Building an IP Surveillance Camera

From Altera Corporation

Current market trends in video surveillance present a number of challenges to be
addressed, including the move from analog to digital cameras, conversion to highdefinition
(HD) video, adoption of wide dynamic range (WDR) sensors, and Internet
Protocol (IP) connectivity for control and data streams. This white paper describes the
IP Surveillance Camera Reference Design and shows how the entire system is built
using a low-cost Altera® Cyclone® III FPGA.

Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA)
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have a different architecture than SPLDs and CPLDs, and typically offer higher capacities. FPGAs are also known as logic cell arrays (LCA) and programmable ASIC (pASIC).
Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC)
Application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) are electronic chips designed for a particular application.
Programmable Logic Devices (PLD)
Programmable logic devices (PLD) are designed with configurable logic and flip-flops linked together with programmable interconnect. PLDs provide specific functions, including device-to-device interfacing, data communication, signal processing, data display, timing and control operations, and almost every other function a system must perform.
Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD)
Complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) are integrated circuits (ICs) or chips that application designers configure to implement digital hardware such as mobile phones. CPLDs can handle significantly larger designs than simple programmable logic devices (SPLDs), but provide less logic than field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
