Current situation of the hottest video monitoring

Current situation of video surveillance system software

for users, free software is indeed a low-cost solution, but we should realize that not only hardware is a commodity, but also software is a real product. Software is the blood that computers can survive. All the data and information we need are obtained through software. Relatively speaking, the computer is only a tool, a tool for our work and entertainment, and software is the key thing. What we need to do is to change the idea of emphasizing hard work over soft work

current situation of the industry

there are two types of video surveillance software in the domestic video surveillance market. One is free video surveillance software, which is provided by the monitoring equipment manufacturer free of charge; The other is professional video surveillance software, which is provided by professional video surveillance software developers. In recent years, although the professional video surveillance software of various brands in the market has been very mature, it has not been popularized in the country. Most domestic video surveillance systems still use free video surveillance software, mainly for the following two reasons:

1. China's monitoring projects are too regional

the monitoring projects in each region are usually designed, constructed and maintained by local engineering companies, General engineering design is only aimed at local monitoring, and will not consider the expansion of access to superior regional monitoring in the future, so the types of monitoring equipment used in various regions are different, and because general regional monitoring projects are only small-scale monitoring projects, the scope of monitoring and the number of equipment are limited, Using the free local monitoring software provided by the monitoring equipment manufacturer can realize the basic daily monitoring needs

2. It is difficult to change the idea of monitoring engineering companies that stress hard work over soft work

this result is an ideological problem that the jaws should be symmetrically clamped on the sample as required, and there is a lack of sufficient understanding of the software. The hardware used in the monitoring project includes camera, video server, hard disk video recorder, PTZ, video matrix, alarm host, etc. These things are tangible, tangible and visible, and their value can be evaluated. However, software is more abstract. It is invisible and can't be seen or touched. Only when we use computers to monitor videos, playback videos, control PTZ, etc., can we feel its existence. In addition, hardware equipment manufacturers usually provide some software for free. Therefore, many monitoring engineers always believe that only hardware needs to pay the cost, and software is a free lunch

based on the above two points, it is not difficult to understand why monitoring engineers are not willing to spend money on more powerful professional video monitoring software

however, with the continuous change of market demand, the rapid development of network technology and the gradual improvement of people's safety awareness, there is an increasing demand for the application of large-scale monitoring systems in cities and across the country. At present, there is an upsurge in the application of full network monitoring systems in China, especially in large-scale municipal projects such as airports, urban comprehensive public security management platforms, etc, Therefore, vigorously promoting and applying professional monitoring software is the primary task of monitoring terminal manufacturers at present. Both remote and local large and medium-sized monitoring systems need a fully integrated solution. However, the traditional simulation method and free local monitoring software can not solve the problems of large and medium-sized monitoring systems, such as airport monitoring, bank monitoring, large communities, intelligent buildings, schools, and some remote applications such as border defense, base station monitoring and so on

Technical Analysis

the existing free video surveillance software in the market mainly has the following shortcomings:

1. The local stand-alone software architecture is adopted

the biggest disadvantage of stand-alone software is that it is difficult to deploy, manage and maintain. Because there is no server, all configuration information can only be saved locally. Every time a monitoring client is added, it needs to be reconfigured, When there are many monitoring clients, the workload is huge, and if the software needs to be upgraded, it must be reinstalled and configured on each monitoring client. In addition, there will be many problems in the management of monitoring clients. Because there is no management server, it is impossible to know exactly how many monitoring clients are running at present, and there is no way to solve the conflict when device resources occur, such as when multiple monitoring clients operate a PTZ at the same time

2. Only specific monitoring devices are supported

free video monitoring software is provided by hardware equipment manufacturers. According to the Convention, hardware equipment manufacturers naturally do not want customers to use only the free software provided by them without purchasing hardware equipment, so free video monitoring software can only support the monitoring devices of their own hardware equipment manufacturers. This makes the compatibility and expansibility of the monitoring engineering system very poor. Once the monitoring equipment from different manufacturers needs to be added or interconnected with other monitoring engineering systems, it is necessary to use multiple video monitoring software, and various software uses various equipment, which will make the use, management and maintenance of the system more difficult

3. Relatively weak functions

because it is free software, it can not bring direct economic benefits to equipment manufacturers. Few equipment manufacturers invest too much in free software. The latest expansion of the company's infinity container brand is less than 300 connectors, which are still a batch of large products. Therefore, free software generally can only realize basic functions such as real-time video playback, video playback, PTZ control, and poor technical support The update speed of the software is slow and the scalability is not strong

based on the above points, it can be concluded that free video monitoring software is only suitable for small monitoring systems with a single type of monitoring equipment, a small number of equipment, few monitoring clients and only basic monitoring functions

solution

in order to solve the problems of wide monitoring range, wide variety of equipment, large number of equipment, many monitoring terminals, difficult user management, expansion in the process of use and other requirements in large and medium-sized monitoring projects, we must use professional video monitoring software provided by professional video monitoring software developers

at present, there are not many mature professional video monitoring software systems in China. The tiger TV Tongluo video monitoring management system launched by Shenzhen Husheng Technology Co., Ltd. is the leader of similar products in China

Hushi Tongluo video monitoring and management system combines modern audio and video compression technology, network communication technology, computer control technology and streaming media transmission technology, adopts modular software design concept, and realizes the needs of different customers in the form of component modules; Provide a variety of component module combinations customized for different users to meet the needs of customers to the greatest extent. It provides a powerful and flexible integrated solution for network centralized monitoring

hushitong system adopts the latest Net, WebService, XML and other technologies, which use (c/s) client/server architecture and distributed components for design, have professional, personalized and humanized software functions. It directly affects the application of centralized monitoring system from the aspects of operability, customizability, compatibility, stability and so on

for users, free software is indeed a low-cost solution, but we should realize that not only hardware is a commodity, but also software is a real product. Software is the blood that computers can store happiness. All the data and information we need are obtained through software. Relatively speaking, the computer is only a tool, a tool for our work and entertainment, and software is the key thing. What we need to do is to change the idea of emphasizing hard work over soft work
