Lesson 2: Components of Network Video
How many ports are typically installed on a video encoder for analog camera plugs?
1, 4, or 16
For storage purposes, approximately how many cameras can be installed on a network video system using a regular server?
50
Analog cameras will likely be replaced in the next few years. Therefore, the need for encoders will be short lived.
False
With network video, the network infrastructure platform consists of substantially proprietary equipment.
False
Which are common features of most video management software?
I. Audio support II. Camera management III. Configuration of I/O's V. Multiple search functions for recorded events
Other than providing high-quality video, what other useful purposes can be provided with a network video system?
I. Broadcasting video II. Business intelligence III. Patient monitoring in healthcare IV. Remote monitoring of equipment, people, and places
What is another name for a network camera?
IP camera
Which is not a typical component of a network video system?
Multiplexer
Which is a published standard for interfacing to IP cameras and encoders?
ONVIF
A network camera is fully bidirectional, allowing information to be sent to the camera and received from the camera over the IP network.
True
? is at the center of video management, monitoring, analysis, and recording.
