Ad-hoc connections of miscellaneous sensors in a CCTV system
K. Kraus, Radwa Reda · 2008
In this paper the need of sensors other than analog and digital cameras in a CCTV environment are discussed as well as the advantages these security relevant sensors can offer. After evaluating various use cases the currently available technologies in this area will be analyzed including Bluetooth, Zigbee and Wireless USB. The main focus will be placed on the security aspects, the behavior in case of failure and power management. On the basis of the evaluation a network topology will be proposed which is resilient to failure and reorganizing with the installation of new sensors.
