The security industry has adopted a centralized storage approach for IP video surveillance systems.
Manufacturers followed traditional data center designs, assuming that it was best to use the standard architecture for Information Technology (IT). However, many of the growing issues with IP video systems today, such as bandwidth, storage and maintenance costs, are the direct result of this centralized storage architecture.

In 2006, the U.S. Congress mandated that “High Risk” chemical facilities develop and implement security plans to guard against the possibility of terrorism. Congress authorized the Department of Homeland Security to develop and administer the appropriate regulations. Congress established fines of $25,000 per day and closure of the facility as the penalties for any company found to be out of compliance. In 2008, DHS began the rollout of the regulation with the most significant and complicated portion of the implementation beginning now.

Recently, manufacturers have been promoting CCTV cameras with resolution specifications
higher than 540 HTVL, implying that video security customers will benefit from enhanced
resolution. It turns out, however, that even if a CCTV camera can pass a test that validates a resolution specification over 540 HTVL, the end-user is not going to get more than 540 lines out of a typical installation because of system limitations common to all real-world CCTV applications.

Since 2000, data centers have more than doubled the kilowatt-hours of electricity required to run the computers centers of the world. If trends continue, the world will need more than 25 new power plants to run the Internet alone. The priority of “green” initiatives has never been more critical as datacenter managers look to reduce the energy use below today’s average of 50 watts per square foot.
