Modern security challenges require the implementation of effective solutions capable of ensuring reliable monitoring of facilities and protection against threats. A video surveillance system is a powerful tool for addressing these issues. It not only allows for round-the-clock monitoring of the territory, but also provides video recording for subsequent analysis. Video surveillance systems can include high-resolution cameras, cloud storage, and intelligent video analysis algorithms, which allow for the detection of suspicious activity and automation of the response process.

The system provides real-time event tracking, enabling rapid response to incidents. Data recording and archiving enable effective investigation and analysis of incidents. Integration with access control and alarm systems enhances security, providing a comprehensive approach to facility protection. The documentation describes the key components of the system, its advantages, and its capabilities for improving security at protected facilities.

Glossary

IP video cameras are modern video surveillance devices that transmit data via the Internet or a local network. They provide high image quality and remote access to real-time video.

There are several types of IP video cameras:

1. IP video cameras with IR illumination — cameras equipped with infrared LEDs that allow recording in the dark, providing a clear image even in the absence of visible light.

2. Varifocal cameras — have an adjustable focal length, allowing to adjust the viewing angle and image scale depending on specific tasks.

3. Outdoor cameras — designed for outdoor installation, they offer increased protection against weather conditions and vandalism.

4. Office cameras — optimized for indoor use, often have a stylish design and can be integrated with security systems.

5. PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras — a type of IP video camera that has pan, tilt, and zoom functions. These functions allow the operator to control the camera remotely, changing the viewing angle and zooming in or out on the image.


Data storage servers are specialized devices or systems designed to store, manage, and provide access to data. They play a key role in information technology infrastructure, especially in organizations with ever-growing amounts of data.

1. Functionality:

2. Performance and scalability — modern storage servers can be scaled according to business needs, allowing new equipment to be added as data volumes grow.

3. Security — data storage servers may include encryption and access control features to protect confidential information.


Switch — network device that connects various devices in a local area network (LAN) and manages data transfer between them. Switches operate at the data link layer (layer 2 of the OSI model) and use MAC addresses to determine the destination of a data packet. Switches ensure efficient traffic distribution, reducing collisions and improving overall network performance. They can be either managed (with configuration and monitoring capabilities) or unmanaged (without additional management features).


PoE (Power over Ethernet) — technology that allows electrical power to be transmitted along with data over standard Ethernet network cables. This allows devices such as IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points, and VoIP phones to be connected without the need for a separate power source. PoE simplifies installation and reduces the amount of wiring required for network devices to operate. PoE standards include IEEE 802.3af (up to 15.4 W per port), IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) (up to 30 W per port), and IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++ or 4PPoE) (up to 60 or 100 W per port).
