A P2P based adaptive service multimedia surveillance system

In recent years, strong and challenging requirements of modern society are involved in advanced surveillance systems, which aims to increase safety and security. At the same time, fast improvements in network technology, multimedia technology, and computer science make it necessary to consider new perspectives in this field. Today, the research of P2P Computing, Media Streaming and Adaptive Service has captured the interest of both the academia and industrial worlds. In this paper, we proposed a P2P based adaptive service framework for the multimedia surveillance system. In particular, aspects related to the applicability of P2P to the problem of multimedia surveillance system are discussed and a new surveillance system structure is presented, which bases on P2P model and uses media streaming system structure for reference. The surveillance software architecture is designed, which bases on Adaptive Service architecture and uses COM technology. To be adapted to the available systems resource dynamically, the adaptive control and manage strategy are introduced. The advantages of these solutions are as follows: 1) increased flexibility and configurability, 2) optimal use of available system resources.
