Fear Factor And IP-Based Megapixel Video
The market’s long-established dependence upon analogue systems has added to a view that switching is just too difficult says Paul Taggar, pictured, Country Manager, UK and Ireland, at Arecont Vision. Misconceptions can be one of the biggest ‘fear factors’ to systems integrators and users when it comes to the application of IP-based video systems and […]
CCTV IP VS Analog: The Difference Is Clear
There is often resistance when it comes to IP surveillance, especially when you are considering the choice between IP and traditional, or analog CCTV. This is usually down to issues of complexity, and, of course, price. But, here’s a hint for those reluctant to adopt the newer IP technology – if you get left behind, […]

Small Chain Finds Success Upgrading To IP At Own Pace
LYNCHBURG, Va.—Family-owned and operated Quik-e Foods, based here, recently installed an IP camera in the rear of one of its 12 convenience stores. “The camera actually paid for itself on Day 2,” Quik-e Vice President Todd Burgess told Security Director News . The March Networks camera captured images of an employee stealing cigarettes by taking them out in trash bags through the back door. Quik-e, which also operates five automated car washes and a laundromat within about a 40-mile radius of Lynchburg, is a longtime March Networks end user, working with certified reseller and installer Integrated Technology Group. The chain gradually has been upgrading its March Networks NVRs to the next-gen 8000 Series Hybrid NVRs. The product is allowing Quik-e to move from analog cameras to IP cameras at its own pace as finances allow. Quik-e also plans to soon deploy March’s Searchlight for Retail video analytics software. The recent upgrade at Quik-e sites is “feature-rich,” Burgess said. “Our storage capacity has quadrupled. Where before I had systems that would only hold [images] for 30 days, I now can get up to three months. And it’s all user driven.” The ROI Burgess experienced is not unique, March Networks project manager Ali Mahmoud told Security Director News . Customers can use the system for 10 minutes each morning and capture $5,000 in thefts each week, he said. “The ROI is pretty quick,” and the fact that it’s hybrid so users don’t have to rip out old equipment is another plus, […]

Head In The Clouds Or Feet On The Ground? Cloudview Launches Video IP Cloud Device
By Tom Reeve on March 5, 2014 The developers behind Jabbakam, the cloud-based online video surveillance and security system, have redeveloped and re-launched the product as a corporate-grade surveillance solution under the name Cloudview. I sat down with Cloudview founder James Wickes recently to find out why he thinks his solution will revolutionise the corporate security market. Jabbakam was developed in 2010 as a video management system to allow people to record CCTV surveillance video to an internet server and view the footage online. It also allows users to network IP cameras together and share the footage either privately or with a wider audience. The Jabbakam VMS works with its own brand cameras or a selected range of IP cameras from companies such as Y-Cam and Axis. Despite being designed primarily for the domestic market, Jabbakam attracted a great deal of interest from the corporate market, Wickes said. “On the basis of that, we developed Cloudview and changed the company name.” With Cloudview, the product is first and foremost an analogue camera solution. Using a Cloudview video network adapter (VNA), users can stream analogue cameras to the cloud storage system using automatic event triggers or manual activation. The VNA includes a built-in video encoder, SD card slot for local storage and network adapter as well as a USB slot for plugging in a wireless network adapter or 3G wifi device. Simples Wickes said that Jabbakam had taught him the importance of keeping things simple. “The key challenges highlighted through […]

The Size Of South Africa’s Network Video Surveillance Equipment Market Surpasses Analog
Condividi According to Josh Woodhouse , Video Surveillance Analyst at IHS “The size of South Africa’s network video surveillance equipment market surpassed the analogue market for the first time in 2012” . With a video surveillance equipment market size of approximately $90 million South Africa is the largest country level market in Africa and amongst the most technologically mature. The data from IHS’ recently published report on the African market for video surveillance equipment shows that in 2012 the transition from analogue to network equipment passed a milestone: for the first time, revenues from network equipment surpassed those from analogue. The market transition will continue with an increasing proportion of future revenues coming from network equipment. However, due to a combination of low economic growth, a weakening Rand and on-going labour disputes in key vertical markets for video surveillance, we remain conservative about the current growth prospects for the video surveillance market in South Africa. Single digit growth is forecast for 2013 and 2014. Not the end of analogue There remains a high installed base of analogue equipment in South Africa. Analogue equipment still accounts for the majority of unit shipments and, unlike other regional markets in Europe or North America, shipments are forecast to grow. In certain vertical markets analogue equipment is likely to remain the technology of choice. The residential sector is one such example: analogue equipment offers a low-cost, easy-to-install solution and each year a high number of cameras are installed by small security professionals covering […]
