Featuring the new Analog Devices JPEG2000 CODEC, a Linux 2.4 operating system, TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. communications, SNMPv3 network management, and a wide range of input/output ports, including USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0 and SCSI-2, Second Sight is packed with information technology features that are designed to support the most sophisticated integrated CCTV applications. At the same time, Second Sight is a fully featured, embedded digital multiplexed DVR/network video server that has a familiar CCTV "look and feel" plus all of the usual CCTV features, such as hidden cameras, motion detection and front-panel telemetry control. Commenting on the announcement, BraddaHead CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , John Humphrey, said, "Digital CCTV for security is a really tough application. For evidential ev·i·den·tial adj. Law Of, providing, or constituting evidence: evidential material. ev purposes you need high quality, preferably full-frame, images, but system design is heavily constrained by the practicalities and cost of video data storage and network bandwidth. Because of this, every digital CCTV system and installation is a compromise between cost and quality - unfortunately, not always a good one. We believe JPEG2000 gives the industry a real opportunity to improve the cost versus quality equation. JPEG2000 is a new internationally recognised, royalty free, standard, that is designed to deliver exactly the high quality, full-frame images at the high compression ratios and low bit rates needed in digital CCTV. Because of its rich feature set, JPEG2000 is also much more capable of supporting advanced security and surveillance applications, such as biometrics and image recognition. With Second Sight, we have tried to take JPEG2000 plus Linux, TCP/IP and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. , and create a purpose built embedded package which is simple, practical and low-cost - yet still advances the cause of better image quality, faster update rates and higher levels of system integration."
