In Rome, the Vatican City has a population of 850 – which increases five-fold in the working week. An analogue CCTV system was in place, but only allowed one operator to view specific camera images. Installing the Destiny IP encoders and decoders from manufacturer Baxall has provided a solution, enabling local and remote monitoring simultaneously via the City?s existing network. Each encoder is linked to a multiplexer so that any camera on the system can be viewed and controlled, either as a single full screen or as a quad display. Each decoder supports four viewing ?stations?. These stations can be any PC using Windows 98, Me, 2000 and NT Microsoft software. Encoders and decoders have been designed around Internet Protocol which enables ?data? to be addressed, transmitted and controlled over IP networks. These protocols can be used over any physical network (such as ethernet, PSTN, ISDN) that is IP-compatible. The product allows camera images to be connected to IP networks to send full-motion, real-time, video, plus audio and data.
