  CCTV :Analogue v Digital
   
 


Analogue

Significant manual intervention

Expensive to maintain over time

Requires additional hardware such as switchers and multiplexers

Generally records at fixed frame rates on all cameras

Difficult and very time-consuming to retrieve video

Isolated system must be operated, configured & maintained manually on a site-by-site basis.

Recording is interrupted and video lost when tapes are changed, run out or break

Replacement tapes are often forgotten

Tapes require substantial storage space

Maintaining tape libraries is labour intensive

Video quality is reduced each time a tape is played

Poor quality video evidence is often not admitted in court.

When a VCR fails, there is no indication until someone checks it.


Digital

Cost effective to maintain (practically maintenance free)

Operates with powerful software.
Permits full flexibility for recording at variable frame rates

Retrieval time is instantaneous.

Ability to search multiple storage sites with a single query such as date/time or event.

Can be centrally operated, configured and maintained remotely

Networked system allows authorized users to access and share information from site to site.

Uninterrupted and automatic storage to disk with multi-tasking

One 160 GB disk stores the approximate equivalent of more than 30 video tapes.

High quality video images which do not degrade over time.

Easily managed from a central location as the system grows.

Our Ultra Long Range Thermal Night Vision Security Surveillance Camera thermal infrared security surveillance cameras are designed for long range surveillance in total darkness making them the ultimate product for night vision security and with a viewing range of up to 3600 meters are the ideal answer to the growing needs of increased security and homeland protection at a broad range of facilities including protection of infrastructure such as bridges, airports, seaports, subways, military facilities, nuclear power plants, perimeter security, as well as a variety of industrial and governmental facilities.

The very latest of our camera solutions are the Eclipse cameras which have no moving parts, and yet 360 degree surveillance The Eclipse captures a high-resolution 'fisheye' image and provides two completely independent analogue outputs, each of which can display any combination from full panoramic view to up to four virtual cameras (VCAMs), each with independently controllable 'electronic' Pan Tilt Zoom (ePTZ) functionality.

Intelligent 360º video processing enables advanced alarm functionality that includes the automatic assignment of virtual cameras for motion detection and alarm activation. Effective
subject tracking is provided with the active camera automatically tracking any movement within the cameras field of view.

Motion detection automatically triggers a VCAM while the camera continues to monitor the full panorama. When combined with relevant DVR, retrospective ePTZ of the full 360º scene and powerful search options become available, allowing fast review and interrogation of recorded images is possible.
