It is a hybrid cloud solution that employs the software's real-time intelligent video analytics on the camera stream source side. The solution comprises a cloud server and a local application that can be installed on a phone, personal computer, or cloud camera. This technology helps significantly decrease the load on channels and cloud disk space. Wi-Fi operates on shared frequency bands, which means multiple devices, including other cameras, smartphones, and household gadgets, compete for the same spectrum. This interference can degrade the Wi-Fi signal strength and, consequently, the quality of the video being transmitted.

SVC enables the encoding of a high-quality video bitstream that contains one or more subset bitstreams that can themselves be decoded with a complexity and reconstruction quality similar to that achieved using the existing H.264/MPEG-4 AVC design with the same quantity of data as in the subset bitstream. The subset bitstream is derived by dropping packets from the larger bitstream. A subset bitstream can represent a lower resolution, or a lower frame rate / quality video signal (each separately or in combination) compared to the bitstream it is derived from. SVC enables forward compatibility for older hardware: the same bitstream can be consumed by basic hardware which can only decode a low-resolution subset, while more advanced hardware will be able decode high quality video stream (1080p).

In the evolving landscape of surveillance systems, understanding the differences between AHD and IP systems, and being aware of potential security vulnerabilities is essential. Solutions like Web Camera Pro and Video Surveillance Cloud offer a balanced approach, ensuring effective surveillance while addressing concerns related to cloud-based systems. As with any technology, vigilance and staying updated with the latest security practices are the keys to a safe and reliable surveillance setup.

Motion Detection, another mobile app, exemplifies this approach. It allows for object detection and video surveillance with automatic video saving capabilities. When motion is detected, the app saves the video either to the phone or a cloud server, depending on the users preference. Users can adjust sensitivity settings, opting for either basic detection or more advanced neural network-based detection. This advanced option can recognize specific objects like people, animals, and vehicles. Every time an object is detected, the app logs the event, and users have the option to upload both the event information and video file to a cloud server.

One of the primary challenges is the strain on bandwidth. High-resolution cameras, especially those operating at 1080p or higher, transmit massive amounts of data. When multiple cameras stream simultaneously over a Wi-Fi network, it can saturate the available bandwidth, leading to reduced video quality, latency, or even dropped connections.
