Network video servers
Network
video servers, also known as IP video servers, turn any CCTV camera (with a
standard BNC output) into a network security camera (Ethernet/CAT-5 output).
The purpose of a network video server is to translate the analog signal from
CCTV cameras into a digital and IP based video stream capable of being
broadcast over an IP network. IP video servers have built in software that
allow users to connect to their cameras through a standard Internet Explorer
web browser. Some video servers also allow you to connect to your camera using
NVR software (network video recording).
A
network video server, also known as an IP video server, is a very handy piece
of hardware for any surveillance system installer to be familiar with. Below we
will describe a few different types of surveillance applications that these
servers can be used in.
Network Video Server Application #1
Surveillance
Application Example #1 Requirements: In this example, the customer wants to
view a single camera over the Internet using Internet Explorer. The customer
wants a good quality outdoor / weatherproof camera with infrared / night vision
capability. The customer is more interested in the live viewing. Recording the
video is not a priority and if it is done, just basic recording features are
needed.
Surveillance
Application Example #1 Solution: CCTV Camera Pros would first recommend the
appropriate outdoor IR security camera. The camera would connect to the network
video server using coax cable and BNC connectors. The network video server
would connect to the customer’s network router which would in turn be connected
to a high speed modem or some kind of existing high speed network. This would
make the IR security camera accessible for live viewing over the local network
and could also be viewed remotely over the Internet if the appropriate port
forwarding and firewall rules were configured.
Network Video Server Application #2
Surveillance
Application Example #2 Requirements: In this example, the customer has a
facility with two separate buildings. The customer would like to have security
cameras installed in both buildings and have a single recorder record the
cameras in both buildings. The customer would also like to view all cameras
from both buildings remotely over the Internet. The customer has high speed
Internet access at both buildings and both buildings share the same local area
network.
Surveillance
Application Example #2 Solution: CCTV Camera Pros would recommend using a hybrid
digital video recorder capable of supporting both CCTV cameras as well as IP
cameras and IP video servers. Either the Geovision or NUUO hybrid DVR/NVR systems
would work well. If the system would expand past 16 cameras, then the NUUO NVR
system would be recommended, as it can support up to 64 security cameras.
The
building with the most cameras would be the chosen location of the DVR. The
cameras in the building with the DVR would be hard wired to the DVR using RG59
coax cable or BNC plug and play cables. Each camera in the remote building
(where the DVR is not located) would be connected to a video server. Each video
server would be connected to the network switch located in the remote building.
Each video server would be assigned a unique local IP address. The DVR located
in the other building would be able to access each of the remote cameras using
the IP addresses of it’s corresponding video server. All cameras would now be
managed and recorded by the central DVR / NVR, and because the DVR has a build
in web server, all cameras can be accessed remotely over the Internet or over
the local area network on one central screen / system using the Internet Explorer
web browser.
