For many years, people have had to depend on analog based hardware systems for CCTV and video surveillance and traffic monitoring for transportation solutions. This approach had serious limitation and did not provide flexibility for design of security policies and efficient storage and analysis of video data. The condition of the industry today is such that most companies are moving to Internet Protocol (IP) based solutions with video presented in digital format. The security cameras are being migrated from the analogue based system to Network and Internet Protocol based cameras with Network Video Recording systems used for storage and archiving of the video systems. This Industry has shifted from low tech analog video an switcher system to super high tech Video over IP network with very advanced firmware development on the camera side and robust server side software for the recording and archiving systems
