Abstract

This paper describes a multimedia surveillance system, the Media Controller. The Media Controller is designed for industrial surveillance and monitoring applications, and it provides the realtime recording and retrieval of digital video data. Considering the characteristics of industrial surveillance applications, the distributed recording of video data is shown to be necessary for surveillance systems. A method of managing video data in Media Controller is also described. It can effectively manage surveillance video data which is continuous (realtime), distributed, temporal, and partial. We have implemented a prototype, which confirmed the effectiveness of the Media Controller system.
