Video Surveillance

Convergence. It’s the buzzword of the video surveillance industry over the last 3-4 years. And convergence is certainly happening all across the world. The video surveillance game has made the move to the data network. But why should I jump on board and ride the convergence wave?

The answer is simple.

Benefits galore.

Mega-Pixel Technology - you can have HD quality video at your fingertips, resulting in greater detail and easier prosecution of the bad guy. It will also save you money since you need fewer mega-pixel cameras to cover the same area as a low-resolution analog camera.

Reduced Cabling Costs - now we can run a single CAT 5/6 cable to each camera for POE(power over Ethernet) and video transmission. One inexpensive, easy to handle and install CAT5/6 cable. Reduced labor costs means reduced acquisition cost for you!

Video Analytics - sophisticated algorithyms are now being written that will send automatic alarms should someone encroach the wrong area, or drive their vehicle in the wrong direction, or leave a bag in the wrong area. When seconds count, you need the alarm quickly to take action and save lives and protect your property!

Non-Proprietary Video Storage - with the dropping cost of storage, we can now leverage terabytes and pedabytes of storage on non-proprietary video servers that are much more cost effective than the old DVR boxes. Boxes that cost about one arm plus one leg to purchase. And when they die magically just after the warranty period ends, you repeat the process. Those days are going the way of the VHS tape player. Just following in line.

Better Compression Methods - yes, all of us in the network world do admit that mega-pixel technology is a bandwidth hog, but just in time to rescue us all from its woes is the new compression technology known as H.264. Basically we can now deliver great video to you in more efficiently compressed data packets that save you lots of storage capacity on your server and keeps the network humming along just fine.
