MJPEG vs MPEG-4

This white paper is intended to help the reader understand the roles and benefit of both theMJPEG and theMPEG-4 compression methods, and when to use which one based on necessity and performance. It begins with some basic concepts that relate to both image size (in pixels) and PPF (pixels per foot). This is followed by some background information on compression: why it was needed, and how it is accomplished; finally, each compression method is described separately, listing the key advantages of each.

A Higher Degree of Protection for Schools: IP Video Surveillance

Schools and colleges should be safe havens for education. Unfortunately, like every other part of society, they suffer their share of crime and violence. Providing physical protection can be difficult and expensive throughout a school system or college campus.
