Traditional Video Surveillance VS Networked Video Surveillance

Traditional Video Surveillance VS Networked Video Surveillance

CCTV surveillance system

1.Security focused, meant for monitoring by guards

2.Physically walking around site for inspection

3.Monitoring CCTV systems, only one location

4. If an incident occurs, the guards are your first level decision makers with limited information and authority

6. Comes as windows based system and virus problems

7. No integrated solution available and no warranty for product

Disadvantages of such old generation of CCTV


1. Decision makers are informed after a time delay with little to no details

2. Failure to meet the needs of growing multi-location

3.Does not give access to businesses or executives on the move

4. Dumb recording of all data- whether motion is there or not.

5. Limited Storage Capacity.

6. Does not take advantage of what internet can offer



Now Basic Market Demands are following

Basic Market Demands

1. Takes advantage of internet and counts available bandwith and gives you access for your desired location 24x7x365 with Maximum reliability, Systems Should work 24x7x365, Storage Protection.

2. Use existing network infrastructure and reuse existing wiring and cameras for low start-up and operating cost

3. Sensors can be integrated and alerts can be sent.

4. Can do motion base recording and Motion based alerts.

5. Turns Analog Video data into Digital Data can be married to business applications
example- At a ATM- the video can be sent with each ATM transaction.

6. Integrated full solution box is available with warranty.

Such a networked Video Surveillance Systems are now available in India and US markets for mid market.

The challenges for Networked Video Surveillance System in India

The challenges for networked Video Surveillance system in India are multi fold.

The main issue is the band-with for the multiple Videos to stream over the internet.

Even though the band-with is increasing in India, it is a challenge to stream multiple videos take a lot of band-with and when one is trying to stream 8, 16 or 32 videos real time.

The network Surveillance system go beyond security and provide you important business information to improve your business in many ways.

You can monitor your employees for following areas
Attendance
Over time
Customer support Quality
Training
implementation standards.

Also you can avoid thefts and unwanted intrusions.

Also one can monitor the business remotely anytime and from anywhere.


Cradle Technology with their innovative Networked Video Surveillance system is able to stream such videos real time and is able to give you remote access from home or if you are traveling via your lap top.

Staff attacks force universities to increase security

In California, many universities are finding that their scientists and their families are at risk.

As recently as this past weekend (August 3) researchers are receiving razor blades in the mail, their kids' soccer games are being littered with leaflets, fire bombings are occuring in Santa Cruz to people's cars and homes.

These are just some of the increasing threats. Universities have reacted with tougher security measures around their scientists and their homes including paying for alarm systems and security guards. In LA recently, a judge approved a restraining order that limits animal activists interactions with the scientist to 50 feet away from their home during the day and 150 feet away from their home during the night.

In these situations, Cradle's NVSS system has a number of features that are well-suited. Motion detection can help trigger alarms whenever someone enters your property after hours, enabling you to contact the authorities. Notification can also simultaneously be sent out to the necessary university security guards. The remote login feature can allow security guards, or police to log in and view recorded video, that was triggered by the motion detection.

Our high quality of video can assist in identifying the culprits.

Video Surveillance helpful to police in making arrests

In the UK, it has been found that video surveillance technology has assisted in one-third of all arrests on the West Midlands Motorway. Video surveillance cameras, pared with license plate recognition software and a variety of databases have helped police capture criminals.

People are being arrested for crimes includin: stolen cars, fraudulent identification, murder suspects and smugglers.

Cradle's NVSS system has successfully been implemented for license plate recognition with the same purposes in mind. It has proved itself to be a leader in license plate recognition capabilities.

Bank thieves caught but better security measures needed

Last month there was a robbery in Admedabad at the Nagrik Sahakari Bank. The doorman Hardik Darji, worked there for many years and was a trusted employee. He was the mastermind behind the entire plan. He left the bank strongroom (vault) door and a window open one night.

His five accomplices then broke into the locker room and pried open 14 lockers using crowbars and screwdrivers. They stole cash and jewellery valued at approximately Rs. 20 Lakh. They then tried selling the jewellery to jeweller Bharat Soni, owner of Gopi Jewellers.

A bank setup like this would require a specific surveillance system setup. Cradle's Networked Video Surveillance System (NVSS) could have assisted in catching the people immediately as they entered the bank, through motion detection sensors. If set up properly, the opening of a vault door would trigger alarms and alert bank authorities and police immediately.

As it is, the police tracked them down by leaning on Darji's friends through their mobile phones. As a result, Paresh Patel, Chandrahas Barot and Mahesh Mochi have been arrested along with the jeweller Bharat Soni.

Great job to the police department of Mehsana! The bank will obviously have to consider better security measures for itself. A networked surveillance systems such as Cradle's can go a long way in protecting everyone's best interests!

CCTV video: Woman dies while waiting at hospital

I just heard this on the news today. Apparently a woman who was waiting in the emergency room of a psychiatric ward in a hospital, fell off her chair onto the ground and was writhing in pain for one hour before she died.

That's bad enough, but what is even worse is that other patients around her didn't react, security guards and other hospital personnel noticed her at least three times on surveillance footage yet did nothing. Apparently one guard was caught on CCTV video, rolling his chair around to observe her, watching her for a few seconds and then returning to his place doing nothing.

This is absolutely atrocious! Yes we all know emergency room line ups are horrendously long. Yes, we know this is in a psychiatric ward where there have probably been lay offs etc. and they are probably short staffed. But this is a matter of life and death where all excuses should fail! The woman's wait time was over 12 hours long, and she fell with no reaction from anyone around her, even after they noticed her.

Cradle's Networked Video Surveillance System (NVSS) can assist in situations such as these. It can alert the authorities of events that take place. Also, if hospital security are aware that they themselves are being monitored by authorities higher up, they know they have to pay attention and react or they will lose their jobs.

Needless to say that 6 people have been fired in the wake of this incident. This hospital, the Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, has already been the subject of numerous complaints about the filthy conditions of the bathroom and waiting rooms. At times, people are forced to wait on mats in the waiting room and wait times can be at least 12 hours.

A court order has been given to the hospital where they are obliged to reduce wait times to 10 hours and check upon all patients every 15 minutes.

Its just too bad that all of these measures had to be taken after someone lost their life. Cradle's Networked Video Surveillance System can alert people when to act, but cannot make up for human inaction.
