IP Video: IP Cameras

Module Length: 1 Credit Hour
Approved for CEUs by: Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, New Jersey

In the previous module, we looked at how IP Video Surveillance Systems are connected to a network, including some of the basic network configurations that are commonly used. In this module, we will be looking at how IP VSS signals are managed and transmitted over those networks.

We will explain the basics of how video signals are managed and optimized for transmission over an IP-based network and discuss the relationship between frame size and resolution and how these factors affect the quality of a video signal. After completing this module, you will understand how bandwidth affects the transmission of video signals and outline the advantages and challenges of both wired and wireless transmission methods.
