This is a  basic overview of how a video surveillance camera system functions.

AVE (Augmented Virtual Earth) Video Fusion Demo. Fly-through of six cities around the world with live videos on surveillance scene. AVE Video Fusion (TM) combines Google Earth like features with live camera videos projected on 3D model. Unlike others which simply render video on a polygon/ground and with limited number of camera support. This is a REAL 3D video projection with occlusion and architects for scalability in number of cameras & viewing stations. Applications include wide-area video surveillance systems such as those at military bases. This program is not Google Earth. It is written from scratch using C++/OpenGL for windows. No Google Earth API, NASA World Wind or any game engine are involved. Program is multi-core CPU & GPU optimized for best performance. Please add &fmt=18 at the end of the above link for higher quality video. Visit our web site for HD video in full screen (required 2Mbps bandwidth).

I am searching for some good video surveillance software which permits monitoring via the Internet. WE have 8 cameras in each of our 2 business locations making that 16 cameras in total that we need to monitor.The software needs to be able to run under Windows XP and I came across TRENDnet VortexIP Lite 16 Surveillance Software but I have been unable to find any decent reviews about th e product so I would appreicate any recommendations and thanks in anticipation.

Is this the ultimate video surveillance software vailable? Take a look and find out!
