Example Application - Video Surveillance System

Video surveillance is an ever growing market and efficient ways need to be found to capture and store only what is absolutely necessary. A digital video surveillance system can easily be constructed from Advanced Micro Peripherals off the shelf range of PC/104 form factor components.

COMPONENTS
Tiny886ULPThe Tiny886ULP PC/104+ computer controls the system either via remote access using Ethernet or serial links or allows local control via standard PS/2 and USB peripherals. The integrated VGA of the Tiny886ULP allows for preview of the surveillance in real-time.
VSP2000The VSP2000 from AMP is a video surveillance processor with hardware motion detection functionality. This allows the VSP2000 to automatically switch to which of its inputs is currently detecting motion and output this to the MPEG4000 for encoding.
MPEG4000The MPEG4000 provides a convenient way of producing high quality but compressed store of the surveillance footage. The MPEG4000 quality settings and framerate can be optimised for the particular subject matter completely under software control allowing a balance to be made between surveillance levels and data storage available.
FireSpeed2000The FireSpeed2000 provides an ideal way of attaching removable storage to the system for the express purpose of video archiving. Drives can be rotated automatically and the hot-plug ability of the FireSpeed2000 allows drives to be swapped without having to power cycle the system.
