We’ve often wrote about how sharing video and data can be a powerful tool, especially when that information can be trusted and is easy to get at.
Another instance of using information sharing over the Internet is a work in progress in the IETF. Authored by some folks at Verisign and Entrust, the IETF Internet Draft [...]

John Honovich rated managed video as one of the top 3 emerging technologies in Video Surveillance for 2008. We here at Envysion are flattered to be mentioned as the segment leader!

A town planning committee in Tremont, Maine installed a single camera video surveillance system with audio for just this purpose.
The purpose of the one camera system is to keep accurate records of their planning meetings according to the article.
Publishing such meetings on the Internet as [...]
There seems to be confusion over what to call network video components. There are a number industry terms and lots of jargon in this area. It’s a relatively new field and is to be expected. As the market figures out which technologies get used where, names will come and go. But there are a [...]
