CCTV Canada review.

Integrated CCTV recently had the opportunity to interview Rick Ramsey the product manager for Avigilon. Avigilon’s appearance at IFSEC last year, the UK’s number 1 CCTV exhibition raised their profile dramatically. We asked Rick about Avigilon and their thoughts and ideas for the future. Rick was also able to give us some great insight into the CCTV products that Avigilon produce. The quality of the Megapixel and HD camera available is exceptional and the 16 megapixel camera is unique in the market place.

Avigilon ACC-4.6 Range


The WJ-ND400 is a network video recorder that  will allow up to 64 IP cameras to be connected to the unit. In addition Panasonic’s WJ-ND400 will allow both images and audio to be  recorded at the same time giving a high level of flexibility. As standard Panasonic have equipped the WJ-ND400 with 8 HDD slots. This allows expansion from the standard 500gig hard drive that comes out of the factory. In fact, in total the WJ-ND400 can be expanded up to an impressive 27TB,  ideal for large scale IP installations making it a real candidate for consideration when installing large data generating megapixel IP camera systems. A hot swap facility means that harddrives can be replaced without any interruption in the recording process.

panasonic WJ-ND400

The WJ-ND400 is oozing with features and benefits such as filtered searches, FTP transfer, alarm recording and e-mail notification to name but a few. Avanced search facilities mean movement within specified areas can be searched on as well as time and date and event searches. The WJ-ND400 is primarily an H.264 recorder but can accommodate MPEG-4 and JPEG.

Two NICs mean the recorder allows the client network to be separated from the camera network. This clever idea means the camera network performance is not affected by users monitoring the system. This is also an additional security measure. Cameras placed within a separate network means access can only be obtained through the NVR.

i-Pro network cameras are auto-sensed  by the WJ-ND400, meaning their IP addresses are easily detected. This really helps the engineer save time in setting up and configuring a large IP surveillance system.

The new Panasonic WJ-ND400 is a great example of an NVR that boasts both usability and reliability and caters for both users and engineers when looking at large scale IP CCTV surveillance systems.

 

Avigilon and VideoIQ unite

Avigilon logo

VideoIQ, a company we have been following closely recently have announced they are now fully integrating their cameras with Avigilon’s Control Center 4.6 Network Video Management Software (NVMS). This new partnership allows both video IQ and Avigilon customers to upgrade their Avigilon surveillance systems with VideoIQ’s award winning adaptive analytics that are integrated into the iCVR-HD camera range; this includes the iCVR dome cameras, iCVR encoders, and iCST line of streaming cameras and encoders.

So it seems that these two companies have found a way to up their market share and Avigilon and VideoIQ must be considered when specifying cameras here in the UK.

 

ONVIF compliant products.

onvif

ONVIF recently held its latest developer meeting at Canon’s headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. Engineers gathered from all over the world and represented a total of 26 companies. Their mission was to test and confirm the interoperability of each of their CCTV and IP systems with the ONVIF specifications agreed at earlier confrences. As we know the aim of ONVIF’s is to ensure that end-users can select from ONVIF compatable suppliers with varients of different products and integrate them together seamlessly onto their networks.

Over 300 hours of testing during the two and half days saw 19 IP cameras and 13 video management systems put through their paces. The results were exceedingly encouraging and is further proof that ONVIF compliancy is the way forward for manufacturers in order to ensure their place amongst the elite. It is another step towards the ONVIF specification being the CCTV industry chosen method of standardization.

Below we list those companies who have adopted the ONVIF standard for ease of use when selecting products to integrate together when designing an IP CCTV system.

What does the standard do?

Well essentially it looks at the network interface , specifically the network layer and looks to ensure all products conform in the following areas:

Real time viewing

Device discovery

Device management

Media config

Event handling

PTZ control

Security

Video analytics

IP configuration

Future proof.

The standard allows flexibility and does not prevent innovation and of course should a manufacturer who uses ONVIF compliant equipment go out of business then there are plenty of others there to pick up the pieces and most importantly the end user is not left with a system no one else can integrate IP CCTV equipment into.

When.

The first product that conformed to ONVIF was released in August 2009 and by the time IFSEC 2010 arrives there will be over 70 products from 10 manufactures to check out.

Three founder members Bosch AXIS  Sony

The 3 founder members were Bosch AXIS and Sony since then more have joined including:

Cannon

IDIS

IndigoVision

Panasonic

March Networks

Samsung

Siemiens

Texas Instruments

Hik Vison

Cisco

Dahua

There are many others now contributing to this standard.

So onwards and upwards for ONVIF but would CCTV insider agree?
