Remote Video Monitoring Over the WWW

Remote video monitoring has become increasingly important for monitoring the security of destined locations. Traditional security monitoring systems using coaxial cables and VCR recording systems are expensive and ineffective. With the rapid growth of the Internet, it is now possible to use it as an intermediate transmission medium to support real-time video transmission. This paper proposes a web-based remote monitoring system known as iSecure. Apart from the essential live or stored video transmission, intelligent monitoring and web-based monitoring are also supported. As the transmission of live video data through the packet switched network environment of the Internet can result in packet loss and quality degradation, the iSecure system has implemented an adaptive transmission and recovery mechanism to enhance the quality of real-time video transmission. Intelligent monitoring for elevator security and face-based door access control applications has been incorporated. The iSecure system can be used as a framework for developing other intelligent remote monitoring applications.
