A Compact Architecture for Wireless Video Surveillance over CDMA Network

Wireless video surveillance over CDMA network enables transfer of high quality live video via public wireless broadband, which is accessible anywhere with CDMA mobile phone network coverage. Real time video can be received on an internet connected PC, laptop or even mobile phone. This makes possible surveillance from moving vehicles, or quick deployment in almost unrestricted locations. While many general purpose solutions exist for sending video over CDMA, they have not taken into consideration certain specific features of the network nor the requirements of the related applications. This paper presents a new architecture for video transmission over CDMA with simple hardware complexity, high reliability and rich functions. The compact and flexible system has been under trial in China, Australia, Singapore, Italy, Egypt and Brazil, amongst others.
