In other countries, coaxial cable use RG ratings to distinguish between the different kinds of cables. RG59 coaxial cable is the ideal choice for analog video surveillance system. Furthermore, for easy video surveillance installation, people can choose Siamese coaxial cable which consists of a RG59 cable merged together with a 2C power cable. Through using Siamese coaxial cable you can run the power and video signal for your security cameras simultaneously, which in turn, greatly reduce installation time and cost. Generally, RG59 equals to SYV-75-5.

Embedded Network Video Recorders (NVRs) over Windows-based NVRs Comparison

Embedded Network Video Recorders (NVRs) over Windows-based NVRs Comparison

Video surveillance users who opt for an NVR using an embedded, dedicated Linux operating system within a self-contained unit will benefit from performance which is superior to that offered by a Windows-based NVR in terms of ease of use, system stability and decoding capability.

Embedded NVRs are distinguished from WINDOWS-based NVRs primarily on how they operate and the features they provide. The stand-alone NVR comes in a single, compact enclosure. By contrast, a WINDOWS-based NVR is a peripheral addition to a system involving a CPU, keyboard and monitor. In confined locations, an embedded unit performs a similar if not wider range of functions while occupying less space. Embedded NVRs have overcome their perceived shortcomings in terms of storage capacity and types of storage medium through use of devices including IP-SAN, eSATA, NAS (network-attached storage) and Fire wire.  Furthermore, embedded NVRs can support interfaces to other surveillance devices which can be conveniently integrated with alarm systems and access control systems as well as PTZ remote control systems.

Functions common to the two approaches
Some common functions between the two video recording solutions in the surveillance market, it will be useful to list the core functions that are common to both approaches. These include: recording; archiving; display; playback; search on parameters such as date, timeline and event; camera management; triggered recording on prescribed events and export to removable media. NVRs are also usually expected to be able to handle VoIP packets. Once digitalized video has been streamed, end-users expect to be able to treat it like any other network data, viewing it locally, on LANs and remotely from web browsers. They also expect to be able to exercise PTZ control over cameras remotely, configure settings and even perform upgrades remotely.

Storage

Although NVRs have ample internal recording and storing space, the PC-based systems offer as much as seven times more storage, when compared to an NVR. This advantage is, however, addressed by NVRs, through the provision for external storage options (USB storage devices, eSATA devices, Firewire storage devices, NAS appliances, etc.)

Reliability
The precise architecture of the embedded NVR units makes them less prone to crash. However, the WINDOWS methodology for NVRs is certainly 'open' in terms of the addition of external storage, installation of software etc. The controls are embedded into the NVR; they are an integral part of the panel rather than an adjunct, and the activity of operators can therefore be more easily restricted to legitimate usage.

Stability
Unlike a WINDOWS-based unit which is likely to run a range of Windows™ applications, an embedded NVR benefits from the stability that comes with Linux code which is optimized to run only applications relevant to the surveillance tasks required. An embedded operating system contains only the software components necessary for the specific functions of the NVR, and the unit will be supplied with optimum configurations straight from the factory after rigorous testing.

Scalability

An NVR is designed to offer optimal performance for a set number of cameras, and is normally less scalable than a WINDOWS -based system. This makes the unit suitable for smaller systems where the number of cameras stays within the limits of an NVR’s designed capacity.

Boot Time

The NVR runs an embedded operating system as compared to a WINDOWS -based system, which needs to run an application under the Windows OS before it begins recording. This means that the NVR will start faster as compared to the WINDOWS -based system; which will take longer to load.

Complex decoding
Embedded NVRs consistently outperform WINDOWS-based solutions in their ability not only to perform complex decoding but also to give the user reliable video playback and preview. Currently, certain NVRs are among the few units which can perform both local decoding and playback, with decoding of up to 16 channels at 1080p being achievable. The processing demands made on a WINDOWS-based solution to achieve comparable performance are far higher than those required of an embedded device, and necessitate powerful, expensive CPUs.

Power consumption and manufacturing carbon footprint
Embedded technologies are helping the surveillance industry to go green in marked contrast with the WINDOWS approach. The power consumption of an embedded NVR is approximately 70W which is less than an incandescent light bulb. By contrast, the likely power consumption of a WINDOWS capable of running an NVR is approximately 200 watts and together with a large enterprise-grade monitor, the total figure will be about 300 watts. For any end-user mindful of their carbon footprint, these figures alone must do much to settle the debate.

Ease of Use
Embedded NVRs can have operating panels based on the very best intuitive design principles. LED signals, digital inputs and outputs, push buttons and dials can all be arranged in an ergonomic way. Sensible layout in a panel approach rather than a screen-based GUI can replicate the ease of use found in a WINDOWS but without the vulnerabilities described above.

ONVIF

Linux based Network Video Recorder for multi-brand and ONVIF compliant multi-megapixel IP cameras and basic automation.

HDCVI Vs HD-SDI & IP

HDCVI Vs HD-SDI & IP

HDCVI Vs HD-SDI

Longer Transmission Distance:-
Both HDCVI and HD-SDI can transfer HD signal @720p/1080p, but HDCVI has a distinguished advantage at the transmission distance.
With general transmission media, HD-SDI reaches 100 meters at most while HDCVI, at least, transmits 500 meters by using 75-3 cable and featuring low signal distortion rate.

Better Anti-Interference Capability:
The anti-interference capability of HD-SDI solution is relatively poor when been placed against high-frequent radiation environment, which could lead to higher bit error ratio while the HDCVI adopts low-frequency modulation technology, making it free from the high-frequency wireless electric radiation to ensure stable video transmission at high image quality.

HDCVI Vs IP

Reliability:
HDCVI adopts P2P transmission to ensure a smooth and reliable transmission; while the transmission of network camera is based on Ethernet and thus may lead to network jitter and packet loss.

Real-time:
The network HD features video bu­ffer technology and the delay is controlled within 300 milliseconds in the general and fair networking environment; However, HDCVI features no latency capability for an outstanding real-time performance.

No Compression:
For HDCVI, there is no compression processed to maintain its original e­ect and thus present in vivid image quality.

Benefits of HDCVI Technology:-

Lower Cost:-
Unlike HD-SDI, which posts high demands on cabling and installation; HDCVI solution inherits the same installing means of conventional analog solutions, which is of great convenience and also decrease the cost.

Smart Control:-
As HDCVI transmits multiple-signal (video/audio and dual-way data) over one cable, it realizes video/audio synchronized transmission and reverse-signal transmission control at the same time, such as PTZ and zoom control; which further simpli‑es the installation.

Where To Use HDCVI CCTV?

HDCVI Cameras very useful where HighDefinition CCTV Cameras require at Lowcosts and all areas like Banks, Hotels, Restaurants, Residential Buildings, Apartments, Flats, Police Stations, Public Areas, Various Government Sectors, Private Sectros, etc.

Choosing Video Surveillance for SMB Owner

5 Top Points for Choosing Video Surveillance for SMB Owner

Video surveillance innovations have changed the landscape for users in the SMB (Small, Medium-sized Businesses) market in India. Improved security, reduced liability and peace of mind, along with useable video for real-time monitoring, Mobile Surveillance and forensic investigations, are some of the benefits now available to the SMB.

Following are top 5 points every SMB owner should be aware of when upgrading or implementing new video surveillance systems / CCTV surveillance systems.

Quality – One key to a successful system is the quality of the image. New high definition (HD/AHD) and megapixel IP cameras capture images in great detail, enabling the SMB owner to more effectively protect people and assets. Improvements in camera technology such as wide dynamic range (WDR), digital signal processing (DSP), and increased signal to noise ratios have helped create cleaner images with stable operation, allowing their use over a wide range of environmental conditions. State of the art technology enables low-light operation, outstanding 30 FPS quality and high standards with minimal maintenance.

Wide Selection / Functionality – CCTV cameras come in all shapes and sizes, in all price ranges with a multitude of features. It’s important that you know what you want to accomplish with the camera and not be influenced by bells and whistles. Cameras are available for indoor and outdoor applications, in dome or box configurations, and with or without audio capability. Network cameras can be accessed remotely, moved anywhere on an IP network and conveniently powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). Digital technology has also enhanced the feature set of cameras with new and exciting capabilities. Advanced features include motion detection that can analyze video and respond automatically with actions such as tripping an alarm or initiating recording, freeing personnel from the need for constant monitoring. Image processing digitally removes ambient fog, haze or smoke to create the clearest picture. Other features include on-board recording to SD card, network failure detection, privacy mask and a variety of built-in video analytics features including active tampering detection and audio detect.

System Integration – One of the most compelling reasons for SMBs to consider new video surveillance technologies is the improved system integration capability. Open architecture and industry standards such as ONVIF, PSIA and H.264 have helped eliminate challenges once faced in designing a system. Now, best of breed designs can be put together to minimize financial impact while meeting security requirements with best available technology. Hybrid solutions further help preserve investments in infrastructure by deferring or eliminating the need to rip and replace systems that are still useful and functional. Additionally, the growing availability of integrated solutions like recorders with built-in software control and management capabilities enables the implementation of high performance, multi-camera HD systems with exceptional functionality, cost-efficiency and scalability.

Multi-Purpose Uses– New systems can offer the SMB options beyond video surveillance for improving business operations. For instance, video can be used to monitor daily operations and employee productivity. Not only can weaknesses or non-conformance issues be identified but the video system can be used to instruct the proper procedures. In retail environments, cameras can be integrated with point of sale (POS) systems to help with loss prevention. Video images can also be used to review consumer traffic patterns to assist the SMB owner in realizing optimum store layouts. The quality and reliability of the system makes the possibilities endless.

Technology Partners– SMBs may not have the staff or specific expertise and experience necessary to determine the kinds of products that will solve their particular issues, or to evaluate those products in order to choose the right one for the organization. By partnering with a trusted integrator who has knowledge and understanding of the systems, the SMB owner can better protect the value of the investment and help to ensure on-going satisfaction with the system.

The video surveillance playbook for SMBs has changed by becoming both more complex and more compelling. Taking the time to research and understand will help to make the decision process easier. 

Mobile vs. Remote Monitoring: Pros and Cons

Mobile vs. Remote Monitoring: Pros and Cons

Remote video surveillance is one of the luxuries of owning an IP security camera system. What matters is most is that you have access to your IP cameras when you’re physically away from the home or office. Mobile and remote video surveillance offer several advantages, but what are the key differences between the two?  VideoSurveillance.com has laid out the pros and cons of remote video surveillance and mobile monitoring so you can decide which solution is best for you.

Mobile Video Surveillance – Pros

Access Wherever You Go - Many people use their smartphone as they would a PC or laptop. What can be more advantageous about this method is that you can check up on your IP camera system from places where it wouldn’t be possible with a PC or laptop such as the grocery store, gym, the mall, and in the car (not while driving, of course!).

Ease of Use - In just a couple of clicks, you can monitor and manage all of your IP cameras. Once installed, most mobile surveillance apps make it incredibly easy to view your live video feed and even search and scroll through previously recorded video. By simply touching your screen, you can easily slide through multiple camera views and configure them in different display modes for utmost convenience.

No PC or Laptop Needed - As mentioned above, you don’t need an actual PC or laptop to access your video in real-time. So, forget about stopping by the office, driving to your library, logging on to your computer at home, or bringing your laptop to your hotel. You can do all your monitoring from a device that fits in the palm of your hand.

Mobile Video Surveillance – Cons

Limited Number of Features - Mobile video surveillance apps typically provide fewer features than PC web interfaces. The features available on some of today’s advanced video management software (VMS) platforms far exceed what you can do on a smartphone. VMS for PCs usually offer more configuration controls and flexibility when it comes to operating your IP camera system. Playback features tend to be much greater in scale, and give you the ability to carefully scrutinize recorded video. When you log into a cloud service or video management platform from a PC, you can do much more with recorded video such as send it in an email if you need to.

Screen Size - Even if you’re using the same IP camera resolution as you would on a PC, it’s still difficult to discern important details, which includes people and objects. This is due to the size of a smartphone, as the screen size is significantly smaller than a PC. A security camera app can be harder to decipher on smartphones because of the screen size.

Data Usage - Few mobile phone carriers offer unlimited data plans. One should monitor their data usage, as streaming can use more bandwidth than static images. Thus, it’s good to keep an eye on your data usage each time you view live video.

Remote Video Surveillance – Pros

More Features, Better Control - On a smartphone device, users typically rely on an app to access their IP camera system, whereas on a PC or Mac you can log into a web interface and/or cloud service, which tend to offer a much more comprehensive selection of features than an iPhone security camera app does. There are several advantages to using remote monitoring, such as being able to export video, continuous and scheduled recording, faster download times, and higher frames per second.

Higher Resolution, Larger Screen - You’re not going to get the same quality of video on a handheld device as you would on a PC, plain and simple. It can be more challenging to depict the video on a smartphone, and thus easier to miss something incredibly important because of the size of your screen. Depending on the app, one can digitally zoom on an image to see a close-up view.

Remote Video Surveillance – Cons

You Can’t Take a Computer Wherever You Go - Despite the many advantages of using a remote monitoring web browser interface over a smartphone, the fact is that you can’t lug around a computer everywhere, especially when you’re out and about, running errands, or relaxing in a park on your day off. This is where a smartphone becomes handy and convenient.

Browser Support - Some cloud services and VMS platforms do not support every browser, including Safari and Internet Explorer, which would make it incompatible with a Mac device. While there are some that do support Safari, it’s not offered by every IP camera and NVR manufacturer. Make sure to confirm compatibility with your desired computer platform and browser before purchasing a new IP camera system with video management software or a NVR.
