POS DVR Integration: Text Insertion

Text Insertion is a method of inserting or displaying text on the video display of the DVR. The text will be saved and time‐stamped together with the video. The text can be used to search for specific video clips. Lastly, the text can also be displayed during playback.


Overview

The following diagram illustrates how text may be inserted onto the video.




The DVR listens to incoming TCP/IP connections from other devices connected to the network. These devices may be a Point-Of-Sale terminal, an access control system or any application capable of sending data via TCP/IP.

Once the DVR receives data, the DVR authenticates the sender and validates the data. If valid, the text information is superimposed onto the video of the camera or cameras specified by the sender. Simultaneously, the text information is stored to disk with the video, and stored to a database for search purposes. Search may be performed on the DVR or remotely via a client software application.

The Network Video Servers

The Network Video Server is a high resolution network based video server which converts video signals from analog cameras into full frame rate IP-MPEG4 streams and transmit these video images to remote clients over an IP network, such as LAN, intranet or Internet.

Important Features:

Full D1 Streaming
Live video and audio streams are available at full frame rate, real-time full D1 resolution (NTSC: 720x480, PAL: 720x576) making the image clearer.


Triple Encoding Technology for Multi-Device Streaming
Supports simultaneous encoding of D1, CIF and QCIF to allow multi-platform viewing.



TV Out Support
Capable of displaying the videos directly to a regular TV Set in high quality resolution. With TV Out function and IR Control, you can easily do on-site installation setup, configure video quality and perform local monitoring even without network.


Bandwidth Usage Saver
With the new Live View Streaming feature, you can view all cameras real-time in MPEG4 format which is significantly smaller in size than the JPEG and MPEG streaming. Aside from individual streaming of channels, it offers MUX streaming which allows streaming of multiple cameras using constant bandwidth.

Important Applications:

Traffic monitoring, School Video Surveillance, Construction Site Monitoring, Production Lines and Factory Monitoring, Warehouse Management, Retail, etc.

The Remote Client Software

The Remote Client Software offers robust remote capabilities, allowing users to gather information from multiple dispersed systems and consolidate information on a single view for decision making. This powerful application allows live monitoring, search & playback of recorded videos and a number of setup capabilities of any DVR over IP network.

JPEG Stream Connection
-displays the video as motion-JPEG images. The bandwidth it uses to display one camera or 16 cameras is the same but display is at most 5 frames per second but it comes with certain limitations.

MPEG Stream Connection
-streams MPEG4 video to the Remote Client. The frames per second display follows what is set on the server just as long as the bandwidth can accommodate it. Once connected, the number of frames received, frames displayed and the size of data received per second are displayed for the
user.
