Introduction
Future Generation Network is a type of networking which leads to next generations. Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Technologies is one of the new idea in which a lot of development is going on, so considering this as hot topic write a research paper on it. In this research I would like to cover its all changing phases to the present, by discussing its fast growing use in modern age. CCTV technology is changing very fast with the change of time as a lot of changes were seen when CCTV signal was merged with network technologies and later it is become possible to get live images on internet through web pages. By merging on internet it become easier and more useful when latest java technology make it possible to access on mobile phone.
With respect to management of this technology, a lot of companies are in operation which makes hardware and providing software. With regard to hardware technologies it become this technology was completely changed as now the equipment used are changed from analogue to digital and image quality was not only changed from back & white to colour but its also become possible to take image in night.
It was the when recording was on video tape which are bigger in size and have a lot of moveable parts in it. It also takes a lot of time to check the video required on particular time. In this modern age video signal is converted to digital and the equipment used to save images are call Digital Video Recorders (DVR). In these recording devices the media used to save live images are hard drives and DVD’s instead of tap-drives. The hard drives and DVD’s provide more storage space as compared to video cassette which is used in tap drive to save images.
These new technologies make enable to access data more quickly as compared to tape drive and we can generate multiple copies in less time. It also makes it possible to transfer data over the network from one place to other very quickly.
Videos signalling on internet are some of the main components of future generations networking technologies. Under this project I have discussed about the video signalling in future generation networks their management, challenges and solutions and other applications and service used for purpose of monitoring of these kinds of networks. The most modern technology which is abbreviated as DDNS technology is also discussed in this paper. The most modern use of this technology with respect of security is the main focus on this paper.
The main ideology behind all work is to minimize the efforts of work and get better results, by introducing web base monitoring and management tools.
In this paper work I also discuss about MRTG. In this regard I try to explore the modern techniques which are used to monitor and manage networks. The main objective of this work is try to illustrate the techniques and tools used to monitor network traffic through Multi Router Traffic Graph (MRTG) and some of the other tools like CACTI and NAGIOS. In this paper work I introduced some of the comparative features of these tools / web applications on the basis of their preferences and efficiencies in order to present the CCTV data on network traffic pictorially or visually.
During this project work I personally worked in real time environment. During this practical work I try to explore which I have seen and found with regard to problems and their solutions. My real time practical work on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and installation and configurations of Exchange Server during my study work provide a huge experience to write this project. During this apprenticeship period I also worked on real time live connection of CCTV security cameras on web through DDNS Technology. In this practical work I also work on some websites which are active and ready to view on internet.
