Many ITS and video surveillance systems are now migrating to High Definition (HD), something which has traditionally required high-resolution IP cameras and a complete system architecture overhaul. 7084 Euresys now provides a less expensive and seamless upgrade path with the Picolo.net HD4.
“This allows users to connect four HD-SDI/HDcctv cameras through at least 100m of coaxial cable to a video surveillance IP network. It’s easy to integrate into video surveillance systems as it features an ONVIF Profile S-compliant IP interface, which provides interoperability with major video management software solutions,” says Marc Damhaut, Euresys’s CEO.
HD video provides six times more pixels than standard-definition PAL/NTSC analogue CCTV. Translated to a larger viewing area, that potentially reduces the number of cameras required per installation. HD video also provides sharper images, vastly improving of video analytics or forensic applications performance.
HD-SDI/HDcctv delivers high-quality, uncompressed HD digital video over standard RG-59 coaxial cables at a length of 100m or more. HD-SDI has proven itself in broadcast television over several years. Thanks to the HDcctv Alliance and the Picolo.net HD4, it is now making its way into video surveillance.
“HD-SDI/HDcctv is as easy to install and maintain as analogue CCTV systems. It uses the same coaxial cables as analogue for new or existing installations. HD-SDI/HDcctv-compliant cameras are an alternative to IP cameras for those looking to achieve higher resolution than conventional analogue cameras. With HD-SDI/HDcctv, system integrators and installers no longer need to extend IP Ethernet cabling to every camera in order to deliver the benefits of HD video. Existing coaxial cables can be re-used, considerably reducing installation and maintenance costs,” Damhaut continues.
“HD-SDI/HDcctv has the added benefit of sending live uncompressed video to other devices, such as monitors, without latency. For outdoor applications where IP cameras are a security risk, HD-SDI/HDcctv offers a secure solution: HD-SDI cameras can be used outside the facility while inside being connected to the IP network or to the internet using the Picolo.net HD4.”
