2 The rise of Security Cameras

3 Where are cameras? Source:

4 Some Market Headlines on Surveillance Video Surveillance Market to Reach $42B by IP/Network video surveillance market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 25% during Shipments of high-definition closed-circuit (HD CCTV) cameras are projected to have hit over 4 million units in 2014, climbing from just 1 million units in DC airport tries using face recognition to catch imposters

5 More cameras are coming ketresearch.com/pressreleas e/video-surveillance-vsaasmarket.htm

6 What is driving the increase? Increased terrorist activity Crime/violence prevention Internet of Things (IoT) Practical example: I can control my garage door remotely but I really like to see a live video shot knowing it is indeed closed Video motion detection can control lights, send alerts, etc. New applications Imagine you walk into a store, the store recognizes you and displays context sensitive sales information to you. Etc.

7 What is enabling the increase? Advances in facial recognition technology Paraphrasing a recent quote from a major university after a shooting event: In minutes after the shooting we identified where the shots occurred from the audio alert system (we have the cameras with audio also). From that video, we tagged the suspect into our facial recognition system and the system tracked all instances of video where the suspect appeared afterwards (so we knew where he went). We told police where he last appeared and he was apprehended in about 30 minutes, total. The server and software cost $6k. All this for only $6k. Advances in wireless and wireline networks 4G, internet, fiber networks, etc. all provide the backbone necessary for video surveillance to function.

8 Old technology Ok so we ve had security cameras for a long time what s the big deal now? For starters, the quality of previous generation security cameras is poor.

9 New technology The currently available 720P and up to 1080P is MUCH better both in terms of clarity, but also in view range. Note: 920H is the largest resolution in Analog. 720P and up seems universally to transition now to 100% IP cameras.

And very soon 4K resolution https://www.youtube.com/watch?

digitally zooming in that begin to eliminate the need for Pan-Tilt-Zoom, an

10 And very soon 4K resolution 4k (and let's not even talk 8k yet ) allows new capabilities like digitally zooming in that begin to eliminate the need for Pan-Tilt-Zoom, an unreliable and expensive mechanical feature. 4K literally quadruples the resolution/pixel count beyond 1080P (from 2MP to 8MP)

11 OK so what does it mean for us network folks? A single 4k video stream, with modern video compression algorithms (H.264, etc.), is noted by many sources to need a (very) stable BW of approximately 15 Mbps. A fun side note To achieve a stable 15 Mbps on residential service you need about a 50 Mbps max service (from same source as above plus lots of others) If I have several such cameras running at my home and recording to the cloud, plus 2 TV s streaming 4k, and maybe my DVR recording a couple shows in 4k I surely need >> 100 Mbps to my home!

Ideally you d prefer not to duplicate a lot of expensive network gear and maintain a large number of head-end locations so you d like

12 15Mbps is not so much That s true. But, for sure you need to put the cameras exactly where they are supposed to go, of course. Distances coupled with aggregated BW does become a consideration. Ideally you d prefer not to duplicate a lot of expensive network gear and maintain a large number of head-end locations so you d like to have a long distance solution. Say for a typical campus maybe that means a mile or so range. Big example - According to ABI (The Video Surveillance Report, 2010) the average Las Vegas Casino has > 2000 cameras.

13 Power I m still not scared of the BW issue you say 15 Mbps Bhhhaaaa. Big deal, copper can handle it. Maybe But now comes the next problem the one we network folks tend to think about last, but which is in reality often the tougher and quite expensive problem how do I power these cameras?

14 Power Over Ethernet IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) are great standards. In a recent interview with one of the top camera makers a statement was made that in 2016 it is possible that >95% of their HD cameras sold will ship with the option of PoE. So, a single CATx cable can power and communicate with these new cameras.

PoE Distance Limitations 100 meters is perfectly good for many indoor applications (although numerous customers express this a limitation indoors also).

15 PoE Distance Limitations 100 meters is perfectly good for many indoor applications (although numerous customers express this a limitation indoors also). But for realistic campus type applications this is a barrier. PoE Injectors exist that can double or more the distance but these still require tapping into power, somewhere else besides the head end. Example of a PoE powered camera (Source: Wikipedia)

These cables have till now been too big, too expensive, and take way

16 Hybrid Cables Hybrid optical fiber/copper cables have been on the market for years. The fundamental problems are: 1. These cables have till now been too big, too expensive, and take way too long to terminate. 2. What do you actually do with the cable to build a system with it?

17 Hybrid Optical Cable alone is not enough Hybrid or composite cable designs have been around a long time Ok, so why have they not been adopted in large quantities till now? Many customers do not have the electrical expertise to use them to build real world systems, so just having a great hybrid cable is not enough. You basically have had to be an electrical engineer and design every system How do you handle the problem of voltage drop over distance? What kind of electrical protection is needed? What about human safety factors? How do you convert from optical to electrical data stream? Can I install these cables in communications conduits, or must they be treated like power cables and ran in separate pathways (equals a lot of extra cost!)? The cable designs have been too expensive till now Copper is a huge cost element but that s not all. We need cables designed for Mass Deployment, not specialized deployments. Should be like FTTH drop cable. 17
