Its the TV not the IP that is of interest to the consumer. Interactive functions, on-demand searching and other advanced services are of interest to consumers, but compelling TV content is core. Making IPTV simple, reliable and easy to use as the familiar TV and remote control is essential to overcome the concerns over the problems associated with Internet, such as reliability, complexity, and viruses. Consumers overwhelming prefer to watch television on a television set. Though some interest was expressed in watching television on a PC, it will not open up the mass market.

MD/ME Storage
Process: 1. Surveillance camera has encoding capability and it can send out video data in IP encapsulation. 2. Video data from the camera is transmitted to CEC/CX 3. CEC/CX will take this video data as TV channel 4. The data can be stored in EMS/CMS if needed, this is the same as Time shifted TV. 5. Browsing the historical video data is the same as playing a TVoD 6. Finally, The Client can watch live surveillance video like Live TV.
