There is much more to supporting digital video surveillance over wireless networks than merely supporting TCP/IP communications. Boundless' comprehensive, ultra low bandwidth, advanced IP-based, digital video surveillance system optimizes many factors required for effective use of public wireless networks where speeds can be 1,000 times less, and latencies and packet losses can be 1,000 times more, than wired networks. Merely connecting a streaming-video IP camera or IP video encoder to a public wireless network rarely provides sufficient capability and may be blocked or prohibited by the wireless carrier.

Boundless' unique, ultra low bandwidth, multi-diverse stream, advanced IP-based (not conventional IP-based), video-on-demand (not streaming) architecture makes digital video surveillance using public wireless wide area networks practical. Wireless networks include cellular, CDMA2000, 1xRTT, EVDO, EV-DO, GPRS, GSM, Edge, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, and Globalstar™, Inmarsat™, Iridium™ and VSAT satellite wireless networks, and WiFi, Wi-Fi, 802.11b/g/a mesh, and WiMAX. ZigBee™ mesh networks can also be used.

Boundless reduces wireless network traffic more than 10-fold without sacrificing the quality of recorded video. Boundless keeps much more of the capacity of wireless wide area networks available for other data, and avoids the need for dedicated wireless networks for video. Boundless is not limited to stationary applications and has experience with mobile in-car cellular uplinks on several continents, where a speeding vehicle carrying outward-looking cameras creates large changes in images from one frame to the next.

Boundless provides IP-based PTZ support for both CCTV and IP-based PTZ cameras. Boundless' ultra low bandwidth is ideal for use of PTZ cameras over relatively slow speed, public wireless networks. Very low latency PTZ control and viewing via the Internet can be provided. A mix of IP-based PTZ cameras and CCTV PTZ cameras can be used providing the IP-PTZ cameras, such as the Sony SNC-RZ30N, have an analog video output.

Boundless' bandwidth-saving, video-on-demand products are network-neutral so long as TCP/IP connections are supported by the communications network. Boundless' ultra low bandwidth, multi-function, advanced IP-based, x86 Linux-based, Multi-Stream Video Server™ digitizes video from four CCTV cameras and contains a software bank of up to 36 (9 per camera) IP-video encoders, and an internal Network Video Recorder. Its ethernet port connects to a wired ethernet LAN, wireless ethernet client or modem. Uplink bandwidth for live video can be as low as 4,800 bps but at least 32 Kbps is recommended.

Boundless supports mobile-originated, non-routable connections that are common in many public wireless networks, including cellular and WiFi mesh networks. Boundless' Multi-Stream Video Server™, when used with Boundless' Broadcast Server, can tunnel out of mobile-originated networks, through routers and firewalls, that don't otherwise allow incoming IP connections to servers inside the network. Boundless also provides cross-network connectivity, enabling a vehicle to use cellular communications in the countryside and WiFi hotspots in the city or depot, when a multi-network wireless router is used in the vehicle.

Boundless supports dynamic IP addresses using its own Name Server that customers can purchase to provide additional confidentiality and further reduce the risk of Cyber Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. Such Cyber attacks can be particularly effective when low speed wireless communications are used.

The search engine integrated into Boundless' Multi-Stream Video Server™ speeds motion searches over wireless networks, remotely searching hours of recorded video in seconds. 2-D searches of recorded video from a single camera, and optionally, 3-D searches of video from co-ordinated cameras, can be performed. Boundless' Control Panel cleint live and recorded viewing, and searching software, can detect and signal Boundless' instant-messaging-like Live Alerts, avoiding e-mail delays and reducing tedious remote monitoring.

Custom software development under contract can be provided to satisfy special requirements.
