Compact video surveillance and security system based on a single-board multi-purpose computer

   Ensuring the security of facilities today is a priority for many companies and manufacturing enterprises. Security video surveillance systems carry out constant monitoring of any residential, office space, as well as industrial facilities and the territories adjacent to them. Despite the wide variety of security systems and complexes currently on the market, a very small part may well be relevant for use in apartments and small offices for a number of reasons, including financial ones. The solution that is proposed in this article, in fact, provides for the possibility of using those hardware components that were originally involved in solving a different range of tasks. So, for example, the functions of the security system could be taken over by a multimedia server, which is used at home for storing and distributing videos, musical compositions and photographs.
