Architecture to support heterogeneous devices for video surveillance system

Abstract

Recently, IT technologies are getting focused indifferent traditional industries. The large scaled intelligent video surveillance system is one of them and it integrates large number of digitalized CCTV devices through the Web. However, existing video devices have been deployed for several dozens of years by different vendors as different models with different specifications. To integrate these heterogeneous devices, the centralized management server (CMS) and its clients need a specialized architecture to deal with different types of mediacodings and connection protocols etc. In this paper, we designed and implemented a server that incorporates the architecture to deliver video streams from different types of video devices to multiple clients.
