Video Surveillance System : A Centralised Monitoring System



Video Surveillance System is used for the purpose of monitoring the peoples to note their behavior and activities usually for managing or protecting them mostly from threats. Video Surveillance includes observation of peoples from a remote distance with the use of electronic equipments such as CCTV cameras, traffic cameras, interception of Internet traffic, and interception of video calls.

Video Surveillance System is most important thing for governments to maintain social control in the country or state to recognize and monitor threats and easy to investigate criminal activity so that it can be prevented.

 Video Surveillance cameras are used for the purpose of observing an area so that we can take note of activity of that area. These video surveillance cameras are connected to an electronic recording device at back end and continuously watched by security personals so that they can keep a watch on that particular area from central system. The tools used in video surveillance system used to be relatively expensive and every time it requires a human interaction to monitor camera footage but by the advancement of technology and by the use of automated software it becomes simple. Automated software makes use of searchable database and video analysis software to analyze digital video footage so that the possible threats can be detected.  

Types of storage technologies:

  • Storage area networks
  • Network video recorders
  • Direct attached storage
  • Digital video recorders
  • Network attached storage
  • Unified storage or Hybrid storage

The disadvantage of video surveillance system is that is very expensive because of its expensive tools.  But nowadays with the use of cheaper production techniques surveillance cameras are simple and so inexpensive that they can be deployed at homes for security purposes.

American government spending billions of dollars per year in Homeland Security to install advanced video surveillance equipments to observe peoples, places or things so that the data can be used by security agencies to investigate criminal activities or to find suspicious activities.  

Chinese government is working closely with several US companies such as Honeywell, IBM and General Electric to install millions of surveillance cameras throughout china along with the some advanced technologies such as facial recognition system and video analytics software which will help Chinese government to identify and track individuals everywhere and wherever they go. 

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is funding a research project related to video surveillance called Combat Zones. This Project consists of linking up cameras across a city to a centralized monitoring station so that security agencies can use that data to identify and track peoples and vehicles and report any suspicious activity. 

Many times governments claim that cameras are meant to be used for traffic control but most of the time they end up doing general surveillance. 

Market Report:

It is expected that there is an increase in adoption of Video Surveillance Storage solutions as top vendors and companies related to video surveillance market are developing cost effective and technologically advanced solutions and in addition they they are heavily investing in the storage solutions. Global Video Surveillance Storage Market is forecasted to reach to $10.41 billion by 2018 from $4.90 billion in 2013 at an Compound Annual Growth Rate CAGR of 16.3 % from 2013 to 2018.

Network Configuration Management And Change Management : Why spend time manually configuring network devices.

Number of Computers inter-connected to each other with the help of some components is called as computer network and the process of organizing and maintaining the information about the components of that computer network is called as Network Configuration Management


blogs.manageengine.com

As computer network is widely used in an organization and due the wide usage it requires maintenance, repair, expansion, modification frequently and every time it is not possible for a network administrator to look for each and every components and their faults, so to make this process easy the administrator make the use of the network configuration management database to determine the best. The database of network configuration management contains the network address and the locations of all hardware devices with the information about the versions, programs and updates installed on network computers.

Network Configuration Management tools are in different versions such as vendor neutral or vendor specific.

Vendor Neutral tools are designed for networks containing programs and hardware from multiple suppliers. 

Vendor Specific tools are usually designed for the products of a single company and it can offer enhanced performance in networks.

Advantages of Network Configuration Management


  • It helps to optimize network security and protects from harmful security breaches.
  • It helps to streamline the processes of expansion, maintenance, repair and up gradation.
  • It also helps to archived the detail of all changes happened in network configuration.
  • It helps to minimize configuration errors.
  • It also stores history of configuration so that we can roll back to any previous configuration if results are unsatisfactory or not up to the mark.
  • It helps to minimize downtime.
  • It also ensures that changes made to a device or system do not affect adversely to other devices or systems.

Change Management:

The name itself suggest that it plays the important role in the changes happen to take place in network configuration. Change Management process can be defined as the process of requesting, determining, planning, implementing, and then evaluating the changes taken place into a network configuration. The two main goals of change management are to support the processing of changes and enabling traceability of changes.

There are five main activities which combines and forms the change management process are as follows:


  1. Identify potential change.
  2. Analyze change request.
  3. Evaluate change.
  4. Plan change.
  5. Implement change and Review and close change.
