Second Prize
Low-Cost Four-Channel Network Video Server

The cost of commercial options for setting up a network of IP surveillance cameras for home use can be prohibitively expensive. By contrast, conventional CCTV cameras, which transmit analog NTSC signals, are more affordable. The only thing missing has been the ability to take the analog NTSC signal, digitize it, and transmit it over an Ethernet interface. This simple eZ80F91 microcontroller-based network video server does just that. The inexpensive video server can accept inputs from up to four analog cameras to reduce the per-channel cost.
