February 25, 2011 by Garrett Smith

Note: This is the 2nd installment of a four part series detailing the design and implementation of an IP paging (paging over VoIP) system. Click here for Part 1, Part 3, and Part 4.

To start off our second segment on IP Paging we will continue to talk about the two methods that IP Paging is delivered in:

Unicast
Multicast

In both of these paging environments, two types of paging can be performed. Below we will talk about the two types of paging and offer suggestions to products that “fit the bill” for each type of paging.

February 24, 2011 by Nathan Miloszewski

How Is Intelligent Video Used?

February 18, 2011 by Nathan Miloszewski

Earlier I talked about what intelligent video is and why it is used. This post tackles how intelligent video applications are used.

Keep in mind that intelligent video is an emerging market comprised of relatively new technology so, it’s not perfect and it may not quite be able to work the way you want it to yet. In short, it’s best to have realistic expectations.

However there are some well-developed and well-used intelligent video features that won’t require a whole lot of finagling or adjustments on your part and, they will significantly boost IP camera performance. Features such as:

Speed is important in IP video surveillance. Early and accurate detection are key to properly responding to events and these intelligent video applications help to make that possible and are a big reason why intelligent video is used.

Advantages of Cisco Wireless IP Phones

by Garrett Smith

Today’s empowered employees are more mobile than ever. This is a trend that is expected to continue as collaboration technologies enable experiences independent of workspace or modality. Today’s IP phone (at least many Cisco models) provides much more than tip and ring functionality which means, only plain old voice.

If you’ve visited a local Best Buy store recently, you may have observed a retail employee using a Cisco Unified IP Phone to perform timecard functions. Cisco phones are also used for inventory management or supply chain functions in manufacturing or other retail settings. In healthcare, a Cisco Unified IP Phone can provide doctors with alerts on patient status and specific medical instructions.

Lastly, there’s something to be said about voice quality and service availability. In a financial services environment where decisions are made in split seconds, can enterprises afford a best-efforts, non-guaranteed service approach to voice?

This brings me to introduce the line of Cisco Wireless IP Phones and the advantages they offer.

Snow Shovel Thief vs. Video Surveillance Installer

February 15, 2011 by Nathan Miloszewski

It’s been a rough winter for a lot of people around the country. Snow, ice, and challenging commutes can put everyone on edge.

If you want to relieve some of this weather induced stress by sharing in someone elses misery then consider, what happens when you steal a snow shovel from a video surveillance installer’s porch?

From the Wall Street Journal article As Weather Worsens, So Do Manners:

Last week, during a storm that dumped nearly two feet of the white stuff on Chicago, someone took David Welles’s snow shovel from his front porch. The security cameras Mr. Welles keeps trained on his house showed a woman grabbing the shovel and using it to dig out her sedan.

The woman, whom he didn’t know, eventually spent more than three hours clearing her vehicle.

She didn’t return the shovel.

So Mr. Welles, who owns a company that installs video-surveillance systems, served up revenge of a distinctly chilled variety. In a video he posted on YouTube, he spent half an hour with a gas-powered blower flinging snow onto her car.

Mr. Welles video, The Quadrilogy of My Favorite Snow Shovel, is on Youtube with over 700,000 views.
