IP Camera
Overview
As the number of cameras in a monitoring network increases and the emphasis moves from video capture and compression to analytics, scalability demands that the analysis function moves from the core to the edge of the network. The Jazz architecture allows the designer to allocate resources to encoding and analytics dynamically, allowing the full range of camera applications to be addressed. The CC1100 device supports single or dual camera configurations and multiple compression options. The CC1100 device offers high levels of device integration while providing the system integrator with the greatest flexibility to create value-added products.
