IP Video Migration

Introduction
Businesses of all sizes are recognizing the wealth of untapped data being collected by security cameras throughout the corporate footprint. Sophisticated video analysis and monitoring systems are now able to detect events and alert staff to potential threats without requiring security staff to sift through hours of video.While traditionally deployed for safety and security, video and video analytics are now being recognized as corporate digital assets that deliver business intelligence to marketing, operations and customer service departments.

Underlying video system technology has evolved dramatically over the past five years from proprietary, analog-based platforms to open, all-IP systems. As a result of this technology shift, IT departments are becoming increasingly involved in the implementation and management of video in collaboration with security departments. Corporations embracing the technology are recognizing video as key business support data that integrates with existing systems at network, organization and application levels to realize increased benefits and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). This paper discusses the benefits of an all-IP video system, illustrates its application through the example of a case study, and offers guidance for migrating from a traditional analog CCTV system.
