Design and test of smart IP-camera within reconfigurable platform

Securing people, goods and information is becoming a fundamental issue on a global scale. Confronted to several problems such as the fight against terrorism, the reinforcement of the internal security and the rise of the cyber criminality, companies invest more and more to ensure an effective protection. Among the suggested solutions, video-surveillance constitutes one of the oldest and most spread security technologies. By integrating hundreds, sometimes even thousands of cameras, these systems generate an enormous quantity of data which exceeds the capacities of security agents for monitoring. To solve this problem, the smart video-surveillance allows -by analytical video- to treat and retain from the collected video only the relevant data for security. Following technological progress and the increase in the number of cameras installed on the same server, a new type of camera emerges and is out in the market. It is smart camera that we speak about, which besides the capture and the transmission of the video to the server; it can locally make video processing.
