- IPVS
In surveillance systems IPVS (IP Video Security) is a video surveillance solution that uses IP elements instead of analog elements used in
Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV).History
Since late 90's, the CCTV and video-surveillance systems started to look to the IP solutions available in the market. CCTV Digital Video recorders (DVRs) replaced old Video Cassette Recorders (VCRs), however end users demanded more connectivity and remote administration capabilities from DVRs. The video cameras used
BNC Connector s to send the video to the DVRs using analog video media (coax cable ,fiber optic , UTP cable with videobalun s, or wireless links).Some manufacturers like
Sony andAxis Communications started to make IP cameras, which could be connected directly toEthernet Networks. The monitoring and recording can be done through specialized server software from designers likeAimetis ,Milestone Systems and videoNEXT.External links
