Universal Middleware Bridge System for IP cam networking

In this paper, a Universal Middleware Bridge System (UMBS) for IP cam networking is proposed. The UMBS provides the related mechanisms for system manual setting, automatic configuration, and management to improve the whole procedures of setting and installation. The UMBS is composed of four main functional modules, Live Video (LV), Playback Video (PV), Intelligent Scheduler (iScheduler), and System Configuration (SC). The structure of the robust UMBS supports the adaptability and flexibility for design and development of IP cam application system. The intelligent surveillance appliances system integrated with the robust UMBS can be realized efficiently in the future.
