Abstract:
We have been improving our monitoring system, which had been organized with network cameras, an integrated web/mail server, web-based clients and remote control devices. Several kinds of devices can be used as our clients including, for example, high-performance cellular phone, which are equipped with Java virtual machine and web-browsing facilities. Our integrated server is designed to play intensive roles of web and e-mail services. It can obtain JPEG images from network cameras, process them, accumulate them into its database. It can also receive some types of requests from clients, analyze them and perform registered services for monitoring and/or controlling. Almost all software of our monitoring system have been written in Java programming language, because of easy andpowerful description of GUI as well as network programming.
