Design and Implementation of An Improved Digital Video Surveillance System

Abstract

Video surveillance systems also known as Close Circuit Television (CCTV) is the systematic investigation or monitoring of the actions or communications of one or more persons in a place. Video surveillance has been a key component in ensuring security at various institutions due to the increase in crime rate ranging from armed robbery, kidnapping and recently bomb blasts around the globe which has necessitated its installation in most establishments.This study therefore described the steps involved in designing an improved video surveillance system. The study discussed the theory of improved video surveillance types, components involved, selection of the best equipment and the details of its virtual design. The system was designed to monitor the footages of a particular surrounding with acamera resolution of 1680 by 1050 and the monitor displayed the desired output from a simulated implementation of the system with the router which served as an internet connection that transmitted the signal over the internet to any device with internet access.An improved video surveillance system has therefore become a foremost global strategic tool for fighting the war against terrorism, preventing crime, protecting cooperate assets and enhancing public safety which has made forensic investigations very easier for the police force.
