New advanced solutions for wireless data transfer for DVR-based video surveillance applications

    Amaro, Udine (Italy) October 14, 2005 Eurotech will shortly be releasing a new, rugged, compact and low power system for video surveillance applications that further enhances the advanced functionalities of a DVR (Digital Video Recorder). Such a solution is capable of acquisition and storage of high resolution video streams onto an integrated data storage module, and is capable of transmission of image data over long distance wireless connections such as (GPRS, CDMA2000, UMTS, WiFi 802.11.X, Bluetooth). The system continuously dynamically utilizes the available bandwidth ensuring maximum data throughput and minimum data loss.

    The Eurotech system fully utilizes the advanced capabilities of the JPEG2000 video compression algorithm on the aquired image. The compressed video data file can be transmitted partially or completely depending on the requirement. A small few kilobyte package contains all the information needed for the reconstruction of the original image; the picture quality depends on the size of the file. Therefore the transmitted data size can be dynamically adjusted depending on available bandwidth or required picture quality. Such a solution reduces the quantity of data transmitted over the wireless media, while minimizing loss of information and image corruption.

    However, the internal mass storage in the system stores all the video data streams in high resolution allowing for easy post-analysis from a remote operating centre.

    The Eurotech system features an internal intelligent control and monitoring system called the "Guardian™" that allows the user to monitor the operating parameters (such as temperature and internal voltages) and to manage the command execution logic even if the system is in standby mode.

    Due to their versatile architecture several Eurotech systems can be interconnected together (for example one for each carriage of a train or bus) to create a complete and advanced video surveillance network.

    Thus, several different public transportation vehicles can be equipped with Eurotech systems that can be accessed by a remote control centre in real time to improve coordination and planning of operations. This helps to guarantee passenger security and tranquillity at all times.

    Nanjing, China - February 24, 2005 - The Eurotech Group today announced the official opening of the Eurotech Nanjing University of Technology (NJUT) Research Center, as well as the sponsorship of a new university course on the design of embedded computing systems.

    Opening ceremonies for the Research Center were held on February 20 in Nanjing. Top dignitaries from both Eurotech and the University were in attendance to formalize the collaborative agreement between the two parties and to unveil a plaque dedicated to the Eurotech NJUT Research Center.

    At the ceremony, Eurotech also announced its sponsorship of a new course entitled "Professional Embedded System Design," aimed at helping students to increase their knowledge of embedded computing architecture and design. Two Eurotech project engineers will initiate the course instruction and introduce the fundamentals of embedded technology, making it possible for the students to start developing prototype designs.

    "The Eurotech Group is very pleased about this opportunity to sponsor the embedded design research center and course at the Nanjing University of Technology," said Tomi Hanninen, Managing Director of Eurotech Finland. "We look forward to more actively participating in Chinese development projects and introducing embedded technology into a market where economic and cultural growth is rising so rapidly."
