The client
TEW Plus supply specialist CCTV, perimeter and asset protection products.

The brief
Create a web-based system to give TEW Plus customers the ability to view images recorded by their remote camera sites.

The solution
We created a on-line system that allowed TEW Plus to organise their customers and cameras, and give their customers log-in access to their own images. Key features of the system include:

• ability to receive images from remote cameras sent via FTP or email;
• users can choose to view images in a slide show or grid view;
• real-time tracking of every image’s view state – new, unviewed or viewed;
• ability to download multiple images to a user’s computer
• auto image delete after X days (each customer can be set individually);
• email notification of camera errors.

The technical bit

• ASP.net (VB Script);
• AJAX;
• MySQL 5 database;
• Multi-user client and administrator level logins;
• Automatic AJAX partial page content updates;
• POP3 mail server integration;
• Automated image file resizing and organisation;
• Recurring scheduled tasks managing file system and email processing;
• Text file based automatic process logs.
