ONVIF Standard for CCTV A standard for CCTV device communication published by a consortium of manufacturers Defines the protocol used to communicate with the camera “The Peclo-D of the IP world…” Does not dictate feature and function
ONVIF Standard Pros Allows a truly open system to exist Allows simple and quick integration to become reality Offers flexibility to owners
ONVIF Standard Cons Adoption by manufacturers takes time… The protocol provides multiple options that lead to incompatibilities Sections of the protocol are still being refined
Virtual Matrix For Enterprise Level Command Centers Virtual Matrix Switching PLC/Keypad/Joystick Control with Banks of Monitors 19
Virtual Matrix Controller Supports extensive command and control centers with large, widescreen, HD monitors. Image provided courtesy of Winsted Corporation. 20
Virtual Matrix Controller One VMDC can support: Maximum number of video streams will vary depending on video resolutions, frame rates and compression formats. X 150 Up to 150 concurrent video streams Up to 6 monitors Image provided courtesy of Winsted Corporation. Up to 4 keypads 21
Virtual Matrix Controller Multiple VMDCs networked together can support: Just about any size installation and any configuration! 22
Virtual Matrix Controller Local and remote control can be shared by multiple operators 23
Virtual Matrix Controller Graphically represents the layout of customized monitor displays 24
Display Challenges We have witnessed dramatic growth in video data: Mega-Pixel cameras for the price of D1 High FPS New compression algorithm (H.264) An expectation to display more cameras per monitor Existing decoding becomes much more processor intensive Embedded decoders are no longer strong enough We are going back to the PC for More Horse power
New Technology – New Issues Newest Generation of IP Video Systems Presents New Challenges: Systems are entirely IP They include megapixel cameras with significantly higher picture resolution Ease of connectivity is facilitating more cameras-per-system Need for More Resources!
The Impact of Megapixel Cameras
Small Number of Video Tiles CPU
Large Number of Video Tiles CPU
Considerations For Display Multiple parameters need to be taken under consideration: What type cameras are used? Standard or High Definition Compression used (today safe to assume H.264) What frame rate is being displayed? How many monitors are being used for display? How many cameras are expected to be shown on each monitor The more complex the display pattern is, the more these parameters need to be taken into consideration The flexibility of VMDC allows adding more decoders controlled by the main system
Vicon Mobile Application Server side includes transcoding – requires stronger machines to support multi streaming. Covers iPad, iPhone, Android phones and tablets Schedule – Support for all platforms – release expected in April 2013
Vicon Mobile Application The nature of the mobile devices requires: JPEG transmission for multiple picture Parallel processing for multiple devices Support of different rate communication (wireless and 3/4G) Access to playback from the same server / mobile This requires a scalable architecture

Simpler Tools As the technology and options keep progressing The installation and operation of the VMS becomes very complex Main goal on the road map is to provide simpler tools for the common tasks
Recording Manager Simpler way to use and define recording on NVRs Meant to replace the need to create recording macros / schedules Macro will still be available for complex recording Allows 24/7 or motion based recording schemes
Thumbnail Search Quick visual method to search through video Thumbnails spread evenly across the time User can narrow down or expand the search period Single click on thumbnail launches playback Video export available from interface Thumbnail search works on any connected camera
Microsoft Active Directory Support ViconNet has its own user group and user list On systems running MS Active directory this requires maintaining a redundant list Integrating with AD allows working with the same user / password lists as the entire computer network Login authentication is done with the AD server so changes automatically apply to ViconNet ViconNet permission are still managed in the VMS
Video Masking in VMS Different from masking in the camera Mask is created centrally in the VMS (on the Nucleus) Mask is projected in all ViconNet application (mobile in future) Authorized user can “Un-Mask” a live or playback image Un authorized user always see a masked image
