggers and events means the applications of IP CCTV are almost limitless.

What's more, digital image data can be managed, stored and networked using standard PC formats meaning that CCTV need no longer be a 'Black Art' managed outside standard IT strategy and policy. Further with data storage and transmission greatly reduced by sending and storing only changes to 'digital frames' and only 'frames' associated with 'events', the requirements and costs associated are reduced by multiples. Images could even be stored on standard CDs.

Security Centres can be centralised or localised at one or multiple locations using standard PC equipment and existing IP LAN and WAN facilities; therefore maximizing flexibility, resilience and disaster recovery options whilst minimising infrastructure costs. In fact, such is the flexibility of IP CCTV and networking, that images could be viewed or retrieved and reviewed from your own home over a standard broadband connection.

Of course, purchasing an IP CCTV solution from EMNET means that we integrate the solution into your existing IP Network environment; leveraging our unique skills and experience in QOS deployment to manage the implications of running IP CCTV throughout your company's IP network; ensuring that all your critical applications can run effectively and simultaneously without the prohibitive costs of deploying application infrastructure.
