Improvements to network switches and other network components that enable improved status monitoring and logging of network and device parameters, particularly for networked video surveillance applications. The network switch or other network component, which may be an IP camera for example, outputs a networked video stream which contains graphical representations of relevant data, such as simple graphs or indicators. The networked video stream, and therefore the relevant data, can then be conveniently viewed and/or stored as a networked video stream with existing standard technology. An additional benefit is that conventional motion detection can be performed on the graphical representations in the networked video stream to generate alarms or trigger events.
A network switch for networked video surveillance applications, the network switch configured or adapted to determine one or more network parameters, generate a sequence of image frames containing at least one graphical representation corresponding to the one or more network parameters, and output a networked video stream comprising the sequence of image frames.
