Learn The Latest On IP

Dec 1, 2007 12:00 PM

Realizing the potential of IP technology is the focus of the IIPSEC 2008 International IP in Security Exhibition and Conference, Jan. 29-31 in Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, United Kingdom. The three-day technology exhibition offers product showcases, educational programs, seminars and presentations devoted to illustrating the benefits of networked security.

Here is a sampling of the conference's more than 60 educational tracks, focused break-out sessions and case study presentations:

IPv6 - The New Internet and What it Means to You

Delivered by the IPv6 Forum, a worldwide consortium of Internet vendors aiming to promote IPv6, the break-out session will update and identify the improvements it offers over IPv4. The existing IPv4 (IP version 4) contains just more than 4 billion unique IP addresses, which is not enough to last indefinitely. IPv6 is a replacement for IPv4, offering far more IP addresses and enhanced security features.

Implementing IP Cameras into Existing Coax Networks

Building up IP networks and migrating from current analog networks to IP is one of the main issues security companies face. One of the lesser known alternatives involves using the current coaxial network together with a technical solutions that will enable both Ethernet and power to travel through the standard coaxial cable. This session reviews the technical and operational challenges of this approach along with its advantages.

How Secure is IP Security?

With more security technology being deployed over networks today along with the trend of using wireless systems, which can be easily breached, there is a need to ensure that the network is secure. The increasing popularity of IP-based network video makes it an attractive target for attack. This seminar will explain how the same security risks that apply to digital data apply to network video data.

Network Video Masterclass

The seminar takes an in-depth look at network video, starting with a review of the architecture and delving into the issues around evaluating and selecting suitable hardware and software. Topics include choosing appropriate network infrastructure, best practices in deploying network video, understanding variables that affect performance and bandwidth, the value of application software, using analytics and intelligent technology, storing and archiving images through hard disks, and future trends and developments.

Unlocking the True Potential of Megapixel Technology

The seminar looks into the latest developments in megapixel technology, beginning with a review of compression techniques. Attendees will learn the operational requirements of the technology, how to determine how much resolution is required for each camera and how to choose the optimum lens. The use of Google Maps as a tool for determining outdoor camera placement will also be discussed.
