Remote access is not just limited to IP cameras however. IP video encoders (video servers), Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and IP network video surveillance software also all have the potential to be accessed remotely using the Internet. Such capabilities allow for the potential of increased security by having the ability to not only monitor while onsite at the camera’s location but by also adding the ability to monitor the location remotely.

Mobile Surveillance

With today’s growing need for applications on the go it was only a matter of time before IP video surveillance joined the fray and allowed for mobile surveillance to occur. IP network cameras and video encoders are now starting to include 3GPP mobile surveillance support which will allow them to be accessed directly from a 3G or Smart Phone cell phone. Even sophisticated IP network video surveillance software allows for a stripped down version to be operated on today’s cell phones granting you with the ability to control multiple cameras at multiple locations no matter where you are currently located. Imagine being on the 2nd floor of a 40 floor hotel and being able to instantly see video from cameras located on the 35th floor while you continue to patrol the 2nd floor hallway. Or imagine being located in the middle of a large city yet still having access to hundreds of cameras located throughout the entire city without needing to visit each location or even a centralized monitoring location. As with all technological devices, proper configuration is required. This article is designed to help you to understand the basics of mobile surveillance and to help point you in the right direction for what you need to be able to achieve mobile surveillance.
