Abstract

This paper proposes a model for Internet Protocol (IP) mesh video surveillance systems and presents the performance evaluation of Ah-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocols in wireless mesh video surveillance system. A wireless mesh video surveillance network consists of IP cameras linked to mesh routers which are then linked to the mesh gateways. Local monitoring can be done by inserting a switch or router between the gateways and the Internet while remote monitoring can be done through the Internet. Routing provides selection, constructing and management of routes in order to maximize throughput and minimize video packet losses, end-to-end delays and Jitter. Results show that the OSPF routing protocol outperformed the AODV in throughput, packet loss, end-to- end delay and Jitter terms with a throughput advantage of 35%.
