Key benefits of IP video
Network-based systems offer scalability and long term value
Superior image quality
It's all about image quality. HD and advanced megapixel IP cameras deliver superior image quality leaving no detail missed. High resolution cameras also have a much greater field of view, reducing the number of cameras required on an installation, which reduces cost.
Intelligence increases effectiveness
Video analytics make cameras 'intelligent' and with that, more effective. Intelligent analytics include applications such as motion detection, spotting an object being removed, facial recognition, virtual tripwire detection, people or vehicle counting, automatic number plate recognition and auto-tracking, whereby a pan-tilt-zoom camera can follow a moving object.
With video analytics, a camera becomes a virtual 24/7 guard, able to raise the alarm and notify system users.
Flexibility through ease of installation
One-cable camera installation using Power-over-Ethernet, wireless technologies and the use of existing network infrastructure and computer hardware create a major pull for organisations to go IP.
With the additional advantages of reduced maintenance cost and easy system scalability the business case for IP video is undeniable.
See video from anywhere, any time
With network-based video systems there is virtually no limitation to where video can be captured or can be viewed. As long as the camera and the user have network connectivity, video from anywhere can be watched, anywhere.
650
In August 2009 we sold our 10,000th IP camera. A milestone we reached within 5 years from when we started.
Since then, our growth rate of camera sales has been accelerating to 650 cameras per month on average.
Our fast-paced growth is helped by the rapid technical advancements in network video. Technologies such as power-over-ethernet, HDTV and video analytics have pushed IP video surveillance through boundaries.
