The current strongly developing surveillance industry has given rise to a significant number of solutions and technologies which can be divided into two main areas: analog technology and network surveillance technology.
Analog surveillance systems adopt a point-to-point connection to transmit data directly from one device to another – namely, an analog camera connected by coaxial cable to the port of a DVR allows the camera feed to be viewed, thus achieving its surveillance functionality. If the camera feed is to be viewed remotely, a remote network connection must be established through the DVR.
A network video monitoring system adopts modern Ethernet technology and uses a LAN connection between camera devices and an NVR. All front-end network cameras and back-end network storage devices are connected to the same Ethernet network, which is then used for communication between the devices. Any node on the network may access any device on the network as long as it obtains authorization from the accessed device.

What are the Inherent Fire Risks of Modern Battery Technology?
Videos of electro-scooters and electric cars bursting into flames while charging have been seen around the world. They make headlines, at least locally, almost every time, and have been responsible for significant damage and even loss of life. For all those that do catch fire, there are of course many thousands more that do not. Nevertheless, the inherent fire risk is there with every battery-powered – or more accurately, accumulator-powered – vehicle or device. Has fire-fighting and fire-containment technology kept up with the technological progress of these ‘batteries’?
