Troubleshooting scenarios for video and surveillance applications

In the last 10 to 12 years, security and surveillance systems have taken on a larger and more important role in communications networks. The problems we might see in these types of networks will usually start from video freezes due to lack of bandwidth but can also be much more complicated as will be discussed in this recipe. In this recipe we will discuss some of the problems with these systems and how to approach and solve them.

Getting ready

Usually, you will be called to solve problems that users experience when watching security cameras. In this case, you can port mirror the specific camera (1), the communication line in the remote site (2), and a camera server (3), or you can monitor the central line with a filter to the remote network (4).
