Solving Customer Surveillance Challenges 24/7 – Optima Networks

14 Feb 2022

At the core of Optima Networks’ business is the supply and delivery of reliable equipment and the implementation of complete intelligent network configurations/installations for the most complex surveillance situations.
The comprehensive setup of a surveillance system may need to take into account confusing environments – for example, IP cameras must be installed correctly to capture best quality images, even during challenging environ-mental conditions, high traffic environments or continuously changing scenery. The quality of the images collected, smooth data processing and highly reliable storage solutions have a decisive influence on the overall success of smart technologies such as facial recognition and AI analytics.
As a result of the quantity of data, which comes in waves, the system faces a significant workload – hour by hour, day by day. The encoding techniques capture a full frame (the I-frame) at a single moment in time. This is followed by a series of P-frames that only start to be stored when they show action, showing a difference in image in relation to the previous I-frame. The storage solution to support this must work extremely reliably 24/7, storing the incoming pictures at high quality so that theft or damage can be – if not prevented – easily resolved.
