What IP-CCTV Isnt!

The Misconceptions: What Live Networked Video Isnt

Web cams ! Low frame rate (1,2 frames per sec) Difficult to scale Low resolution Poorly integrated Low quality USB connectivity

Top 5 Pre Spec Questions

Q1 How much bandwidth does a camera require?
H.261 (Upto 1.5Mbs) MJPEG (Upto 2Mbs) MPEG2/4 (up to 8Mbs)

Q2 How much storage do I require?

16 cams for 30 days = 4.7TB (8 @ 750Kbs, 8 @ 1.2Mbs)

Q3 I have been told that Multicasting is a bad thing!

No problems using using Layer 3 Switched, IGMP enabled networks

Q4 How do I control movable cameras?

Interface via standard RS232, 485, or 422 serial comms

Q5 How many cameras can I deploy?

Using distributed rec, ctrl, and viewing over a correctly designed network there are no real limits!!! (Caltrans 17000 cams, Brussels 700 cams etc)

Case Study 1

Utilities

Utilities Case Study

Background Responsible for the Delivery of electricity to 2.4 million customers over a 26,000 sq. kms service area Power derived from nuclear, oil, gas and wind 47500kms of overhead line, 32500kms of underground cable, 70kms of submarine cable

Extensive distribution network into Southwest England and South Wales

105 remote substations varying in step-up capacity 132KV up to 400KV

>70,000 km of quality ITU-T G652 fibre installed on the power transmission lines owned by them and operated by their sister company

Utilities Case Study

Drivers

A pair of real time eyes in the remote substation is essential to monitor coolant levels
within high voltage transformers. Unplanned power interruption must be kept to a minimum avoiding wide spread disruption and customer disappointment

Extensive Cisco metro Ethernet network already deployed typically Gbit Ethernet to
remote substations. Some WAN links as low as 128Kb/s Chosen solution must be flexible enough to grow as and when new substations are added into the power distribution network. Video must be fit for purpose with minimal latency when using PTZ dome cameras Technology must support multicast video allowing for efficient use of network bandwidth and enabling multiple operators access to the same video stream Ability to ensure remote substation is secure and audio back to remote site to deter vandalism

Utilities Case Study

Solution Full implementation if IP CCTV surveillance was deployed and based on DestinyIPTM Dome camera deployed with remote substation allowing service operator to monitor coolant levels with in 400KV transformers, giving visual indication of working status. Smooth integration of multicast video due to Cisco architecture supporting multicast with out need for costly network configuration Easy upgrade path for future camera/recording additions made possible using DestinyIPTM Acceptable/Usable PTZ latency typically <300ms over Metro Ethernet offering responsive PTZ operation Remote audio capabilities presented back to remote substation allowing operator to deter anti social/dangerous behaviour

Utilities Case Study

ROI Removed the need for multiple field coolant engineers, coolant checks managed from HQ. Coolant level sensor also migrated onto IP network video providing visual verification of alarm Minimises possibility of unplanned interruption, early deployment of rapid response teams. PTZ, Video, and Audio over single cable cost saving over and above the analogue equivalent. To enable better emergency response to life or death situations

Utilities Case Study

Further Uses To enable early warning of criminal activity. To provide notification and visual verification of intruder alarm triggers. Integration of access control providing visual verification of person entering substation. Migration of existing external CCTV cameras on to IP network. Two way audio/video between HQ and on site engineer/contractor verification of work carried out.

Education

Education Case Study

Background Many distributed sites within towns, cities, boroughs and counties Discrete buildings to large sprawling campuses Normally open access to sites at all times bar dead of night Typically low budget CCTV installs but sizeable IT spends High cost of guarding for large campuses (10ks pa) Hitherto additional cost of dial-up or leased line to transmit remote video now broadband Internet services (10ks)

Education Case Study

Drivers Improve the consistency of quality of security and surveillance To maintain free and open access to individuals but to enable protection against crime Police requirement for visual verification of alarm

To maximise the use of network video for non-security applications and hence place more justification within the IT spend
To minimise the cost of manned guarding wherever possible To minimise the daytime load on the broadband WAN service, but to make use of during night time

Education Case Study

Solution Using existing council owned/run town centre monitoring stations. Ability to link legacy systems via transparent video / audio and data links Daytime alarm verification by admin staff further reducing costs of on site/visiting security guards

Increase in effectiveness due to use of highly trained/skilled operators and system intelligence
Reduced insurance premiums through improved emergency response effectiveness Better analysis and control of some business processes (supplier mgt) Night time uses existing broadband links that are dormant out of school hours
