Infraestrutura de monitoramento remoto por vídeo utilizando câmeras IP e um dispositivo ARM

Abstract

Everyday it becomes more common to see homes and commercial establishments installing monitoring systems with cameras. This is because of the growth of criminality on the country and the consequent population insecurity sense. There are several systems on the market today, varying on levels and values. However some establishments require a specific solution, as was the case presented in this paper, where the use of cameras with PoE technology was necessary to avoid the need of changing the existing electrical wiring. The ARM Cubieboard device used in the project, by being small, was easily installed outside the establishment in order to ensure its integrity, and yet presented some advantages such as scalability compared to conventional devices. The free software Zoneminder proved to be a complete tool and simple to operate. The use of the H.264 video compression standard allowed the 1TB HD to store recordings of up to 1.5 months. Still by having a web interface was possible to configure it to be accessed from outside the local network, which was one of the requirements of the establishment owner.
