The world of video surveillance is moving toward the IP network. An IP Network Camera can be defined as a camera with networking and video processing combined into one unit. A network camera has its own IP address and the computing functions necessary to handle network communication. It captures and transmits live images over the network, enabling remote viewing and user control from anywhere, anytime.

TI's DSPs are used to compress the image in a variety of standard and nonstandard video formats. Additionally, TI DSPs offer the ability to use intelligent image analysis functions and various types of networking protocol support.

Digital video transmission is fast becoming the standard requirement for security and surveillance systems. Both wired and wireless links are of interest for security and surveillance architects.

Texas Instruments has a long history of providing expertise and superior products to the video market. TI's comprehensive solutions cover the entire video chain - everything from the initial capture of video content to the final viewing experience.
