Samsung SRD series.

Samsung has recently brought out their new SRD series of H.264 DVRs. Branded as the Techwin DVR, many of the new models have an HDMI output to upscale images to 1080p together with virtual progressive scan.

The SRD range has been developed to give installers a wide range of products to suit all budgets and offer many different variables of solutions. Existing static cameras can be easily upgraded to a PTZ dome camera as RS485 control can be sent over the existing coaxial cable and eliminates the need to run an additional twisted pair to effect camera control. A built in web server, dual codec operation and removable hard drives all gives the installer plenty of options when specifying for a multitude of scenarios.

CCTV analytics perimeter security solution. It WORKS!

CCTV video analytics.

Video analytics has been a technology that has been talked about for a long time but at last it has  now finally arrived in a format that works reliably and achieves the results that will make customers keen to upgrade their legacy CCTV systems.

CCTV Alarms.

Used to alert the end user of an unusual event or an intrusion into a protected area it helps to give security managers a better insight to events and alarms occurring on their site. There are many types of events that can be raised to his attention and these include.

People counting

Speed monitoring

Facial detection

Loitering

Perimeter protection

Fall detection

Queue length monitoring

Panic alarm

Object abandonment.

And more to boot.

Advanced CCTV software.

Video analytics works by using advanced software to detect in real time changes within the view of the camera, far more advanced than motion detection, all analogue cameras currently in use in the UK can be converted to use this technology. It’s a simple process just install a unit called a codec. The codec is attached to the camera and behind the scenes converts all the video into a format that analyses events and through a set of clean contacts an alarm can be raised in a variety of different ways.

IP CCTV codec.

The codec is an IP device and is programmed through a laptop or if connected to a network it can be remotely administered. Xtralis, Bosch and March Networks all produce units that excel in video analytics.

CCTV Airport!

Examples of where analytics can be used to great effect include ports and airports combating threats of terrorism especially identifying abandoned objects, Protecting classic art using analytics means museums can also benefit from this feature.

CCTV perimeter protection.

Perimeter protection is another area that has seen far better security thanks to trip wire features and the ability to detect movement in a certain direction. Integrating analytics with FLIR thermal imaging cameras is an excellent example of how a sensitive area during hours of total darkness can suddenly be secured where before this would have been impossible.

Codecs.

Setting up the codec’s is a relatively simple task. Perspective is important to ensure only the objects or human movements are detected and things such as wildlife are totally ignored. A great advance for the industry analytics are now being incorporated directly into the heads of cameras and the Predator camera from 360 vision is the first 360 dome camera that can deal with analytics while on a tour something of a dream for security guards who are tasked with monitoring large establishments or estates.

CCTV investment.

As the investment goes heavily into this technology from the big manufactures we see the number of applications increasing and soon analytics will be commonplace in many businesses across the UK

Backbone CCTV

Backbone security solutions provided by Backbone computer technology in Beijing China have their foundations in the research of video compression techniques, first developed as long ago as 1999.

Success.

Encouraged by their success, a year later they produced their first DVR range.This of course incorporated their their newly produced compression format and the collection of DVRs were called IDRS-2000 series. To compliment the DVRs and boost further sales they then designed and manufactured the SANNO camera range.

A brief history of their past leads us to their latest product. The IDRS 6000HC is now using H.264 and NVMS CCTV software. Complimented by many features it has plenty to offer.

The IDRS and Bernee brands form the basis of the Backbone product range which is supplied now worldwide and Backbone claim to produce very high quality products at a very competitive price. The collection of IP cameras and DVRs on offer certainly warrant a visit to their website.
