Connect your networked video products directly to a computer network or modem, and you'll have access to live video streams directly from your desktop using a standard Web browser. You can set up the system to save the video data to a file server at certain time intervals or when motion is detected, for later viewing and analysis. Share the images with a small working group or with the whole Internet community.
Some of the product features that can be used in your application include:
- alarm
- motion detection
- e-mail notification
- video recording
- remote camera operation for wide/detailed views
- Pan/Tilt/Zoom control
Market applications include:
Education
Network video products can be used to remotely monitor school property and deter vandalism. A sophisticated, built-in motion detection system can generate an alarm, which automatically transmits images to your security operators giving them accurate, up-to-the-minute information upon which to base their decisions.
Another interesting area of application for this technology is remote learning. A Network video solution can be used to make attending lectures "at a distance" a viable option for students who are unable to attend lectures in person.
With the use of network cameras and a private area on the Internet, day care centers can meet requests from anxious parents who want to check on their children from home or work.
Government
Use technical and medical expertise more efficiently. Eliminate time consuming trips to remote buildings or offices in person. Live, high-resolution images enable remote personnel to see particular issues that are being discussed during conference calls.
Industrial
Give staff visual access to critical points along the production line. Discover and avoid potentially dangerous incidents at an early stage. Save money by preventing costly production jams.
Keep project management informed about the real time status at a construction site. Save time and money by following the progress of the building remotely over the Internet.
Monitor the physical conditions of remote equipment to prevent potentially costly malfunctions. With a networked video device focused on the critical observation area, you can troubleshoot remotely, even without an Internet connection. Use a cellular phone modem or a standard telephone jack for the connection, and sensors to detect activity.
Retail
Monitor your shop and follow the business from the comfort of your home or office. A camera facing the entrance can capture a snapshot of each visitor. Store the images remotely to ensure the visual evidence is out of reach of potential criminals.
Transportation
Allow citizens to check up-to-date traffic conditions on busy highways and street intersections. Provide real-time traffic information to the police. Let the city authorities monitor the traffic flow.
Office environments
Simply add a network camera to your existing network and follow what's going on from any computer on the network. Keep an eye on sensitive areas such as the server room. Screen visitors and remotely open or unlock the door from a remote PC. Reduce staff by having employees watch visitors arrive in the reception from their office workstations.
Restaurant owners can maximize profits, control costs and deter loss through the ability to monitor businesses from anywhere in the world.
