Things you Should Consider on Migration to IP

1- Cost of IP technology deployment
2- IP technology as part of the system
3- Scalability, robustness, ease of
use
4- Quality through resolution
5- Real world deployment of hi-res
cameras

The cost in terms of video quality
Past – Present – Future
• The great disadvantage of first generation IP cameras, namely the lack of quality, has been completely removed for some time
• The growth rate of IP cameras is exponential. The quality of entry level IP cameras is already far superior to that of analogue
•5
The cost in terms of system update
• There are requirements to fulfil:
• Bandwidth & Gigabit infrastructure
• The security of the company IT network becomes a central issue
• It is advisable to have a dedicated video surveillance network
• Analogue visualisation systems are not compatible with the new technologies

Cost of IP devices: a disadvantage?
• Small systems are still expensive
• IP technology provides cost
effective solutions to systems
based on 16 cameras or above
• Structured cabling guarentees
huge money savings

Distribution of processing load
The edge devices are in charge of
• Digitalization
• Compression
• Analysis
3 - Scalability, robustness, ease of use

• IP systems are smarter, easier to install and maintain,
scalable and flexible
• IP systems allow the installer to decentralize the system
by deploying edge devices
• The number of IP cameras deployed does not affect the
overall system complexity
Scalability

Robustness
• Edge devices reduce the risks to the video surveillance system
• The distributed architecture avoids the risk connected with a
single point of failure
• IP Redundancy is easier to achieve
• No need for expensive centralised servers (compression and
analytics run on edge devices, the recorder can focus on
storage)
3 - Scalability, robustness, ease of use

4 – Quality Through Resolution
1.Resolution means information
2.Post event reconstruction is greatly enhanced by higher
resolutions
3.High resolution video is made available by today’s compression
techniques

WASTE OF
STORAGE

HUGE
BANDWIDTH
Bandwidth and storage requirements make the use
of standard Megapixel cameras not feasible or extremely expensive
5- Real world deployment of hi-res cameras
OPTIMIZATION

LOW
BANDWIDTH
MPEG4/H.264 algorithms on hi-res video provide huge
savings in bandwidth and storage requirements
5- Real world deployment of hi-res cameras

Driving factors for changing
• Market growth for traditional and IP markets (in
%)
• Analog - Digital market share (in %)
