How it Works
Network Camera IP-Based Technology
Iveda Solutions chose IP-based technologies as the soul of our security solution because it is open source. Our solution is not dependent on any specific camera manufacturer in order for us to monitor remotely and have a centralized camera management system.
Whenever possible, we use network cameras in our deployments because they are not typical Web cams or CCTV cameras. They are all mini computers with enabled Web servers. Each camera has the capability of becoming its own website on the Internet.
For years, CCTV cameras were the only game in town. Today, many companies still rely on CCTV for video surveillance. Therefore, although we are using IP-based technology, your investment in existing CCTV equipment can be converted into digital, using video servers or encoders. This conversion allows all the functionalities of an IP video surveillance system such as remote surveillance via the Internet and centralized camera management.

Security
Iveda Solutions’ network security standards are very high. The dynamic nature of network security means that security should be automated – so that the network itself can react to and repel threats. This process relies on proactive planning and implementation of network security products, automation of network management tools, and people dedicated to providing secure ingress and egress into network resources.
Our highly skilled team uses a mix of networking equipment (routers, firewalls, security appliances) to provide secure access to and from network resources for only authenticated users. Iveda Solutions strives to develop a self-defending network, because when a breach occurs, if human intervention is required, it could be too late.
Our mission is to deliver secure network access utilizing the latest technologies, and surrounding them with the people and processes necessary to provide a self-defending network.
Our Remote Surveillance Operations Center
Iveda Solutions’ 24-hour remote surveillance is the nerve center of our unique IP-enabled service. How does it work? Video data from a camera at a customer site is transmitted via the Internet to Iveda Solutions’ data center, where the data is hosted, processed, and stored. Video data is then instantaneously transmitted to our remote surveillance facility via a massive Internet pipe between the data center and our remote surveillance facility. This is where our highly trained intervention specialists are housed, and employ a sophisticated camera management system to assist them in efficiently and effectively monitoring the customer cameras assigned to them. During their shift, aside from monitoring, they take snapshots of events and store them in our proprietary reporting system. At the end of their shift, they generate a Daily Surveillance Report (DSR) consisting of time-stamped snapshots of events along with detailed descriptions, and email the DSR to each customer.
The DSR not only provides proof to our customers that their properties are being protected from any criminal activity while they’re asleep, but it keeps them abreast of the kinds of activities happening on their properties while they are away.
Our Remote Surveillance Center has these features:
- Operational 24/7, 365 days a year
- Rapid visual verification to every alert
- Full incident escalation to the police
- Automatic client notification of serious incidents
- Full audit trail including date and time stamped images of every incident.
- Images can be used for evidence in court
- Specially-trained intervention specialists
- Direct visual link can be sent via email to police
- Can receive alerts from other broadband connections
