Surveillance is the monitoring of the behaviour, activities, or other changing information, usually of people and often in a surreptitious manner. It most usually refers to observation of individuals or groups by government organizations, but disease surveillance, for example, is monitoring the progress of a disease in a community.


About This Project

The theme of this project is about the transition of technology from analogue to digital and finally to end-to-end Internet Protocol for video surveillance, and all forms of security related systems. The student shall research about the progress of technology evolutions, current penetration rate of each in New Zealand, and works being done for expediting the migration of technology platform. Deliverables from the student shall include written reports, presentation files, white papers or marketing articles at an industrial and business level.

Research has branched in 3 directions:

  • The application of video analytic software to camera footage that will provide further values to business operations. Examples are the automatic recording of vehicle license plate numbers for toll road charging and the automatic alarming to police of recognition of hands up video patterns in banks.
  • The inclusion of access control, intruder alarm, and fire alarm systems etc in an IP based central control system. This will lead to an integrated security system in lieu of fragmented monitoring and security services.
  • The transmission of video streams over the Internet and 3G or wireless media. This applies to surveillance in mobile conditions as well as for remote locations.
