H264. Not seeing it.

[CCTV Blog Admin]

Let me tell ya. I have 9 DVRs I have been testing out, all of which are H264. No one solution is finished or perfect. Slow remote, streaking video, interlace issues, frame skipping. WOW. Some Mpeg4 DVRs blow these units out of the water. No doubt there are some positives but so far no one solution has it all.

A discussion on transmission by cable (coaxial.cat5/IP/wifi/bluetooth/etc) is more suited to another topic, and should we expand the discussion to the benefits of the various cabling and signal distribution topologies and methodologies, that might be better suited to another discussion

Vasu, I don't see any sense in going on with the discussion. I will tell you this --- for high security application like airport, statewide surveillance, education, casino----- there is a real need for 30fps Megappixel. Analog CCTV is going to provide this solution, and it will do it at half the price of Megapixel IP. Time alone will tell...but I will ask you to have a look at your television in the sitting room, it is the grandfather of CCTV, and now look at what is happening - look at youtube, look at US television --- HDTV, the television in your sitting room is the key to the future of Megapixel CCTV at 30fps, with no latency, pure video signla platform for analytics, not network congestion, and more..................

eh That was the use of IP I am only going till wireless now... may I had not talked you about satellite connection with IP and I think even you are not fimiliar with that...

[Brandon Joubert]

Oh Ok, now we are onto wireless !! Ok Ok....

[Vasu Garg]

No, You still not understanding,.. I am trying to tell you and IP is far better then analog in way of manangement, even in ananlog we have to carry out with wiring and even if a wie cut system get deads whereas on other hand in IP we can have a option of High range Ip wireless which can gi over 50 KM and just takes 30 Min. to install and even a 10 KM site or analog take 6 months to complete
Benifits of ip: -
Reliable, free from humna errors, easy to install, can cover campus of even 1000's of KM with the help of wireless, can have high users, no extra wiring requiried for users as everywhere now everbody is having a lan connection we just have to plug it and many more.... Brandon don't bring your ego in front think twice before writing again .

Look at people like Fibridge, I am not saying these are the best solutions in all cases -- I am saying they have their place, as analog has it's place, as hybrid has it's place, as Ip has it's place and as Analytics have a place.

We cannot just say - go hybrid! Ip is not a solution everywhere, and is not always the best solution for large installations, depending on the extent of distance involved. The argument is getting narrower and narrower --- from a sweeping statement about go hybrid, to refinign it down to more than 50 cameras, to wide area accessibility and so each response will take us to the one case scenario where IP may be better, and I will concede IP is better. But the reality is that "Go Hybrid" is too sweeping a statement, IP is best over 50 cameras is too sweeping a statement, Analytics can only be achieved with IP, is too sweeping a statement.......Let the surveillance objective define the Media and Equipment, let's not try to get our equipment and preferences to define the surveillance objective.

In response to my question as to what you view as the driver behind IP, you have mentioned two facts - network accessibility and video analytics and suggest these cannot be achieved with analog systems. Am i understanding your response correctly?

Read up on Object Video - 33% global market share for analytics and a world leader, check who they are partnering with. Video Analytics is a technology - best achieved in mission critical application through customization. IP is a transmission medium, Analog is a transmission-- you surely don't mean to imply that Without IP, Analytics is impossible??

1). I am talking about 1 lac not 20 ! In A huge full state surveillance a remote monitoring of 90000 to 1 lac users is required.
2). how you perform video analytics like smoke/fire detction, baggage left, illegal parking with ana analog system ?

Neraly every DVR I have seen has individually configured user access rights!
