High-definition surveillance camera control system from mobile phones

The demand for remote monitoring by high-definition, high-quality video has been growing as high-definition surveillance cameras come on the market and mobile networks for transmitting that video become capable of higher speeds and larger capacities. We have developed a prototype high-definition surveillance-camera system to meet this demand using surveillance cameras capable of shooting high-definition video and a transcoder / camera-control gateway. Our system uses protocols defined by Peer-to-peer Universal Computing Consortium (PUCC) to control various kinds of devices over a peer-to-peer network. This system enables remote high-quality video monitoring from mobile phones by controlling a HDTV-quality video camera using PUCC protocol.
