1 Ten Reasons to Buy a Network Camera OR WHAT YOUR ANALOG CAMERA VENDOR OR WHAT YOUR ANALOG CAMERA VENDOR WON T TELL YOU AND THE EXPERTS AT TRIAD SECURITY SYSTEMS WILL!

2 Triad Tidbit Focus This presentation will reveal 10 of the most important functional differences between analog and network/digital cameras

3 10 End to interlace problems Interlaced scan Each image formed from two interlace fields Blurriness from capturing moving objects, even when connected to a DVR Progressive scan Entire image captured at one time Crystal clear images even with a high degree of motion in the scene Benefits Superior image quality Full image details Precise, accurate information

4 10 End to interlace problems One complete frame using progressive scan

5 10 End to interlace problems Interlaced scan Progressive scan

6 9 Power over Ethernet Not available IEEE802.3af IEEE802.3at (Hi PoE) Industry standards Enables heating and cooling ONE cable for video data & power No need for power outlet at camera location Benefits Cost savings Reliability with centralized power backup Simple & cost-efficient installation

7 9 Power over Ethernet Both network cameras with and without built-in support for PoE can take advantage of a UPS device

8 8 Megapixel resolution & HDTV capabilities Stuck with NTSC/PAL resolution 0.4 Megapixel at 4CIF and 0.1 at CIF Limited image details Many resolutions, higher resolutions 1 megapixel el is 10x the resolution of CIF, 2 megapixel is 20x! Different aspect ratios Exceptional image quality Benefits More details, easier identification Digital PTZ, higher reliability and simultaneous pan/tilt

9 8 Megapixel resolution & HDTV capabilities CIF Megapixel

10 8 Megapixel resolution & HDTV capabilities Resolution comparisons Aspect ratios HDTV 1280 x 720 HDTV 1920 x 1080

11 8 Megapixel resolution & HDTV capabilities SMPTE HDTV standard guarantees: Resolution 1280x720 in 16:9 format, SMPTE 296M (720p) 1920x1080 in 16:9 format, SMPTE 274M (1080p/i) Full frame rate 25/30 and/or 50/60 fps Wider color spectrum than standard TV Better color representation ti Guaranteed resolution Full frame rate Wide screen format

12 7 Intelligence at the camera level Not available Intelligent Video Purpose-built, highly integrated hardware Automatic analysis, detection & alerts Initiates recording, alarms or other action Benefits More productive and effective means of surveillance Event-driven relieves burden from operators Scalable systems efficient monitoring of large systems Lower costs network stoarage & staff

13 7 Intelligence at the camera level examples Included Excluded d Included Excluded Door Hallway

14 7 Intelligence at the camera level examples Active Tampering Alarm Detects re-direction Detects blocking Detects covering and spray-painting Accidental or intentional disruption IP Network Camera Automatically alerts the operator when normal camera operation is disrupted

15 7 Intelligence at the camera level examples Auto-tracking, enables a camera to automatically follow moving object People counting, object counting License plate recognition Virtual lfence, line-crossing Audio detection Face recognition, gender recognition and much more to come

16 6 Integrated PTZ input/output control Cabling separate from the video signal Costly and cumbersome PTZ control over Integrated I/O PTZ commands the same network can trigger sent over the that t transports t anything and be IP network the video triggered by anything Benefits Less cabling, cost savings, increased functionality and integration potential

17 6 Integrated PTZ input/output control Example: Typical I/O use integration with alarm

18 5 Integrated audio Only possible with separate audio lines to the DVR Audio captured at the camera Synchronized with the video Can be integrated into the same video stream Two-way audio (duplex, half duplex, simplex) Benefits Many possibilities: simplex, half duplex, full duplex Synchronized audio and video Easy to install, cost savings

19 5 Integrated audio Entrance control Remote dialog and gate/door control Listen in on remote sounds Audio surveillance Provide audio feedback to surveillance scenes Audio can also be used to trigger recordings, alarms, etc. Example: Communicate and open a door remotely

20 4 Secure communication No encryption No authentication Anyone can tap into the video or replace the signal from a camera with another video signal Video encryption Authentication using encrypted certificates Authorization: to verify and approve the identity of the devce device Privacy Benefits Secure image capture & transmission Standardized authentication, IEEE802.1X Evidence trail secured

21 4 Secure communication Examples of achieving gprivacy VPN SSL/TLS (HTTPS)

22 3 Flexible, cost-effective infrastructure choices Expensive coax, proprietary fiber, wireless Distance affects image quality Adding power, I/O and audio further complicates this situation IP = established, standardized, interoperable. Fixed and wireless. Digital images = no quality reduction ONE cable for video data, audio, PTZ control and power. A single network wire = hundreds of simultaneous full frame rate video streams Benefits Image quality, flexibility, scalability, future-proof Resulting costs comparatively low Standardized fixed and wireless infrastructure

23 3 Flexible, cost-effective infrastructure choices Based on open IP standards Easy integration ti with available IP systems Utilization of standard IP components Fixed or wireless networks The IP way

24 2 True digital solution With every conversion image quality is lost: Analog signal digitized in camera s DSP Digital signal converted back to analog for transport over coax Signal once again digitized at the DVR for recording Images digitalized once Stay digital No unnecessary conversions No image degradation Benefits e Superior image quality

25 2 True digital solution

26 1 Lower total cost of ownership Independent study in 2008, based on real RFPs shows that: The total cost to acquire, install, and maintain a 40 camera system is 3.4% lower than an analog solution 32 cameras is the break-even, if no infrastructure is previously installed From cameras, the costs are similar Always lower total cost for an IP-based system if the infrastructure already exists Many non-quantifiable advantages for network video Flexibility, scalability, image quality, future-proof, etc.

27 1 Lower total cost of ownership COMPARE The cost per channel Flexibility and performance CONSIDER Back end applications and storage Industry standard, open-system based servers vs. proprietary hardware like a DVR Infrastructure used Can it be leveraged for other applications? Possibilities to integrate with other systems/applications

28 Conclusion The future belongs to network cameras and the future is already here!

29 The perfect time for network video is now Superior image quality Scalability and flexibility Easy, future-proof integration Built-in intelligence Remote accessibility Cost-effectiveness

30 The perfect time for network video is now Proven technology with large installations in areas such as: Retail Transportation Education City surveillance Banks Market reports 15-20% of all security cameras sold are digital cameras High annual growth rate predicted to average 35% next five years* *IMS Research, 2008
