HDcctv is all about HDTV-quality video surveillance:
+ Broadcast industry compliant forensic evidence
+ Digitally transmitted full HD HDTV signals
+ Conventional CCTV cable lengths at over 100m
+ No packet loss or compression delays

HDcctv upgrades preserve sunk costs:
+ Plug-and-play resolution upgrade for regular CCTV
+ Also plug-and-play for IP-camera based systems

HDcctv is likely to become the next generation in the evolution of video surveillance technology!

The HDcctv Alliance is not “anti-IP”.

The Members of the Alliance recognize that surveillance systems will continue to rely on IP Video for integration beyond the premises.

We also believe that HDcctv systems are commercially superior to megapixel IP camera-based systems within the premises for most physical security applications.

An HDcctv camera presents 3 to 12 times more pixels per second than a normal CCTV camera, which data is back-hauled as appropriate.

By directly increasing demand for wide-area network capacity, the Members of the Alliance expect HDcctv to be welcomed by networking companies.

Surveillance-Grade Reliability: HDcctv does not break up the video into packets and then attempt to transmit the packets via an occasionally congested network.

Plug-and-Play Resolution Upgrade: Transition from D1 to HDTV is as easy as swapping one or two cameras from 380 HTVL to 520 HTVL while also upgrading the DVR from M-JPEG to H.264.

The UI You Trust: For the installer/operator, the only difference is HDcctv 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 D1 values.

True HDTV Live View: HDcctv does not compress or packetize the signal before transmission, so no compression image artifacts or frame interruptions are observed.

Real-Time Speed Dome Control: HDcctv systems do not employ any compression, including those forms that delay the signal by a noticeable period of time.
Therefore the HDcctv system operator experiences no delay between joystick commands and speed dome responses.

Best Possible Input Format for Analytics: HDcctv systems digitally deliver crisp, unadulterated video from cameras to DVR for the clearest possible analytics input.
