Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) refers to the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place on a limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point to point (P2P), point to multi-point or mesh wireless links. Though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term CCTV is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that may need monitoring, such as banks, casinos, airports, military installations and convenience stores.

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) inspects all inbound and outbound network activity and identifies suspicious patterns that may indicate a network or system attack from someone attempting to break into or compromise a system. Some systems may attempt to stop an intrusion attempt, but this is neither required nor expected of a monitoring system.
Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) are primarily focused on identifying possible incidents, logging information about them and reporting attempts. In addition, organizations use IDPSs for other purposes, such as identifying problems with security policies, documenting existing threats and deterring individuals from violating security policies. IDPSs have become a necessary addition to the security infrastructure of nearly every organization.
Intrusion Detection Systems can also be system-specific, using custom tools such as passive and/or reactive systems, comparison with firewalls, statistical anomaly and signature-based IDSs.

Access Control
An IP Access Controller is an electronic security device designed to identify users as well as control entry to or exit from protected areas. A typical IP access controller supports two or four basic access control readers. It may have an internal web server and support configuration via a browser or via software installed on a host PC.
The main features that distinguish IP controllers from older generation serial controllers are (i) that IP controllers connect directly to LAN/WAN and have all the inputs and outputs necessary for controlling readers, monitoring door inputs and controlling locks; and (ii) that IP controllers have an on-board network interface and do no require the use of a terminal server.

Advantages of IP Access Controllers
An existing network infrastructure is fully utilized; there is no need to install new communication lines.
There are no limitations regarding the number of IP controllers in a system (the limit of 32 controllers per line is typical for systems using an RS-485 communication interface).
Special knowledge of installation, termination, grounding and troubleshooting of RS-485 communication lines is not required.
Communication with IP controllers may be done at the full network speed, which is important when transferring a lot of data (databases with thousands of users, possibly including biometric records).
In case of an alarm, IP controllers may initiate connection to the host PC. This ability is important in large systems as it allows reduced network traffic generated by frequent polling.
Simplifies installation of systems consisting of multiple locations separated by large distances; a basic Internet link is sufficient to establish connections to remote locations.
A wide selection of standard network equipment is available to provide connectivity in different situations (fibre, wireless, VPN, dual path, PoE).
No special hardware is required for building fail-over systems; in case the primary host PC fails, the secondary host PC may start polling IP controllers.
Video Surveillance
Professional video over IP systems use some existing standard video codec to reduce the program material to a bitstream (e.g., an MPEG transport stream), and then use an Internet Protocol (IP) network to carry that bitstream encapsulated in a stream of IP packets. This is typically accomplished using some variant of the RTP protocol.
Carrying professional video over IP networks has special challenges compared to most non-time-critical IP traffic. Many of these problems are similar to those encountered in voice over IP, but to a much higher level of engineering requirements. In particular, there are very strict quality of service requirements which must be fulfilled for use in professional broadcast environments.
