ABSTRACT

Many QoS-enabled architectures and protocols have been proposed to solve the problem of endto-end quality of real-time video services (Engel T. 2003, Callejo-Rodriguez MA 2008, Awduche D. 2001). However the mentioned solutions are not well suited to the large variation of maximum available data rate of video monitoring systems. In our proposal we decided to use our own cross-layer

1 INTRODUCTION

Video surveillance systems for many years are used to enhance the safety of citizens and the protected objects. With video surveillance we meet both in public and national utility facilities, in places publicly available and in the areas with limited access. Monitoring systems are a combination of video recording (sensors), transmitting, storing and reproducing devices in one integral unit. They enable the observation of people or objects in real time as well as the event recording for later analysis.
