Trend from a computer to the network There is a big trend emerging in the business security industry.
This trend was a while back predicted by the Sun Corporation then CEO, Scott McNealy stating "the network is the computer.
" Well, it is actually happening in home and business network surveillance systems right now.
How? Let's take a look at individual components:

• First, the digital video surveillance cameras are becoming computers in themselves, and connecting with a network of computers instead with a dedicated computer.
  For instance, when the video recording software is "on camera", the camera can bypass the computer and send the signal directly to the NAS, or network attached storage.
  
• Second, given the "on camera" software, the computer that we use to access the camera video streams, is only accessing the NAS, network attached storage, not the camera directly.
  
• Third, the network attached storage and the security video footage which is local to our home or business network, can now be accessed securely from anywhere in the world, using laptops, netbooks, internet connected computers, broadband smart phones, iPhones and the like.
  In addition, the security cameras can be controlled securely via these remote devices as well.
