scope:

The visual surveillance (VS) service is a telecommunication service focusing on audio and video application technology that is used to remotely capture multimedia (such as video, image, audio and various alarm signals) and present them to the end user in a friendly manner, based on a managed broadband network with ensured quality, security and reliability.

This Recommendation focuses on the architecture of a visual surveillance system with mobile units, as well as on the service flow related to mobile units, such as a mobile customer unit (M_CU), accessing real-time video streams from a visual surveillance system. This Recommendation defines the architecture, functional requirements, model, entities and reference points of the mobile visual surveillance system, based on the architecture defined in [ITU-T H.626].
