Summary

The purpose of Recommendation ITU-T H.626 is to define a video surveillance system based on IP networks. The video surveillance system provides the display and storage functions of the multimedia (such as video, audio and image) captured by multiple remote cameras over an IP network for multiple users. It also provides other functions, such as remote control, alarm and linkage action, recording and playback.

This Recommendation defines the model, architecture, entities and reference points of the video surveillance system. This Recommendation also describes the hierarchy model for deployment and interworking between the video surveillance system and other multimedia systems.

This revision updates the title of this Recommendation, deletes requirements and service flows, and revises the architecture and reference points.
