PHYSICAL SECURITY OVER THE NETWORK

PHYSICAL SECURITY

IPTV and Video

• Many users now require CCTV recordings for 90+ days

• Focusing also on the storage and associated costs of IP Video systems

• NAS or SAN IP storage systems for large camera deployments

• What resolution … continuous or motion based recording … frame rate

• Security of the stored data is important

• Can not have data loss due to individual disk and equipment failures

• Analytics

• Based on video analysis of the feed, decision are made … store data … alter

frame rate or resolution … identify threatening/interesting events

• Video Viewing

• Most viewing is for historical investigations

• Some live streaming … in retail applications

PHYSICAL SECURITY

Resolution

• Pixel Count

• How many physical pixels can an image sensor process

• More ‘pixels’ typically means better quality, but also more bandwidth

• Sensor vs Stream

• At times the camera will ‘stream’ data at a lower resolution than its sensor

captures the image

• Could be by design or a configuration error

• Compression

• Surveillance video is almost always compressed

• Reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without impacting image quality

PHYSICAL SECURITY

PoE

• Does PoE always make an installation easier

• Some customers have experienced camera’s dropping from the network

• Secret to PoE

• In the Wire … Cat 5/5e/6 … UTP which limits crosstalk and reduces power loss

• In the Switch which acts as a power source for the camera’s

• How much power does the camera draw and can the switch support this?

• Concerns

• Higher resolution video impacts the power needs of a camera

• Compression, resolution and processing ALL takes power

• More power consumption by the camera leaves less power available for the

‘heater’ or ‘blower’ if the camera is mounted in an outdoor enclosure

Need to now monitor Power!

PHYSICAL SECURITY

Proper Network Configuration

• Verifying proper VLAN deployment

• Network VLAN

• VoIP VLAN

• IPTV VLAN

• VoD (Video on Demand) VLAN

• Managing VLAN issues

• Visibility between ‘services’ and ‘devices’

Validate correct VLAN configuration!

PHYSICAL SECURITY

Camera Characteristics

• Fixed vs PTZ vs Panoramic

• PTZ - Moveable through the use of panning, tilting and zooming

• Panoramic – can record in all directions

• Colour vs Infrared vs Thermal

• In day time or lighted areas, color cameras are obvious choice

• Standard Definition vs Megapixel

• Megapixel is now the standard resolution

• IP vs Analog

• IP cameras digitize the video inside the camera, while analog cameras require an

encoder or DVR to digitize the video

• Wired vs Wireless

• Wireless offers more flexibility but need to be vigilant with security and wi-fi

issues out of your control that can affect image quality

Lots of Data over the Network!

PHYSICAL SECURITY

Now … how do we Connect these?

• IP vs Analog

• Both IP and Analog (via an encoder) cameras can communicate over IP

• Panoramic – can record in all directions

• Wired vs Wireless

• Video can transmit through your copper/fiber infrastructure or through the ‘air’

• Wireless is gaining momentum due to higher cost of running cables

Lots of Data

over the

Network

PHYSICAL SECURITY

Viewing the Data

• Local Viewing

• Directly from the Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

• Lets the video management system double as a viewing station

• Remote PC Viewing

• Most common method

• Standard PC’s used to view live and recorded data via proprietary application or a

web browser

• Mobile Viewing

• Allows field personnel to immediately check surveillance video

• Gaining traction with growth of smartphone technology

• Video Wall Viewing

• Large security operations with hundreds or thousands of cameras

• Ability to switch and automatically display feeds from different locations

Data now over the WAN!

PHYSICAL SECURITY

Effective Troubleshooting

• Users can't connect

• Devices stop talking to each other

• Physical layer changes are causing problems

• New networking technologies have caused even more

problems

When everyday issues like these come up, the simple mandate is …

Make it work!
