Remote Surveillance System for Mobile Application

Abstract

Remote video surveillance is the use of cameras and other surveillance equipment to monitor properties and assets from a separate location. It is often used as a force multiplier or asset protection device for areas where it is not possible, practical, or affordable to install a cable network. It is commonly deployed in city and campus applications, or any place where it is difficult to monitor the surroundings using common means. Remote surveillance is a great opportunity to use wireless technologies for connectivity due to the flexibility they provide. A video surveillance system is only as reliable as the network it is connected to, so careful planning of the network technologies and equipment choices are crucial.
