Breaking down the benefits of a distributed architecture
There are typically two different approaches to storing data in an IP video system: using a centralized architecture with a master database located in the central control room or head office and using a distributed architecture that spreads the data around the security management system, keeping it close to where it is produced or needed.

Storage is intimidating. Products and solutions are sprinkled with acronyms and terms even seasoned network professionals find confusing and often can’t accurately define. Architectures vary enough from vendor to vendor that comparisons are difficult.
New concept for CCTV describes key elements in design
IP-CCTV systems are not just a cheaper and more flexible alternative to traditional analog systems— they have opened up new opportunities for security that are simply not possible with the old technology. They are changing the way the security industry implements CCTV surveillance and have spawned a new concept—mega video solutions.
Megapixel cameras playing into the gaming surveillance market
The action is fast, and the stakes are high. Fortunes are won or lost on the turn of a card or a roll of the dice. It’s where the rush of adrenaline meets the hope of beating the mathematical odds. And it’s the perfect application for IP video surveillance using powerful megapixel cameras.
Storage choices can be confusing. There’s a lot of terminology relating to both quantitative and qualitative differences. It’s easy for novices to get tripped up. Given that video surveillance applications can consume massive amounts of storage capacity, even in small environments, here’s some basic information about how storage scales.
