3 Introduction to Video Surveillance Traditional Video Surveillance: CCTV and 24/7 recording on tapes. Present CCTV and Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) Broadband boom Remote video surveillance over the Internet CCTV camera CCTV camera DVR Internet PC CCTV camera

4 IP-Based Video Surveillance Present and Future: End-to to-end IP: IP Cameras (AKA Network Cameras) are IP addressable Market Market [JPF 2005] Global Network Video Market $790 M by 2005 More than half of security cameras will be IP-Based by 2007 IP-Cameras Cameras have become cheaper Flexible (Local and remote surveillance) Scalable Broadband Integration Now equal or better features than analog cameras

5 IP Camera Features

6 IP Cameras and The OSGi Platform IP Camera IP Camera API Camera Driver IP Camera IP cameras more suitable for OSGs than analog solutions: No hardware modifications! No new networks in the house! Drivers IP Camera API and Drivers are available now!

7 Connected Home Market

8 What is Home Security? Traditional Security Systems for SOHO: Intrusion detection & fire alarms Simple and inexpensive technology: Panels, sensors wired to one central controller Silent alarm (phone line) Current Developments: Integration of access control Adaptation of new technologies (Web, Home Network) Business Entities: End-customers Installers Monitoring Companies / Central Station Operators Manufacturers

9 Home Security Market Mature Market! Worldwide security equipment market was $49B in 2003, expected to grow to $73 billion by 2008 [SSN, 02/2005]. Players and sales channels are well established Example deal in Northern California, USA: End-user Wants to install a security system for his 3 bedroom house Is referred to a local installer to buy his system. Installer buys equipment from manufacturers or distributors sells equipment and installation for approx $900 (3 bedroom house). sells (or re-sells) monitoring: $22 / month for at least one year.

10 Home Security: Business Opportunity Problem: Silent Alarms == False Alarms! Solution: Add visual verification (video surveillance) service. Problem: Adding video surveillance service. IP Cameras? Not integrated to security system. Too many products to install and configure. Extension module? Expensive hardware. Dedicated wiring. Solution: OSGi!

11 Access Control and Video Surveillance Access Control: Enable only authorized staff access to certain facilities / resources (physical / logical). Tracking and logging of staff. Technology: PIN, Magnetic Card, Proximity Card, Smart Card Current trends: Cheaper more attractive for SOHO Change of technology: Biometrics, Cell Phone Integration into security system (e.g. enable access to person AND A disable alarm) Access control market data (US): $1.6 B 2003 $3.4 B 2008 [SSN 10/2004] Business Opportunity : Visual Logging Take short video with timestamp of everyone that is Entering your home ( Have( my children come home? ) Entering your property ( Who( scratched my parked car? )

12 Personal Care and Video Surveillance Child Care: Products: Audio and audio/visual monitors COTS : $50 - $200 Issues: Emergency events can still be missed, as continuous monitoring decreases d attention. Opportunity: Use of audio / video / biometric technology to create alerts. Care for the elderly Products and Services Emergency pendant and dialer unit Central care operator $22 / month. Issues: Person might be incapable of even pressing the pendant. Opportunity: Video surveillance with image processing to detect emergency situations!

13 Connected Home Market Segments: Summary Video surveillance is on the rise in various connected home market segments IP-based video surveillance is growing at a faster rate than the CCTV-based video surveillance. IP-based video surveillance can be integrated into OSGi Apps today: Open Source API: camera-api.sourceforge.net/ Certified Drivers for Axis and Sony Cameras available from Gatewide LLC.

14 Connected Home Markets: OSGi OSGi is currently not a major player yet. Why should it become a major player? Video Can be done with Linux, no reason to switch to OSGi. Automatic Software Update Is being done, no reason to switch However

15 OSGi s Big Opportunity.. is Integration!!! Problem product hell : residential gateway, home entertainment system, home security system, access control, surveillance, etc. Solution: Integrate functionality of various products and service on one hardware platform accessed over one GUI! OSGi is the technology to deliver this!

16 Call for Action.. to make OSGi technology the de-facto facto-standard for integrated solutions! Act fast! Use OSGi to provide a service which has better service features and quality. approximately the same cost as existing service. Example: Integrated Home Security Service (IHSS) Components and Features Integrated Home Gateway (IHG): hardware, OSGi, application Alarm sensors (motion, glass break, fire) IP cameras For End-user: Remote surveillance and ease of use For installer: Easy installation / configuration of sensors / cameras. For Monitoring Company: Remote management / visual alarm verification HSG is OSGi based. IHSS can add functionality during deployment!

17 Call for Action (2) IHSS: Special technical issues for adding functionality: Development / Test / Verification. Integration into one GUI IHSS: Business Issues: Must include existing security installers, sales and distribution n channels need to partner with a big security manufacturer to produce the IHG! Who is the OSGI Operator? Monitoring Company: Pro: Only party to receive recurring revenue. Is interested in managing m the IHG. Contra: Does not have know-how to operate OSGs.. Would not know about non- security services. How can we get other companies from various segments to develop services for the IHG? Show the business potential. Solve the one GUI issue. Provide access to the technology (Evaluation Kit)
