Digital Security Surveillance Overview

YOUR DSS PLAYBOOK

Digital Security & Surveillance – An Overview Demand for digital security and surveillance (DSS) solutions is growing at a CAGR of 12-15% 1, fueled in large part by security concerns and government spending. These solutions differ from traditional surveillance systems in that digital technology now enables more complex applications and usage models. Whereas previous surveillance solutions fed video to a bank of screens, digital systems enable multi-channel streaming, real-time software-based analytics, event-triggered alerting, temporary site surveillance, and much more. Consider some of the many ways DSS solutions are being applied in our global society today:

•T  raditional building surveillance: Providing security for public and private facilities continues to expand and now includes setting up site surveillance temporarily.



• Mobile surveillance: Watching over the actions in and around vehicles and transportation systems, including police vehicles, emergency response equipment, cars, buses, planes and trains.



• Intelligent traffic control: Proactively and reactively responding to trafficrelated events, devices such as highway onramp meters, toll collection systems, red-light traffic cameras and other “intelligent” traffic control devices are part of a growing usage model for DSS systems.



• Business intelligence: DSS systems can now intelligently gather and analyze business operational data as well anonymous information about customer traffic patterns, demographics, and sales conversion rates.

DSS Solution Design Considerations

YOUR DSS PLAYBOOK

DSS Solution Design Considerations While it is a relatively straightforward process to develop a DSS platform, your choice of ingredients can have a profound effect on the overall performance and capability of the solution. Everything matters, including processing performance and speed, power consumption, network throughput, storage availability and platform reliability. It can all affect how well the solution supports selected DSS applications.

CPU and GPU Processing Capabilities and Workload For DSS systems, the workloads handled by the CPU and GPU are massive. They must handle video color conversion, video encoding, video decoding, video scaling and display, storing video onto the hard disk, video packetization for streaming, as well as running the software video management GUI as the interface for live video viewing, access control and data storage management. Therefore, when choosing your processing platform for your DVR and/or NVR, you must be sure that it has the capability of supporting the workloads of a DSS system.

Analog to Digital Conversion With a number of analog-based CCTV solutions currently deployed, it’s important to continue delivering solutions that enable conversion of raw analog video to digital signals for handling by the processor. One option is to use an analog-to-digital video capture card that sends the raw digital signals to the CPU for video encoding. A more robust DSP version of the video capture card takes care of the video encoding on the card, thereby freeing the CPU for other important tasks.

A third option is to use 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors that have this capability built into the integrated graphics processor – a solution that delivers similar performance in video encode/decode as the hardware-based video capture card without the added cost.

Network I/O Configuration and Throughput An NVR will likely require more LAN ports with more robust throughput capabilities than a DVR because of the incoming IP packets that carry encoded video information from the connected IP cameras. The more cameras that are connected, the more ports required. In any solution, a good network throughput rate is desired, and depends on the number of concurrent IP camera video streams being serviced by the device. You should also have at least 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports on any DVR and NVR platform. One of those ports will handle downstream traffic, or all incoming IP video packets. The other port must be dedicated to upstream traffic, or video frames, clips or metadata information being sent to backend servers or a storage array. Separating these two data streams helps balance the system and network load as well as offering redundancy in the event that one port fails.

11

YOUR DSS PLAYBOOK

DSS Solution Design Considerations cont’d Storage Considerations Storage can be one of the biggest challenges when developing both DVR and NVR platforms. While capacity is important, so is the number of disks available to enable load balancing when writing multiple large encoded video files concurrently to the storage system. Entry level products should ideally have at least two hard disks, medium range products at least four disks, and higher end systems should consider offering at least eight hard disks. Very large DSS solutions would have an external storage array system such as a network attached storage (NAS) array which uses file-based transfer, or a storage area network (SAN) which uses block-based transfer. It’s also important to consider data protection in your storage plans. Using a redundant array of independent disks (RAID), you can provide redundant storage of all video files, ensuring that most of this data is recoverable in the event that one or more disks fails.

At all RAID levels, Intel® RAID Controllers lower total cost of ownership and provide your system with simple, high performance data protection.

Intel Platform Development Tools Intel® Parallel Studio XE Tool Suite

Intel® Media Software Development Kit

DSS workloads are known for concurrent flow of many video data streams. This predictive workload requires platforms that support parallel processing. DSS applications can be optimized for performance and response time using appropriate coding and resource allocation tuned specifically for parallel processing. The multi-core architecture and parallel processing capabilities of the Intel® Core™ processor is ideal for such applications. And the Intel® Parallel Studio XE tool suite can ease application development and help deliver the desired performance.

The primary workloads for DVR, NVR and Hybrid DVR product types are to perform media encode, decode and pre-processing. The entire platform performs better if these media codec workloads are offloaded away from the CPU to a media hardware acceleration platform. The 2nd Generation Intel Core processor family has optimized this workload by providing built-in acceleration for specific media codecs. The Intel Media Software Development Kit (Intel® Media SDK) helps developers access these hardware accelerators. Intel® Media SDK 2.0 supports video encoders for H.264 and MPEG-2, video decoders for H.264, MPEG-2 and VC-1, and pre-processing filters on Microsoft Windows* Vista (32 and 64-bit) and Microsoft Windows* 7 (32 and 64-bit).

Comprised of Intel® Parallel Advisor, Intel® Parallel Composer, Intel® Parallel Inspector, and Intel® Parallel Amplifier, this tool suite enables software developers to design, build and debug, verify, and tune legacy serial code to take advantage of multi-core parallel processing. This toolkit offers multiple ways to exploit threading in compilers and libraries, giving developers the flexibility to choose how to implement robust parallelism. By analyzing legacy serial applications to determine hotspots, these tools can help developers see which functions take the most time and identify compute-intensive loops within hotspots. Intel Parallel Studio XE also enables developers to optimize the parallel processing allocation by workload, and verify threading and parallelism correctness to avoid data races. Developers can measure the speed gain provided through parallelization to further quantify the efficiency and performance gain.

DSS workloads need platforms that support parallel processing.
