New website focused on electronics development for security market
19 November 2014
News
Engineers looking to develop cutting-edge security systems may want to pay a visit to the new security applications website launched by Mouser Electronics.
Accessible via the URL www.mouser.com/applications/security, this resource focuses not only on strictly security related topics but also the enabling technologies prevalent in this market today, such as Internet connectivity with the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) convergence.
The ‘Applications’ section of the site provides a comprehensive overview of IP cameras including a detailed system diagram with recommended components. Developers can learn how an IP camera captures and transmits live images over a network, with remote viewing and user control available from anywhere at any time.
Clicking on a block on the IP camera diagram brings up a list of applicable components including microcontrollers, image sensors and audio codecs. Also available is a block diagram of a video content analytics server that explains how this technology processes many digital images and videos simultaneously, doing the work of hundreds of people.
The ‘Featured Products’ section lists important components used for security applications. Currently highlighted are Analog Devices’ Blackfin 16-/32-bit processors, TE Connectivity’s CloudSplitter connector system, Broadcom’s fast Ethernet switches, and many more.
The ‘Articles’ area of the website lists papers focusing on key topics including ‘Applying Modern Machine Vision Technologies to Security’, ‘Silicon, Security, and the Internet of Things’, and ‘Smarter Solutions for Video Surveillance’. All articles offer an area to post comments and questions to facilitate further discussions on the topic.
Finally, the ‘Resources’ section lists videos and application notes that discuss device selection and application considerations for different security applications. Target applications include authentication, automotive, biometrics, DVR, embedded system vision, encryption, Ethernet, industrial, IP camera, security ICS, smart grid and surveillance.
