WeSeeYou: Adapting Video Streaming for Surveillance Applications

Police departments and other law enforcement agencies have integrated a greater number of video cameras into their daily routines. This has introduced with it the problem of moving and processing vast amounts of video data. In this work, we take a look at some of the associated problems and our own attempts to address them. We first analyze the physical network and infrastructure at Temple University´s main campus to determine the limitations we will meet in the real world. We investigate and implement a simple technique to transfer data across multiple wireless networks. Finally we look at different techniques of limiting the video we will transfer in the network switches to ensure that a video we want to prioritize reaches its intended destination in real time.
