d. Peer to Peer (P2P)
NextConnect™ is a patent-pending, peer-to-peer technology that efficiently streams live video to an
unlimited number of users from a single site. This unique approach improves upon traditional models of
hosted video and access control by eliminating the need to route video and other data through a host
computer for each update.
NextConnect™ establishes a direct connection between the remote user and the NLSS Gateway, allowing
video to stream faster and smoother with reduced bandwidth consumption. In addition, video quality is
not degraded as more users log in to view the same video stream. This efficient routing of video and other
security data also reduces bandwidth and ultimately, Increased Demand Means Increased Resources.
With NextConnect™, clients provide resources,
which may include bandwidth and computing power.
As more users log in to view live video, the capacity of
the system actually increases because users connect
with other users, providing additional connection
points. In essence as demand increases, resources
also increase.
By contrast, in a traditional Client–Host system, users
share only their demands with the Host, but not their
resources. This means that as more clients join the system,
fewer resources are available to serve each client and the video
performance degrades rapidly. The decentralized nature of
NextConnect™ also increases robustness because it removes
the single point of failure that can be inherent in a Client-Host based system.
»Unlimited Live Viewing: In the event of an emergency, multiple people need to view live video
simultaneously including police, emergency response teams, facilities managers and more.
Traditional remote video systems limit the number of people that access video before it starts to
degrade. NLSS Cloud Services, powered by NextConnect™, enables an unlimited number of
viewers to access the same video simultaneously.
»No Single Point of Failure: The decentralized nature of NextConnect™ also increases
robustness because it removes the single point of failure that can be inherent in a client-host
based system. If one point fails, the system will automatically connect to another access point.
»Encrypted 128bit AES for Video, Audio and Data providing secure communications between
trusted peers.
e. System supported network protocols
The Next Level Security System supports the following network protocols:
TCP, UDP, IPv4, HTTP, HTTPS, RTP, RTSP, DHCP, DNS, ARP, ICMP, IGMP, NTP, FTP, SFTP, UPnP,
RTMP and SNMP.
NextConnect™ P2P enables unlimited numbers
of live viewers to access the same video
simultaneously with no loss in quality.
