Our Technology

Essential Viewing provides the components to enable the delivery of real-time global surveillance solutions. Designed to transport live video, audio and meta-data, including geo-spatial positioning, TVI offers the means to securely monitor any location from any location in real-time.

TVI has been optimised for the delivery of low latency media over wireless networks including GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, CDMA and HSDPA, as well as satellite and tactical radio bearers. Offering fixed high frame rate video, multiple users distributed globally can observe a live event and in real-time pan, tilt and zoom the camera to alter the field of view.

TVI supports archiving at both the camera and at the viewing client location giving flexibility with the assurance that key events will not be missed even if the communications link is temporarily lost. Embedding GPS location and time into the media stream allows dynamic mapping of cameras by location and searching of archived material by geo-spatial location as well as date and time.

For scenarios where bandwidth is especially limited TVI provides a facility to retrieve high resolution still images based on the received live video whereby the live video provides the means to select those frames that allow the identification of a subject. These high resolution images can in turn be archived as images with date and time stamps to support the generation of evidence.

TVI extends existing CCTV systems by enabling media distribution to multiple clients, including delivery to PDA for mobile users. With secure access control it provides for a scalable mobile surveillance solution whereby multiple mobile clients can monitor multiple mobile cameras.
