A special peripheral component interconnect express card for video surveillance systems in alarm applications

Abstract

Many companies use the Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) application for security applications. However, this system is usually designed as an external independent device and the security person is forced to use it locally with limited control. The aim of this paper is to design the extended Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI-E) card for the VSS application for extensive companies. The card has several independent Ethernet terminals where IP cameras using Power over Ethernet (PoE) can be connected. This solution is much more cost-effective and easy to use solution than traditional Digital Video Recorder (DVR). Designed solutions guarantee flawless and reliable video signal transmission for security applications.
