Head In The Clouds Or Feet On The Ground? Cloudview Launches Video IP Cloud Device

By Tom Reeve on March 5, 2014 The developers behind Jabbakam, the cloud-based online video surveillance and security system, have redeveloped and re-launched the product as a corporate-grade surveillance solution under the name Cloudview. I sat down with Cloudview founder James Wickes recently to find out why he thinks his solution will revolutionise the corporate security market. Jabbakam was developed in 2010 as a video management system to allow people to record CCTV surveillance video to an internet server and view the footage online. It also allows users to network IP cameras together and share the footage either privately or with a wider audience. The Jabbakam VMS works with its own brand cameras or a selected range of IP cameras from companies such as Y-Cam and Axis. Despite being designed primarily for the domestic market, Jabbakam attracted a great deal of interest from the corporate market, Wickes said. “On the basis of that, we developed Cloudview and changed the company name.” With Cloudview, the product is first and foremost an analogue camera solution. Using a Cloudview video network adapter (VNA), users can stream analogue cameras to the cloud storage system using automatic event triggers or manual activation. The VNA includes a built-in video encoder, SD card slot for local storage and network adapter as well as a USB slot for plugging in a wireless network adapter or 3G wifi device. Simples Wickes said that Jabbakam had taught him the importance of keeping things simple. “The key challenges highlighted through […]

The Road To Interoperability With ONVIF

By Kirsty McMahon on February 19, 2014 Guest article by Scott Hudson, V ice-Chairman of the Technical Services Committee for ONVIF. Within the security market, hybrid environments are becoming more and more common. With a myriad of products from different manufacturers, wouldn’t it be nice, with little or no effort, to have these products work seamlessly with one another — a true plug-and-play scenario? Standards-based interfaces, such as those offered through ONVIF, the open industry forum for IP-based physical security products, have addressed the issue of interoperability among products at a basic level. While true plug-and-play capabilities can be difficult to achieve across multiple manufacturers, ONVIF addresses this interoperability through the definition of compatible specifications known as Profiles. At a minimum, certain functionalities must be supported for conformance with ONVIF’s profiles for video management, recording and access control. For example, Profile S for video streaming specifies how to stream video using RTSP, while Profile G for video recording specifies how to configure and start a recording. The specific details are defined in each respective Profile Specification available from the ONVIF site. While ONVIF provides a common definition that all of these conformant devices must follow, the challenge has been that while products may be in conformance with a profile, there can be some latitude in the extent to which various products achieve that conformance. Complying with the profile puts everyone on equal footing, but levels of performance may vary from meeting the minimum requirements to well exceeding it. So […]

Taipei Airport Administration Bureau Deploys Surveon Megapixel Solutions

18-02-2014 As one of the top ten international airports, its administration bureau carries important functions in terms of managing daily operations. Deploying security at the highest level is a must for the bureau and megapixel surveillance is the obvious choice. Since conventional analogue solutions cannot meet the surveillance requirements in terms of resolution and central management, megapixel solutions are a must. However, high resolution could potentially weigh down the recording performance and cause reliability issues. Any video loss is unacceptable. In addition, integration and flexible surveillance controls are also required to ensure safety, security and cost-efficiency. The Surveon CAM4365, 3 megapixel WDR dome, offers high resolution of 2048×1536 and excellent image quality; its industrial-grade, ruggedised IP66 design, vandal proof, and auto focus features also make it suitable for outdoor use.  In addition, Surveon’s latest CAM4471 camera expands real-time/30 FPS performance to 3 megapixel while maintaining true HDR with over 100dB to ensure higher quality.  Compared with the conventional all-in-one NVR, the Surveon NVR2100 with pre-integrated SAS subsystem storage is capable of continuous megapixel recording and allows applications and networks to work independently and reduces the possibility of malfunctioning caused by them interfering with each other.  It is professionally designed for mission-critical security applications because of its high performance and reliability.  The Surveon VMS Enterprise software offers levels of user privileges for different authorities, allowing one single login to VMS with a flexible control. The intuitive UI also simplifies the complicated video management, requiring only minimal trainings to fully control and conduct the VMS. Built on the open […]

Hollywood Comes To Video Surveillance

Dailies. B-Rolls. Circle-Takes. These digital video oriented processes of the “Hollywood” production marketplace have –for nearly a decade now– seen an explosion in the volume of recorded video that must be stored and managed. Entirely new workflows have been created to handle the deluge of video that digital movie-set cameras have unleashed. In the old days parts of movies, TV shows, and commercials would end up on the “cutting room floor” as sections of film were edited out of the production. Nowadays, every “take” is kept and possibly re-used in the bloopers edition or the director’s cut release.
