Samsung: Surveillance Camera/DVR

Key Documents

Sophisticated surveillance systems ensure public safety and security.

Samsung is an industry leader in sophisticated surveillance systems, including dome cameras that ensure safety and security in public venues, such as airports and shopping malls. A recent model of one such offering employs a Xilinx FPGA with an embedded MicroBlaze™ soft-processor core. Xilinx FPGAs play an integral role in both the digital video recorder (DVR) and the dome camera, providing Samsung with a competitive edge by increasing functionality, reducing development costs and speeding time-to-market.

The Samsung DVR processes four channels simultaneously on a single Xilinx device. The dome camera uses a second FPGA, likewise equipped with an embedded MicroBlaze soft processor, to calculate multiple coordinates and interface with the digital video recorder.

As security risks increase, the need to visually monitor and record events has escalated in diverse use models. As a result, new architectures must provide scalability for cost-effective solutions across an increasingly varied set of video surveillance system requirements. Samsung’s dome camera uses a [Xilinx FPGA] with embedded MicroBlaze soft processor to calculate coordinates and interface with a digital video recorder.
