Why IP Video Surveillance?

• • • • • • Centralized ownership of the complete video surveillance system Remote accessibility Easy, future-proof integration Scalability and flexibility Cost-effectiveness No external power required

IP Video Technical Benefits

• • • • • • • Higher resolution Higher frame rate Progressive scan No image degeneration Integrated audio Power over Ethernet Wireless

IP Cameras and Network Servers • • • •

Common functions

Connect directly to Ethernet networks Have their own IP address Include a web server, PC independent HTML user interface, ordinary web browser

11 Reasons to Choose IP over analog 11 of the most important functional differences between analog and network cameras

End to interlace problems

1

1. End to interlace problems

 Interlaced scan  Each image formed from two interlace fields  Blurriness from capturing moving objects, even when connected to a DVR  Progressive scan  Entire image captured at one time  Crystal clear images even with a high degree of motion in the scene • • •

BENEFITS Superior image quality Full image details Precise, accurate information

2. Power over Ethernet

 Not available  IEEE802.3af

 Industry standard  No need for power outlet at camera location • • •

BENEFITS Cost savings Reliability with centralized power backup Simple installation

2. Power over Ethernet Both network cameras with and without built-in support for PoE can take advantage of a UPS device

Megapixel resolution

3. Megapixel resolution

 Stuck with NTSC/PAL resolution  0.4 Megapixel at 4CIF and 0.1 at CIF  Limited image details  Many resolutions  1 Megapixel is 10x the resolution of CIF, 2 Megapixel is 20x!

 Different aspect ratios  Digital PTZ • •

BENEFITS More details, easy identification Digital PTZ, higher reliability and simultaneous pan/tilt

Integrated PTZ input/output control

5

5. Integrated PTZ and I/O control

 Cabling separate from the video signal  Costly and cumbersome  PTZ control over the same network that transports the video  PTZ commands sent over the IP network  Integrated I/O can • Trigger anything • Can be triggered by anything •

BENEFITS Less cabling, cost savings, increased functionality and integration potential

5. Integrated PTZ and I/O control Example: Typical I/O use – Integration with alarm

Integrated audio

6

6. Integrated audio

 Only possible with separate audio lines to the DVR  Audio captured at the camera  Synchronized with the video  Can be integrated into the same video stream  2-way audio (Duplex, Half Duplex, Simplex) • • • •

BENEFITS Many possibilities: Simplex, half duplex, full duplex Synchronized audio and video Easy to install Cost savings

6. Integrated audio

(Wired/Wireless)

Example: Communicate and open a door remotely

 Entrance control Remote dialogue and gate/door control  Listen in on remote sounds Audio surveillance  Provide audio feedback to surveillance scenes

Secure communication

7

7. Secure communication

 No encryption  No authentication  Anyone can tap into the video or replace the signal from a camera with another video signal  Video encryption  Authentication using encrypted certificates  Authorization: to verify and approve the identity of the device  Privacy • • •

BENEFITS Secure image capture Secure transmission Evidence trail secured

7. Secure communication

 Examples of achieving privacy VPN SSL/TLS (HTTPS)

Flexible, cost-effective infrastructure choices

8

8. Flexible, cost-effective infrastructure

 Expensive coax, proprietary fiber, wireless  Distance affects image quality  Adding power, I/O and audio further complicates this situation  IP = established, standardized, interoperable  Digital images = no quality reduction  Many streams transmitted over the same line  A single network wire = hundreds of simultaneous full frame rate video streams • •

BENEFITS Image quality, flexibility, scalability, future-proof Resulting costs comparatively low

True digital solution

9

9. True digital solution

 With every conversion image quality is lost: • Analog signal digitized in camera’s DSP • • Digital signal converted back to analog for transport over coax Signal once again digitized at the DVR for recording  Images digitized once  Stay digital  No unnecessary conversions  No image degradation •

BENEFITS Superior image quality

9. True digital solution

Video Analytics

10

10. Video Analytics

 What is Video Analytics?

• • Converting video into data Reducing the need for human monitoring  Applications • • Tailgating Grouping/Crowd Detection • • • Loitering Suspicious objects Entering prohibited doors  Benefits • • Issue alerts to guards Monitor thousands of cameras

Lower total cost of ownership

IP Solution

 Infrastructure leveraged  Scalable and future proof  Fewer cameras required

Analog Solution

 DVRs have limited number of inputs  More cameras required  Higher installation costs

IP Video Surveillance Conclusion The future belongs to network cameras
