NetSecure IP Surveillance Solutions
Superior Design and Quality
Today more than ever protection of persons and property is of high importance to all businesses. Also monitoring your business systems for productivity, marketing, and other needs make an IP based surveillance system a logical tool.
Power
Powering an analog camera can be costly and difficult. Coaxial cable must be installed to transport the video, then power cabling must be fed to each camera. IP cameras can be run from a Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard, which means cameras can be run over the same cable that transmits data and power.
UPS Integration
An additional advantage of using PoE enabled cameras and LAN Switches, that is often overlooked, is the fact that protection against power loss can be implemented much more cost effectively and simply than for analog CCTV. Traditional analog CCTV cameras require power at each location, thus providing backup power for each camera can often be very expensive. However an IP camera system using PoE, power is injected centrally at the network switch, thus one or two UPS¹s supplying that switch automatically provide backup power to all the cameras. Often it may be the same UPS already in place for the PC and servers.
Interlacing
Analog technology has a significant problem with interlacing, causing moving objects to blur. An IP camera can progressively scan moving objects more clearly. There are no separate interlaced lines, so this method provides a much clearer image.
Intelligence
IP video technology allows the cameras to have a much higher range of 'built in' features. For example, cameras can be programmed to only record on movement, vastly reducing network load. Other features include sun and backlight compensation, dual lenses technology, internal digital storage, audio and SIP telephony.
Scalability
IP video technology provides scalability for future expansion to many buildings one camera at a time and all pulled back to a central server. You only have the cost of an additional camera. An analog system requires a separate camera and server at each location.
Resolution
Analog cameras cannot provide resolution above television standards, which corresponds to 0.4 mega-pixels at 4CIF. Many analog systems run at a much lower resolution due to technical and cost restrictions, operating at 0.01 mega pixels. Network video technology can provide a resolution up to 15 times the quality of analog video! The latest cameras now can process video up to 3 Mbp/s.
Milestone Software Features
