This is the first resource to provide detailed coverage of advanced digital networking and intelligent video capabilities and optimization. It addresses general concepts, explains why IP-based systems provide better image quality and more scalable and flexible systems at a lower cost, and provides current information on cameras and DVRs. It also discusses frame rate control, indoor/outdoor installations, and specifications on MPEG-4 and other digital video formats. The book is accompanied by a CD containing tools for deploying and optimizing an installation. It is an essential resource for security system designers, consultants, and installers, as well as business and security managers.
