Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) offer practically the highest degree of security and protection. Their purpose is real time monitoring and video images recording from cameras in the objects, as well as transferring the information to the control center, thereby a more reliable and secure protection around a wide range of objects, including those with a high degree of security, is built – it protects against trespassers, vandals, and unauthorized individuals entering restricted areas, captures incidents, allows remote video surveillance (on a computer, mobile devices, etc.). In this paper the principles of development of VSS and the possibilities of their integration into remote monitoring and control systems of complex technical sites and those with a high degree of protection are considered. The use of existing OTN-type data transmission networks also offers the following advantages: long distances, redundancy, multi-vendor video integration, cost effective, any type of video equipment and their proprietary protocols can be connected directly to the network.
