Video Surveillance Bandwidth requirements (1/2)
Number of Cameras/streams

Camera Intelligence that includes:
Built-in motion detection to reduce bandwidth utilization
Image size/resolution
o Common Intermediate Formats (CIF) (Horizontal x Vertical resolution)


o Older D1(720*576 for PAL), Half-D1(720*288)

Frame rate supported at full resolution
PAL format : 25 Frames/s,
NTSC format (used mostly in North America) : 30 Frames/s

Compression algorithm
A function of delay, quality requirements and available bandwidth and storage
For example, 4CIF/PAL uncompressed is just over 10Mbps but with MPEG-4 it is
reduced to 2Mbps

Key Advantages of Video Surveillance using todays Digital Technology
Future-proofing through
interoperable components
Reduced Total Cost of
Ownership through IP Networking
Advantages
Lower Installation Cost
Better video quality and
other value-added features
Digital cameras can be connected and powered by PoE
Multiple cameras can use the same cable
Changing camera placement is simple just remove and plug into
another network jack
Cameras can be placed almost anywhere and then accessed via
desktop computer, laptop, PDA and even cellular phone
IP video surveillance systems scale easily from one to thousands of
cameras in increments of a single camera
Cameras have IP addresses just like any other network device you
already have
IP networking enables you to leverage existing infrastructure such as
servers, switches and cabling
There is no need for complicated proprietary hardware and dedicated
monitors
IP networking eliminates the need for a control room at each location
Live camera feeds can be accessed over the Internet from any location
Freedom of choice in hardware, software, and other components.
The digital I/O is convenient to integrate with other security
equipment like lighting, gates and doors.
The ability to integrate through the network with other business
systems, such as ATMs, ERPs, and POS systems, etc.
Less expensive and time-consuming of redundant and
replacement systems
Greater availability of powerful software management tools for
monitoring, accessing and storing video
Digital cameras provide up to 16 times the resolution of traditional analog
cameras
Camera manufacturers are focusing on innovative and advanced digital camera
features while interest in analog cameras wanes
Fast search and retrieval capabilities
Intelligence at the camera level can include detection of motion, identification,
Digital cameras can save and send the images collected before an alarm occurred
and the alarm put the camera in record mode
Easier to monitor & manage cameras just like any network device

Bandwidth Needs and Network Segmentation
Operator selecting a CCTV camera stream
Centralized and/or distributed
M cameras in parallel * Y Mb/s -> 1 GE to 10GE

Storage
N cameras in parallel * y Mb/s -> could go up to 10GE access to the
network

Build a routed core to route the traffic to the receiver
Flexible
Only route requested video stream through the core


Build an access layer to aggregate the camera streams
10/100 Mb to 1G uplink

Build a layer 2 aggregation network to aggregate the different
access network to the core

Cellular Roaming
Wireless roaming patterns differ in normal vs. transit case
In a WLAN environment the user
moves from one cell to another in
any direction
In a transit WLAN the user moves
from cell to cell in a linear
manner, thereby providing a
means to extend cell size by using
directional high gain antennas
