IP CCTV Surveillance Systems are increasingly offering greater functionality when compared with the traditional analogue systems.
Within the security industry, IP based Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) is being developed to utilise the benefits of sharing corporate computer network infrastructure and with the development of megapixel cameras, provide very high resolution images.
The use of IP CCTV allows utilisation of advanced analytics (such as ANPR, face recognition, trip wire, loitering detection, move detection(by colour, direction, speed or shape) and higher level integration with associated electronic security systems (intruder & fire alarms, building management systems (BMS), access control and environmental monitoring).
The combined system can be presented anywhere on the network for system Operators as touch screen graphical user interfaces (GUI) and managed by specialised Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software providing audit trails of system activity.
