Digital Watchdog Acquires Award Winning Innovative Security Designs IP-Camera Manufacturer
The NVRPRO Network Video Recorders from Genie CCTV come with Dual Network Cards which enable connection to different network segments. This maximises network efficiency and improves CCTV security the makers say. The Dual IP Application allows users to communicate between remote WAN access and the IP video system without compromise to the separated recording networks bandwidth. It also reduces susceptibility of unauthorised access to the recorder and the IP cameras. Besides the security and data protection, Genie says its product makes the management of video much easier and more flexible. A range of WAN IP addresses can be stored into the product management set up programme which only allows authorised security managers and users to access the system. Within the LAN IP Management System only administered LAN IP addresses can access video, meaning that non-registered LAN computer users cannot interfere with the system. Having a video network dedicated to one of the LAN ports on the recorder alleviates network bandwidth requirements, the manufacturers add, as only the IP cameras reside on this private ‘video network connection’. This means authorised WAN/ Intranet/Internet users do not ‘load traffic’ within the video surveillance network. Web: www.geniecctv.com
Exacq Technologies Networked Storage Servers Offer Unified Video Management
By Brianna Crandall , February 28, 2014— Exacq Technologies , part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco, a global manufacturer of video management system (VMS) software and servers used for video surveillance, has released a new line of networked video storage servers. The new S-Series Enterprise line of networked video storage servers allows users to add extended storage and archived storage to any exacqVision server running the exacqVision Professional or Enterprise Video Management System (VMS) software. This single user interface reduces the complexity and cost of integrating disparate solutions, and gives facilities managers and security professionals one unified VMS solution to administer and monitor the storage and recorders. In addition, S-Series Enterprise servers can be used to archive video from exacqVision Edge Internet protocol (IP) cameras. exacqVision Edge is a full-featured video management system (VMS) that runs directly on compatible IP cameras. By using the S-Series to archive video and audio, users can optimize their network load with scheduled archiving, says Exacq Technologies. The S-Series Enterprise includes flexible, user-defined archiving rules to store critical video and audio longer. Additionally, the S-Series allows users to consolidate video archives from multiple exacqVision recorders to one or more S-Series devices. Users can also reportedly extend their exacqVision storage without the need for an additional recorder. The S-Series Enterprise is expandable to 80 terabytes on enterprise-class hard drives utilizing RAID 5 or 6 for maximum hard drive reliability, adds the company. The S-Series Enterprise servers also include redundant power supplies to significantly […]

VIVOTEK Surveillance Cameras Enable Library Safety For Students At National Chi Nan University In Taiwan
Published on 28 February, 2014 : IP cameras decrease the possibility of disputes and provide information on the number of books returned or borrowed from the library VIVOTEK’s IP surveillance system enables staff to monitor all areas of the library effectively Upholding the security for 6,500 students and staff National Chi Nan University (NCNU), an international university located in Nantou, Taiwan, offers a scenic learning and research environment to more than 6,000 students and a faculty and staff team of over 500 people. The 21 institutes and departments at NCNU offer 29 Bachelor’s, 52 Master’s and 18 Ph.D. programs covering the fields of liberal arts, sciences, engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, education, management, and social sciences. The NCNU library, a well-equipped building with six floors, offers quiet and comfortable spaces for students and staff members to study and work between 8:00 am and 9:00 pm. As a knowledge hub, the library receives numerous students and scholars on a daily basis. The large number of readers and visitors causes tremendous pressure to the administrative team, which is responsible for ensuring a safe and convenient environment for its users. The previous security system installed in the library was an analogue CCTV system based on conventional analogue digital video recorders. In such systems, point-to-point transmission is limited between cameras and video players or recorders. Consequently, centralized image management was difficult to achieve. Additionally, the image definition yielded by analogue cameras is unsatisfactory. Therefore, NCNU management decided to replace the analogue system […]

H.265 Compression Set To Make A Mark On IP Video Surveillance
H.265/HEVC could enable IP cameras with even larger megapixel counts The emergence last year of a new format for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is poised to have a huge impact on IP video surveillance cameras over the next few years. Among the benefits of the new H.265/HEVC coding format over the legacy H.264/MPEG-4 is a 40 percent or more bit rate reduction at the same visual quality. Therefore, a camera could provide either better visual quality than H.264 with existing network and storage requirements, or it could provide the same visual quality with 40 percent less network and storage needs. H.265/HEVC could enable IP cameras with even larger megapixel counts – 20 megapixel cameras, for example – to operate more efficiently without overwhelming network infrastructures. H.265/HEVC also brings improvements in noise levels, colour spaces and, most importantly for surveillance, an enhanced dynamic range. H.265 implementation inevitable but some years away Implementation of the new standard in most IP video cameras, however, is still years away. As with other video standards, the security market inherits the H.265/HEVC format from the much larger consumer electronics market. Typically, after standards are developed, it takes several years for their use to make its way into various markets, starting with the consumer video market and later into security and other smaller markets. Currently, the leading video coding format is H.264/MPEG-4, which was initially developed in 1999 and has only recently become the de facto standard in the security/surveillance market, more than a decade […]
