Video Live Journal: A smart way to monitor your home and office

Cheap and expensive CCTV recording solutions differ in features, reliability, and scalability. While cheap solutions offer basic functionalities like motion detection and limited storage options, expensive ones provide advanced features such as cloud storage, real-time analytics, and high-level security protocols. The choice between cheap and expensive solutions depends on the specific requirements and budget constraints of the user.
Our company has been continuously striving to develop a stable system for working with IP cameras and processing video streams. The challenge is to create a universal solution that isnt tied to a specific IP camera manufacturer. The long hiatus in updates for SmartVision was due to our realization that to address performance and stability issues, we had to overhaul the system entirely. This meant moving away from relying on third-party libraries such as FFmpeg and VLC. In the upcoming version, we will implement our own video stream re-streamer and a player for video viewing. Soon, a new version of SmartVision will be released, aiming to tackle the long-standing challenges in the video surveillance software market, providing users with a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly solution.

Video Live Journal

One of the key advantages of CCTV Software is the ability to create a live journal for each IP camera. This means that users can view live footage from each camera, as well as review recorded footage from the same interface. This makes it easy to keep track of multiple cameras, even if they are located in different parts of the building or property.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology allows cameras to be accessed without the need for port forwarding. Additionally, continuous cloud streaming can provide uninterrupted access. However, there are concerns:

Freeware IP camera software is designed to control and manage IP-based security cameras within a network. This software offers features like live video viewing, camera configuration, and video recording. Users can efficiently manage their IP camera systems using freeware IP camera software, such as iSpy, ContaCam, and ZoneMinder, which provide surveillance capabilities at no cost.
CCTV Recording
Traditional cloud services continually record and process video streams from surveillance cameras in the cloud. This approach has significant drawbackspotential loss of original data due to poor internet connectivity, bandwidth limitations from internet providers, false alerts, high costs per camera, and limited video data storage duration. However, the combination of SmartVision with Video Surveillance Cloud offers solutions to many of these challenges.
Firstly, users arent restricted from accessing the video archive for any of their cameras, as archives are stored locally on their computer. This ensures uninterrupted access even if theres an internet outage. Secondly, video analytics occur locally using SmartVision software, eliminating the need for additional payment for cloud-based processing. Thirdly, the system introduces substantial storage savings both on local drives and in the cloud by using artificial intelligence technologies to reduce frames per second when no motion is detected in the feed.
