1 About IPCorder
IPCorder is a system designed for centralised management and monitoring of security devices (predominantly
video cameras and sensors) operating on the basis of IP protocol. It offers the following features:
• IPCorder offers unified web interface designed for managing all devices and the system itself, which saves
the user the need to deal with the differences in access to the various kinds of devices by hiding them.
•
IPCorder allows automatic detection and configuration of new devices, as well as their automatic
integration into the system.
•
IPCorder supports organization of multiple outputs from different sources (cameras, sensors) into groups
and their simultaneous viewing.
• IPCorder allows configuration of the system so that it behaves accordingly to reflect the time of the day,
or the day of the week. (It is thus possible to configure the system to, for example, record the video signal
from cameras in higher resolution than during the day, if it detects motion during night-time and send an
additional e-mail, if this occurs on a weekend.)
•
IPCorder coordinates the activity of the cameras and sensors and allows their interaction within the
system. It is able to carry out number of user-defined tasks (such as sending an e-mail when an alarm is
triggered, turning a camera when a door is opened, etc.) based on the event statistics, which the system
continuously records, and status changes that occur. There are two possible ways of configuring the
system responses to the events. A simple interface, which allows the user to define them in a few clicks,
or the script language incorporated in the interface, which, as the more experienced users will find, is a
rather powerful tool for setting up the system behaviour.
• IPCorder centralizes the data storage (videos, sensor readings) and offers an intuitive interface for looking
up and exporting the recordings, as well as the possibility to access the data through an FTP protocol.
•
IPCorder is accessible remotely (typically through the Internet). Apart from the manual configuration of
the translation of addresses by a router/modem, the system allows the management of an automatic
translation from internal addresses to external ones using the UPnP technology. This setting provides
the possibility of dynamic management of the system and higher security, since the cameras’ output is
accessible remotely only as long as the user is logged into the IPCorder’s web interface. The access to
the output from the cameras and sensors can, of course, be protected by passwords.
1.1 System Description
The very core of IPCorder system is a hardware device, with which the user communicates through the web
interface of his/her computer. Therefore there is no special software necessary; a regular web browser is all
that is needed.
The system is designed as a centralized digital security console. Its aim is thus to centralize the management
of digital security devices (cameras, sensors) and their output data.
The majority of devices can be detected and configured automatically (if the device supports this option). A list
of supported devices, is given by the installed version of firmware (which defines which drivers will be installed
