IP-based Video Surveillance

This is the seminar handout of our 1-day seminar "IP-based Video Surveillance".

The seminar handout provides totally independent information about the technology of networked, IP based video surveillance systems. Video interfaces, coding technologies, required components and transport protocols will be explained.

WHY should you read the book:

- because you are interested in network-based video surveillance systems
- because you have to select interfaces and coding technologies
- because you need fully independent knowledge about components and vendors

WHO should read the book:

Decision makers, planners, project managers, system specialists, system integrators, sales support, consultants.
