Quickly Find and View Live and Recorded Surveillance Video Using Boundless' Map View with Live Video Thumbnails™ in Support of Department of Homeland Security DHS Easy-Access Initiative

Features

Boundless' Map View with Live Video Thumbnails™ solves the, "Where are cameras and how do I access their live and recorded video ?" problem. Boundless' ultra low bandwidth, digital video surveillance system with recording at the edge of the network provides freedom of access to authorized users, supporting DHS initiatives to make surveillance video readily accessible to large teams of law enforcement, public safety and homeland security personnel.

Boundless' ultra low bandwidth, digital video surveillance system enables authorized users to easily view its live and recorded video, and control PTZ cameras connected to Boundless' indoor, outdoor and mobile video servers. In addition to viewing in Boundless' Control Panel client software on a PC, viewing is also optionally supported in a web browser on a wide range of devices. PC's, MAC's and certain smartphones including iPhone (no app required), Android and some BlackBerry's can be used. It is not necessary to install any software on the viewing device when viewing in a browser, protecting the cyber security of the viewing device, avoiding the time and storage required for installation, and avoiding any per-device software license fees.

Boundless' Map View with Live Video Thumbnails™ option enables law enforcement, public safety and emergency response teams to quickly locate and view sites with Boundless' video servers using Google maps. Complex, rapidly changing events can be viewed from a geographical perspective. With this option running on Boundless' Transcode Broadcast Server™ media server, authorized users simply use a web browser (no special plugins required), Boundless' (or their own) web site and Google Maps to search for cameras connected to Boundless' video servers in a geographical area. A user simply logs into an account and selects a geographical area. Live video thumbnails from sites within the selected area of the map are shown immediately, at the geographical locations of those sites. The user can click on the name of a site to obtain many additional functions, including additional cameras, view live and recorded video, and control PTZ cameras. Multiple cameras can be viewed simultaneously from multiple sites to assess a situation from different directions. Usable on smartphones, large, multi-monitor displays are supported for city-scale use in command centers. Boundless' software interface also opens the door to Cloud-based, video analytics being performed using recorded video obtained from geographically specified areas.

CCTV cameras and optionally also IP-cameras, are supported by Boundless' video servers. Many types of IP-cameras are supported by Boundless' transcoding video servers. Boundless' optional Transcode Broadcast Server media server enables many users to view the same live or recorded video at the same time in a browser with only a single load on the uplink from the video server to a wide area network, avoiding overloading the uplink and without affecting the quality of video recorded within Boundless' video servers. Operation of Boundless' video servers behind firewalls is optionally supported without the need to open any ports through Internet gateway routers, and without the need to configure a multitude of tunnels. There are options for encrypted transmission and recording.

Minimum System Configuration

The minimum system configuration required to use Boundless' Map View with Live Video Thumbnails™ with Boundless' video servers behind firewalls is:

  • CCTV cameras connected to Boundless' ultra low bandwidth with internal recording, indoor, outdoor and/or mobile Multi-Stream Video Server with Tunneling and/or certain IP-cameras accessible by Transcoding Multi-Stream Video Server with Tunneling (Boundless' software to only handle IP-cameras can be installed on customer's servers)
  • Connection of Boundless' video server to the Internet or other wide area network to communicate with Boundless' Transcode Broadcast Server media server
  • Boundless' Transcode Broadcast Server with Tunneling and Mapping Options (available as a turn-key, custom pre-configured device, or can be installed and custom configured on a Cloud-based server provided by customer)
  • Connection of Boundless' Transcode Broadcast Server to the Internet
  • Device with web browser for viewing of live and recorded video, and PTZ control, and able to communicate with Boundless' Transcode Broadcast Server

Installations that do not currently have Boundless' equipment can benefit from the addition of a number of Boundless' video servers, in parallel with current equipment, and/or software licenses.
