P-webcam Introduction

1. P-webcam integrated CPU, network card and built-in LINUX Operating system makes it possible to interface with other network protocol and support various form of compression format.
   
   
2. User can use any browser within the boundary of the network and through the use of a web browser to do monitoring or browsing.
   
   
3. All P-webcam require is the power source and a network connection
   
   
4. Performance: Using standard JPEG and MPEG picture compression for up to 25 frames /sec, provide instance playback at web pages, can adjust compression and decompression ratio, support dynamic IP addressing
   
   
5. Support distance control platform and focusing
   
   
6. Support various protocols (TCP/IP, ARP, FTP, SMTP, DHCP, HTTP)

III. Information Storage System

All video recording from the monitoring point are transmitted through the network (telephone line, ADSL, DDN, Optical etc) to the central storage centre for storage management. All information transmitted will be indexed via a indexing server and will be stored at the CSAN information storage system for information storage for a long period of time.

Power-All Networks CSAN (Clustered Storage Area Network) is an attached storage system, it can be attached to one or to many computers or on to the network itself. It is a clustered based system and it act as if it is a single storage from the customer view. The CSAN system support Linux/Unix system, using PANSMS (Power-All Networks storage management server) it will also support Windows Operating System. Based on the technology by Power-All Networks mentioned above, the System provides an unbeatable advantage in performance, its ability to re-size, its practicality, its reliability and its value for money.

Reasons for using CSAN (Clustered Storage Area Networks) as a solution for storage are as follows:

1. When there is a requirement to add more than 128 points of nodes ,or there is an unexpected growth in storage requirement which are more than the traditional requirement can provide
   
   
2. When all 128 nodes are activated for monitoring, it might create some unexpected serge in bandwidth. Therefore, there is a need for a high level bandwidth storage system.
   
   
3. Most of the system will slow down as the volume of the storage increases. But this does not apply to CSAN: As the number of monitoring nodes increase, the volume and its performances also increase, this is because part or all 128 nodes of video and voice signals have been generated to handles this kind of variant.
   
   
4. CSAN is the only product in the market where size and performance can concurrently increases. For example if CSAN is increases to twice the size, its performances will also increases twice. If the size is increases 3 times, its speed wills also increase to 3 times the original speed. In other words the larger the CSAN sizes increases, the faster its speed. This kind of linear increases will be true for up to 1000 Nodes or more in CSAN.( more than 1 PB of storage)
   
   
5. Can be searched and operated on all images.

For costing reason, the storage is reduced to a minimum, a typical SAN storage is 100TB and it will cost around 9 million US Dollar (taken from Hitachi 's pricing Table data)

The alternative is to reduce the actual data stored by:

1. Reducing its rate, from 5 frame per second to 3, 2 or 1 frame per second
2. Reduce the actual time recorded (e.g. from 8 hours to 2 hours per day).

Conclusion

1. In order to store indexed video recording for and up to 30 days, 60 days or even 90 days, the CSAN to start with must not be less than 10 TB, 20 TB or 30 TB respectively.
   

2. Because of the possibility in increasing the number of cameras and monitoring node, the system has to be highly scalable.
   
   

3. System sizes and performance must be proportional and scalable.

• It has to be: the bigger the sizes, the faster its speed and greater in performance.
• At present, most of the SAN today can only increase in sizes; it can not increase in performances. Most of the time, the bigger the sizes, the slower the speed and less in performances increase.

For the performance of our distance surveillance monitoring network, please refer to the following tables:

Note:
1. The Calculation above is based on each camera is recording around 5 frames/Sec as Standard.
2. The actual usage can be adjusted according to the compression rate and therefore will be different from the above data.
