A low cost fleet management system with real time video surveillance using peer-to-peer connection

In most existing video surveillance architectures for fleet management, a vehicle sends entire video stream back to the central server. This wastes bandwidth and cost. In this paper, we present a fleet management system that provides real time video surveillance function. Only when a surveillance service is initiated, an immediate peer-to-peer connection is built through the interactive connectivity establishment to traverse network address translation. The proposed system is a web-based design which can be easily developed and allow an operator to efficiently manage the fleet via a browser from anywhere.
