The latest video compression standard, H.264 (also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC for Advanced Video
Coding), is expected to become the video standard of choice in the coming years.
H.264 is an open, licensed standard that supports the most efficient video compression techniques available
today. Without compromising image quality, an H.264 encoder can reduce the size of a digital video file by
more than 80% compared with the Motion JPEG format and as much as 50% more than with the MPEG-4
Part 2 standard. This means that much less network bandwidth and storage space are required for a video
file. Or seen another way, much higher video quality can be achieved for a given bit rate.
This document uses city centers as an example of a common city surveillance application using Axis network cameras.

CCTV systems use video cameras to transmit signals to a limited set of monitors for security purposes rather than broadcasting publicly. Modern CCTV cameras employ closed-circuit television technology. The first CCTV security system was installed in 1942 in Germany, while digital and wireless CCTV cameras were later developments. CCTV cameras can be indoor, outdoor, hidden, dome-shaped, or have pan-tilt-zoom functions. Systems are either wired using coaxial cables or wireless using radio transmitters. CCTV provides security benefits but also raises privacy concerns.
CCTV systems use video cameras to transmit signals to specific monitors rather than broadcasting publicly. They can use point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, or mesh wireless links. CCTV is commonly used for security purposes like crime prevention, monitoring premises and restricted areas, and deterring theft.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

3. 1. introduction
In both retail operations and the sales floor, the competition is fierce and the profit margins are slim. To
stay on top, retailers have to seize every advantage they can. This often means adopting the latest tech-
nological advances as they become available. That’s why today nearly every aspect of retail operations,
from inventory to hiring, is computerized and networked. Now is the time to add video surveillance to
the list.
IP (Internet Protocol) video surveillance gives retailers new tools and capabilities for improving loss pre-
vention and store performance. By enabling video to be captured as digital information and accessed
anywhere on an IP-based network, IP video surveillance allows your loss prevention staff and other de-
partments to view, analyze and manage surveillance video. Built-in intelligence also enables cameras to
automatically detect and alert staff to potential thefts, suspicious behavior, and other events.
The advantages hardly stop there. This same intelligence opens the door to new in-store research meth-
ods for determining the effectiveness of store layout, display design, and employee behavior. What’s
more, through advantages in using common networking and digital camera technology, stores can
achieve everything from a lower total cost of ownership to higher resolution imagery that improves fo-
rensic evidence and repurposing for training and other uses.
This white paper introduces managers and executives to the many retail business advantages of IP video
surveillance.
2. Where traditional (analog) video surveillance falls short
As both a deterrent and a source of evidence, video surveillance is recognized as an essential element to
any retail operation’s loss prevention program. According to market researcher J.P. Freeman Co., in the
U.S. alone there are 6 million video cameras mounted in stores watching customers and employees. A
large retail chain with 1,500 locations can record more than 50 years of analog video throughout its
stores in a single day.
How effectively used is this video? Not very. Inventory shrinkage continues to be an expensive problem
for the retail industry. In 2004, total losses were close to $31 billion, accounting for more than 1.5 per-
cent of total retail sales across North America (National Retail Security Survey, University of Florida).
This percentage changes little from year to year, yet as overall sales continue to grow, billions more dol-
lars are added to the total amount of losses. If a company could reduce its percentage of losses from
shrinkage by even a tenth of a percent across its stores, it would see a significant improvement to its
bottom line.
A major weakness in loss prevention techniques today is the inability of analog video equipment to de-
tect criminal behavior and alert personnel. Someone has to be constantly watching store monitors – or
later search through hours of video to find a particular instance of theft. Poor video quality also hurts
effectiveness. Analog surveillance cameras are only capable of video resolutions equivalent to 0.4 mega-
pixels, whereas the latest digital video surveillance cameras provide much higher resolution. Blurry, low
resolution analog images often fail to provide conclusive evidence in theft prosecutions or insurance
fraud cases, such as bogus injury claims. Such images aren’t sharp enough to read license plate numbers,
work poorly in training videos, and have no value for other uses, such as facial recognition systems.
3
4. Think back to those 50 years of video being recorded by 1,500 stores in an average day. What if:
> That video was sharper and could alert you to a theft?
> There was a way to tap the incredibly rich information in all this video for activities such as store
design research?
> You could use it as an operations management tool measuring how long it takes for an employee to
help a customer waiting at a customer service kiosk?
> You could do searches for organized crime behaviors and create training videos for employee showing
these behaviors?
> The video was so sharp you could see enough detail to read an employee badge number?
3. the answer is ip-Surveillance
IP-Surveillance brings all the advantages of network cameras and IP networking to video surveillance.
Using digital cameras, it gives you sharper color video, greater coverage, and better zooming capabilities.
Incorporating video surveillance into your local area network (LAN) makes the video collected at every
store available throughout your network. This means other departments can use store video capabilities
for training, consumer behavior research, testing store layout and display design, and many other uses.
What’s more, the cameras can be more “intelligent.” IP-Surveillance systems can actually “watch” for
certain kinds of behavior, events and actions. You no longer need people monitoring the monitors.
Here’s a look at five key advantages of IP-Surveillance:
4. improving loss prevention
The programmable intelligence capabilities of IP-Surveillance and network cameras enable detection of
suspicious behavior by customers or employees, reducing the need for dedicated loss prevention staff to
monitor shoppers. In fact, smart network cameras may be more effective than staff. After 20 minutes or
so, the average person’s attention wanes watching monitors. A smart camera is always attentive.
Intelligence at the camera level closes many gaps in loss prevention. IP-Surveillance systems can be set
up to:
> Detect suspicious behaviors, such as a consumer taking multiple units of an item not normally bought
in bulk, or a cashier deliberately not scanning a purchase.
> Capture organized crime behaviors in a store and enable you to quickly communicate them to other
stores in your chain.
> Integrate video surveillance with electronic article systems (EAS) to ensure proper procedures are
being followed, such as stopping customers who set off the alarm at the door.
> Directly connect video with point-of-sale (POS) systems to uncover employee sweethearting (giving
unauthorized discounts to friends) or other improper sales. For instance, video can be activated every
time an age-restricted sale is made or a refund given.
5. Delivering greater business value
Intelligent network cameras and the ability to store and access video on the network is driving many of
the smartest retailers in the industry to investigate new uses of video surveillance to improve their bot-
tom line. Some are working with the Loss Prevention Research Council in a program called StoreLab™ to
co-develop and test innovative store layouts, work processes, and technologies to maximize sales, prof-
it and productivity, while minimizing losses and crime. For one study, nearly a dozen stores of all differ-
ent types (mass merchant, drug, home improvement, club, department, and specialty) are giving re-
searchers access to their networks to test ways IP-Surveillance can be used to study consumer behavior,
employee tasking, and loss prevention.
4
5. IP-Surveillance is ideal for these applications because it can be set up to recognize certain actions and
events, plus makes it easy to search thousands of hours of video to find the few minutes of footage that
correspond to your search.
Some ways your company could use the video your store collects every day include:
> Monitoring the number of customers entering and leaving and the length of checkout lines to provide
alerts when more staff is needed.
> Providing alerts when shelves need restocking, spills have occurred, aisles are obstructed, or checkout
lines exceed guidelines.
> Monitoring employee/customer interactions to improve service, detect gaps in training and manage-
ment, spot and praise good behavior, and identify employees avoiding customer contact or shirking
other responsibilities.
> Studying and improving store design, traffic flow, and point of purchase displays to improve sales and
reduce shrinkage.
> Developing training tools to teach employees everything from how to spot common shoplifting
behaviors to ways to more effectively help customers.
6. reducing total cost of ownership through ip-Surveillance advantages
For most retailers, nearly all important processes and operations are connected through a local area
network (LAN). The exception is loss prevention. Legacy Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) systems are
proprietary and typically have separate support and maintenance contracts. This precludes loss preven-
tion from being able to leverage the lower infrastructural costs of the existing network and all the ad-
vantages of IP networking for video.
IP networking delivers cost savings in video surveillance in many ways.
> Your company already has the necessary IT expertise. Network cameras have IP addresses just like any
other network device and can be inexpensively installed anywhere in the network and controlled
centrally via software. This enables you to leverage existing infrastructure such as servers, switches
and cabling. Your video surveillance infrastructure simply becomes another part of the IT infrastruc-
ture, allowing you to take advantage of the cost savings of IP networking, as well as standard IT
policies (such as authentication, data security, etc.).
> IP-Surveillance systems use open standards and run on ordinary Ethernet networking. Using standard
PC server hardware for video recording and storage rather than proprietary equipment such as Digital
Video Recorders (DVRs) radically reduces management and equipment costs, particularly for larger
systems where storage and servers are a significant portion of the total solution cost.
> Availability of powerful software management tools for monitoring, accessing and storing video.
Software makes it easy to add additional powerful capabilities such as combining video evidence with
time-lined POS transaction data or integrating video with cash register transaction data for
advanced, flexible searching and analysis.
> Easy, future-proof installations with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. Installation can
be done in stages, integrating your analog CCTV system with your network video solution. As analog
cameras reach their end of life, you replace them with network cameras that simply plug into the
network.
> Greater archiving capabilities and storage reliability. Surveillance videos can be transferred through
the network to off-site storage just like any other data and stored on standard servers.
> Ability to scale capacity and performance. Products like Milestone Systems XProtect™ Corporate
provide support for multiple servers, sites and cameras, allowing your system to grow easily with your
organization.

6. 7. Saving staff time through centralized management and remote accessibility
Part of the problem with analog video is that it’s usually only available at the store. Each camera has a
cable that feeds its video into a monitor and, unless you have a network video recorder, a local recording
device. If someone in another store or headquarters wants to monitor what’s going on in a store or see
a particular incident, the video has to be recorded and mailed.
By having cameras connected to a network, you can achieve a higher level of surveillance with less
people. Loss prevention personnel can monitor many locations from one office. Live camera feeds can
be accessed over the Internet from any location, making it easy to check out an alert or event from any
computer, laptop or other device with a wired or wireless Internet connection.
8. Network camera advantages
While traditional analog cameras can only provide the equivalent of 0.4 megapixel resolution, network
(digital) cameras can deliver up to 16 times greater resolution, cover a larger area, and provide superior
digital zoom capabilities. This can translate into such rich detail as the numbers on a license plate or the
name on an employee badge. Their progressive scanning (versus analog interlaced scans) also produces
better detail within a moving image such as a person running away.
Network cameras are also less expensive to install. They don’t even require a power outlet. Using Power
over Ethernet (PoE) technology, you can power a camera with same cable used for connecting it to the
network. PoE also enables easier application of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to ensure 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week operation.
Switching to network cameras is actually common sense. If you were going out to buy a camera right
now for personal use, what would you get, analog or digital? You would buy digital. It offers the greatest
return on your investment and opens the door to all kinds of value-added features through connection
to the rest of today’s digital world.
Other digital camera advantages include:
> Intelligence at the camera level includes detection of motion, directional motion, abandoned objects,
object removal, human presence, camera tampering, identification, and digital pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ).
> Network cameras can be equipped with image buffers that save and send the images collected before
and after an alarm occurred.
> On a network, network cameras can be monitored, managed and updated just like any network
device.
