7 CCTV – OCTV Configuration Scenarios
As the growth and popularity of the Internet increases, more and more commercial
organizations and private users now wish to utilize IP-based products into their business system
solutions. In the surveillance and security industries, this desire is manifests itself through
increased demand to access previously closed-circuit surveillance systems from convenient –
but secure – remote locations. Consequently, the trend is to make closed systems open. It is an
industry phenomenon that is driving network video sales within the industry. It is real, already
underway – and something that many refer to as the CCTV to OCTV (closed to open systems)
paradigm shift.
The following narrative describe the background to this technological change the role AXIS IP-
Surveillance plays in helping organizations to gain leverage from it:
In the beginning... there was closed-circuit CCTV systems: These systems typically comprise
of a collection of analog cameras typically connected by coaxial cabling to a multiplexed switch
and video cassette recorder - for storing images. This technology has served the CCTV industry
for the best part of 25 years and manifests itself everywhere from gas stations, shopping malls
and high street stores.
