Open source centralized management for video surveillance data

The need for security has become an increasing necessity for all the Public Administrations and it could be fulfilled through the exploitation of video surveillance systems. Nevertheless the realization and the maintenance of video surveillance solutions could result very expensive and complex, usually discouraging especially the smallest Administrations from the installations of video surveillance systems. The goal of this paper is double: identify a proper service model and architecture, that would lead up to a service as much sustainable and efficient as possible; identify a proper technology for the implementation of a video management center.
