Among the digital monitoring system, MPEG4 encoding compression technology and embedded technologies are widely used, chemical embedded MPEG4 video surveillance system has a broad market prospect and highly advanced technology. In this paper, the MPEG coding standards and on the basis of analysis of the characteristics, given a set of MPEG4 video surveillance system design, and implementation are integrated MPEG4 exposition, after the actual chemical application shows that the system performance stable, real good, do not need to assign someone to manage, scalability is also very good.
