1039 Advanced Micro Peripherals has introduced a modular IP streamer/server for remote video monitoring applications in defence and critical infrastructures. The Hydra system supports up to nine channels of video streaming along with a single audio input channel. The system has been designed and tested for both fixed and mobile applications in the toughest conditions, making use of military-grade (MIL-DTL-38999) connectors (with dust covers), input power protection for compatibility with vehicle power systems and infrared reflective paint. The system was also created as a modular solution to facilitate the integration of other functions and application code to meet the requirements of specific applications.

The standard IP streamer/server system can be quickly configured over a LAN connection using a regular browser, with the operating parameters for each video channel being set individually or as a group. Furthermore, the image quality and bit rate can be optimised to suite the available network bandwidth.

    Despite much research and technological promise, progress towards cooperative infrastructure system deployment is still slow. Here, Robert Cone and John Miles take a considered look at how and when it might come about. From a systems engineering viewpoint it looks logical and inevitable that vehicles should be communicating between themselves and with the road infrastructure. But seen from a business viewpoint the case is not proven.
