About the HDcctv Advantage
HDcctv offers several advantages for the end user, compared to alternative ways of achieving high resolution.
- Surveillance-Grade Reliability: Video is not broken up into packets and then transmitted via an occasionally congested network.
- Plug-and-Play Resolution Upgrade: Transition from CCTV to HDcctv is very easy; just upgrade the DVR and selected cameras.
- Familiar and Reliable User Interface: For the installer/operator, the only difference between HDcctv and CCTV is that the DVR recording configuration screens show higher values (1280 x 720 and/or 1920 x 1080) in the pull-downs for record resolution in addition to the conventional CCTV values.
- True HDTV Live View: HDcctv video signals are not compressed or packetized before transmission, so no compression image artifacts or frame interruptions are observed.
- Real-Time Speed Dome Control: HDcctv is compression-free, with none of the signal delays associated with compression. Therefore an HDcctv system operator experiences no delay between a joystick command and the corresponding speed dome (pan/tilt/zoom dome) response.
- Best Possible Input Format for Analytics: HDcctv systems digitally deliver crisp, unadulterated video from cameras to DVR for the clearest possible analytics input.
