Enhanced security for transmission of digital video signals 

VSID® (Video Source ID) makes for safe transmission of digital video signals – worldwide unique solution for protection against tampering and fraudulent manipulation – realtime surveillance

Fuerth, 22.05.2012 - Fuerth – Similar hazardous situations – whether during surveillance of tracks, crossings or airports – are always facing the same risk: Does the video show the potential scene of action and is it real-time visualized? Funkwerk has the worldwide first solution for this problem: The VSID® Coding System (Video Source ID). VSID® secures real-time imaging instead of infiltrated recordings or downtime-related freeze frames.

VSID® marks the IP camera or recorder image (or rather the I-frame) with an encrypted ID and a timestamp from the SNTP time server. Dr. Volker Wilkening, Funkwerk‘s CEO, highlights the advantages: “Our system clearly identifies all images, whether they are live or recorded. The operator can see the origin of all pictures at first glance.” Thanks to VSID® interruptions of the video stream or high periods of latency within the network will not remain undiscovered, too. To this day the digital video world did not know a comparable measure of safety.

Defense against sabotage in open and closed networks

VSID® offers effective defense against sabotage of video streams being of particular importance for open networks. For the first time ever, VSID® and unique identification of streams prevent infiltration of manipulated video signals or jamming of original video signals even when being marked with an identical video IP address. Beyond this new security feature the operator gets the possibility to fade in the coded VSID® ID in up to 16 alphanumeric characters.

Implementation of hardware solution as of now

Currently the VSID®-solution refers to hardware only as identification, evaluation and activation of video images is realized within the system components. “Limitation to hardware components for video surveillance allows us to work fully independent from the used management system. This allows replacement or addition of individual components without reconfiguration of the entire system”, declares Volker Wilkening.
