CYTEXONE Surveillance Features
Discover a world of endless possibilities!
Flexible and powerful, cost-effect and remotely accessible, the CYTEXONE Surveillance solution will help you keep a look out. Take a moment to consider the possibilities and keep in mind—your system can be as simple or sophisticated as you want it to be.
The IP network advantage
IP networks are flexible, powerful and advantageous, and they are the key to providing you with wide ranging possibilities in system design, applications and solutions. CYTEXONE Surveillance systems connect directly to your computer network by wired or wireless means, giving you access to live video streams directly from your desktop with the use of a standard Web browser on a local area network or from any location in the world via the Internet.
Image quality
 Image quality is one of CYTEXONE’S main deliverables. With a comprehensive collection of research on image processing chips and sophisticated algorithms tailored for network camera applications, CYTEXONE also provides a range of video compression standards (Motion JPEG, MPEG-4, MPEG-2) for users to choose from. In many network video products, both Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 are supported simultaneously. This enables you, for example, to view at full frame rate with MPEG-4 and record at the same time with Motion JPEG, allowing for optimization in image quality and bandwidth.
 Wide ranging network video products
You can find fixed network cameras for both indoor and outdoor applications, including infrared-sensitive network cameras, as well as pan/tilt/zoom and network dome cameras that enable remote control of pan, tilt and zoom functions over IP networks.
Audio
 Besides visually being able to see remotely from any networked computer, anywhere and at any time, two-way audio communication over networks is also possible. This allows you to not only hear what's going on remotely, but also speak through the network. With both visual and audio communication, you can question intruders, conduct remote education, troubleshoot, or broadcast both sights and sounds of a location or event on Web sites.
Event management
Once an alarm is set, either as scheduled, or via input/outputs, video motion or audio detection, you can automatically request that certain actions be performed; for instance, start sending and recording images to specified destinations, send alerts to specific individuals via e-mail or SMS to a mobile telephone, activate lights, turn alarm on or off, open or lock doors, control temperature levels, etc.
Triggering mechanisms
A wide range of triggering mechanisms (whether built into the product or available in a software package) can be incorporated into a CYTEXONE system.
 Schedule
You may schedule a time for the network video product to perform certain actions; e.g. start sending and recording images every evening, on weekends or on holidays.
Inputs/Outputs (I/O)
Input/output ports can be connected to doorbells, detectors (e.g. smoke, movement, sound, temperature sensors), lights, switches and alarm relays. When input mechanisms are triggered, you can automatically request that certain actions be performed.
Video motion detection
This feature essentially allows you to define areas of a screen where you want to detect any visual changes. When a change is detected, you may request a number of things to be done automatically.
Audio detection
Set the level of noise that will trigger the performance of certain actions.
 Recording
CYTEXONE can set up the network video system to save the video data to a file server at a local or distant location for security reasons and at certain time intervals, or when motion is detected, for later viewing and analysis. Images can be uploaded via e-mail, FTP or HTTP.
Power over Ethernet
With a CYTEXONE network video solution, you have the option of using the same Ethernet cable both for data communications as well as power. This makes it much easier to install products; no electrician is required and if there is a power failure, the network video product is able to operate.
 Security
Different levels of password-protected access to a camera are one way to improve safety. For example, using predefined passwords, certain people may only have the rights to view live images with no access to the product's configuration, while the administrator would have full access to configure the product's settings and security features. Another security feature is IP address filtering, which allows only predefined IP addresses to access the product..
