Introduction Sony, a leader in audio and video and delivery systems and Cisco, the leader in network infrastructure have collaborated in the development of an end-toend, optimized IP monitoring solution.The Sony IP Monitoring Solution built on Cisco Infrastructure is advantageous in a variety of markets including; education, transportation, medical, enterprise, retail and government. In phase one of development however, Sony and Cisco tailored their solution to the needs of the educational community. Specifically, they focused on the K– 12 segment due to urgent needs in school systems nationwide, and the relative ease with which together, Sony and Cisco could make significant strides in providing increased security within schools with a cost effective solution.

Protecting the Learning Environment As criminal threats and societal violence escalate, the need to protect our schools becomes more urgent than ever. Recently, a sad litany of school violence, child abuse, intrusion and burglary has joined the more familiar concerns of behavior problems, graffiti, vandalism and “duty of care” issues. These pressing concerns have made security a rising priority with school boards and administrations across the country.This new priority is clearly reflected in the growing allocations for security in school budgets. In this emerging environment, IP monitoring plays a key role. IP monitoring enables remote monitoring at multiple sites—a crucial advantage over conventional, Closed Circuit TV. And IP monitoring can help police make prompt and appropriate judgments to resolve emergencies with minimum loss to persons and property. Now Sony, the leader in AV/IT technology provides an IP monitoring solution backed by the company’s hardware and software expertise.And Cisco,the leader in networking equipment provides the network infrastructure for Sony’s IP Monitoring. Compared to other IP-based systems, the Sony solution is more manageable, reliable, affordable and scalable, making a real contribution to increased security.

To appreciate the enormous potential of IP monitoring, compare it with the analog world of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and the “analog to digital” approach of connecting analog cameras to Digital Video Recorders (DVRs).

Analog CCTV depends on single-purpose cameras, cables, recorders and monitors. For example, the cameras output a video signal over dedicated coaxial cables.The cables connect to dedicated analog video equipment, including multiplexers, videotape recorders (VTRs) and video monitors. Analog CCTV involves a host of limitations: • Limited monitoring. Provides local monitoring only, limited by analog video cable runs and line amplifiers. • Limited scalability. Systems are typically limited by the input capacity of the analog multiplexer. • Labor-intensive recording. To maintain an archive, users must eject, shelve and replace videocassettes that are easily lost, stolen or accidentally re-recorded. • Limited recorded picture quality.VHS recording can be a major limiting factor. And the picture quality degrades with every generation of copying.

The Analog-to-Digital approach does offer access to monitoring images over the IP network. But it depends on DVRs for both recording and IP access. Sony has made DVRs since 1998 and understands their advantages—as well as the significant limitations that they impose on the Analog-to-Digital approach. • Complex cabling. The Analog-to-Digital approach still requires an individual video cable from each camera, a complicated arrangement. • Limited scalability. DVRs limit your growth to a typical maximum of 16 camera inputs at a time. An external server with management software may be required to control multiple DVRs or sites. • Limited remote monitoring/control. You cannot access any camera from any client. You can only access cameras indirectly through the DVR. • Risk of hard disk crashes. The Analog-to-Digital approach exposes your monitoring recordings to loss, compared to the RAID redundancy and tape.

THE ANALOGTO-DIGITAL APPROACH REQUIRES SUBSTANTIAL SERVER STORAGE TO ACHIEVE SCALABILITY. AND IT DOESN’T OFFER DIRECT ACCESS FROM A CLIENT TO A CAMERA.

Compared to either of the two earlier approaches, full IP monitoring is dramatically different. The system takes advantage of cameras with built-in web servers and Ethernet ports. Instead of generating images as a continuous analog video signal, these cameras generate JPEG data files, which can be accessed, monitored, recorded and printed anywhere on the network by any authorized cl benefitsAll arecameras enormous. • ient.The Simplicity. connect to the network via simple, cost-effective Ethernet or wireless Ethernet.This can leverage the LAN infrastructure you may already have.A single CAT-5 cable can accommodate both camera output files, pan/tilt/zoom commands and in some cases DC power to the camera. • Powerful centralized control. One server with one software application can run the entire system. Easy upgrade and full scalability. Adding additional cameras is easy.The central server is fully open to future upgrades with faster processors, larger disk drives and more. Full remote monitoring. Any authorized client can have direct access to any camera. (In fact, Sony cameras can serve up to 50 simultaneous clients.) You can also access monitoring images through the central server. Robust, redundant storage. Your monitoring images are protected against hard disk drive crashes by RAID redundancy and the option of tape backup storage via SCSI connectivity.
