Design and development of a motion activated internet protocol video surveillance system for crowd monitoring

Internet Protocol (IP) cameras are powerful tools in security and crowd monitoring implementation owing to their efficient communication over a wide geographical area. However, for any authorized personnel to initiate recording based on an event, to report a security breach, or even to stop recording when an uninteresting scene is presented, such would have to sit at the reach of the control which is not always possible. In this proposal, we implement a motion activated internet protocol (MAIP) based video surveillance system using network video management for crowd monitoring. The system can activate itself to initiate video recording on detecting motion or event using its in-built features of the network cameras and Video Management Software (VMS). The system will result in an effective and efficient motion detection video surveillance with necessary features that allow for quick recording, conserved bandwidth, greater storage, space conservation, reduces CPU load on recording servers and also allows for integration with other systems.
