Welcome To SIP, Video Surveillance

Video surveillance is one of those huge markets where standards aren't used enough.

The hybrid ones, where camera links use proprietary protocols, but some gateway along the way is capable of converting it to a standard protocol. The standard protocol of choice in this industry is RTSP - real time streaming protocol. It is basically a protocol defining a kind of a VCR remote control, where you can "select a channel", "play" a stream and do some other tricks. There seems to be some who regard SIP as a better solution for RTSP (and I agree). Full Story
