[工作點滴] Miracast in surveillance system

Weeks ago, the supplier demo the Miracast function to us and my colleague told me maybe we can think if there are applications for surveillance system. At first I saw nothing special for surveillance application but I may find there is now.
Here is a capture picture from the whitepaper of WiFi alliance.

Basically, Miracast is a protocol and this means Miracast can be over any kind of infrastructure. However, Miracast connections are expected to be predominantly established between Wi-Fi devices connected with each other directly, without an AP acting as an intermediary. According to the topology, what we can see is a source to a sink and it is a peer-to-peer connection.
Go back to the topic we want to talk for surveillance. I plot a picture as follow, and this is just like a traditional surveillance system with cameras, recorder and monitor.

Now the connection part become the Miracast wifi direct to the adapter like NVR and play the video through HDMI to monitor finally. In future, the smart TV integrate the adapter and monitor part and link to cloud service as the picture.

If our target system is small with 4~8ch or under, this structure is quite simple and real for home, small store...etc. It's interesting and I'm looking forward to see it happen in near future.
