TESC and the FutureThe next series of articles is going to take you through what we at TESC are looking at for the future. TESC is a total surveillance solution provider – not an over the counter CCTV wholesaler. I am going to show you the short term end point with our Digital Surveillance Solution (DSS). Thereafter we are going to walk through the various components;
Next I will escort you through the IP Surveillance Solutions;
And lastly i will discuss the convergence of IP and Legacy Systems;
Digital Surveillance SystemWe start off this discussion by looking at the DSS. Without understanding this application – it would be hard to fit all the different hardware and software solutions into context. DSS is an advanced surveillance concept, expected to be way ahead of most enterprise scale surveillance solutions. Many companies will be growing into this application over the next few years.
DSS is intended to integrate all the surveillance components for large scale or mission critical surveillance. These surveillance solutions span enterprise and national borders, linking global locations.
Video and Audio files from across the system are available throughout the network , for sharing, downloading, accessing, viewing – via the MTS. When you have a large number of devices distributed — updating software, configuration, maintenance, interfacing of different devices, etc goes beyond what can be achieved at each device. Devices are pulled into a database, and all these tasks are managed via the DMS. Think of switching video from one device to another location, managing when and where output is displayed, respoinding to alerts! The Video Matrix Server is in control. Storage is one of the most critical components of large scale surveillance systems of this nature. Storage needs to be setup to reconstruct after network outages and handling of hardware failures. The Storage Server is responsible for this critical function. The Web server allows your users to access the entire system and to interface with the system database. The database is the core of your surveillance data management. It is here that various video and data inputs are processed in order to generate meaningful security information. IntegrationDSS brings all the Legacy analog systems, IP Cameras, PC based DVR’s, Standalone DVR’s, Hybrid DVR’s and Network Video Servers together. All the talk is about – switching to IP, but the concern right now is bringing IP and Legacy systems together into a meaningful system. DSS is intended to incorporate compatability with popular hardware, to maximize it’s efficiency – and interoperability is a major development focus. DSS is designed to be easily installed, configured and used. Systems of this scale have specialized load balancing, clustering, standby, and self monitoring/maintaining requirements. DSS has been designed with careful attention to these details. It may have taken a few lines to outline DSS —- but you can see the scope of this application and it’s intended deployment. With DSS, existing surveillance systems don’t need to be discarded. New technology can be plugged into the existing systems.
Total SolutionIn subsequent articles we will be better positioned to discuss the individual hardware elements that combine under DSS, now that we have examined the umbrella, under which the total system is encapsulated. Having examined DSS it should be obvious, that TESC is not focussed on importing the cheapest CCTV components and selling them over the counter to small time installers. TESC is focussed on a meaningful , Total System Solution concept, that will meet the needs of our select customers for years to come. TESC only partners with an elite, select group of national installation providers. For information contact TESC. info@cctvpro.co.za http://cctvpro.co.za Tel: +27 (31) 464 0781 |
