- Push Technology or server push: This pushes information to a client from a server, NAS, DVR, NVR or network camera. This is the opposite of a traditional client/server model. Alerts, updates, triggers are initiated by the server as opposed to requested by the client.
Let’s explain “Push Technology” or “server push a bit further. This pushes alerts in the form of video clip, still image or alarm function from your security camera, NAS, DVR, NVR or network camera, to your mobile device or computer. For example, we can program a rule that when a package is delivered at you front door, the system or camera would send a picture by text message and email you a video clip.
We can further define these rules to include only packages of a certain defined size. If case you are waiting for a medium sized box that is valuable and not a courier envelope that is not.
There are few limits to the types of information that today’s security cameras can process. Another example would be to use facial recognition to be alerted when someone other than your child walks up the driveway during defined hours, or if your child gets of the school bus while you are still at work, they are expected in the house between 3:30pm to 3:45pm you could get an alert when they arrive, or if your child gets distracted and doesn’t make it home by 3:45 you could also be alerted. The possibilities are almost limitless.
