HDcctv Alliance

Q. There has been a steady migration from analog to digital IP, even during the recent recession. How has this affected the management of your products?

A. The intensity of the migration from analog to IP varies depending upon your geographic location and the industries you service. At Speco Technologies, we do not see anything resembling a steady migration. It is a more cautious, gradual shift and only done when and where it makes economic sense.

Q. What does HDcctv mean to Speco and to many others looking at security systems?

A. HDcctv will have a major impact upon the industry in the near future. It is the bridge between analog and megapixel IP cameras. In many cases, it will allow existing analog systems to be upgraded to megapixel resolution using existing cables and connectors. It also will allow analog installers to compete against their network-savvy counterparts in many situations. Speco Technologies has joined the HDcctv Alliance and believe that this technology will co-exist with analog and IP cameras for many years to come.
