MegaPixel IP SurveillanceVideo Explained

by Exacq-VideoSurveillance.com

Resolution

• MegaPixel Technology allows for detail that was once un-imaginable

VGA Analog vs MegaPixel

• A (1) one Megapixel Surveillance Camera has the resolution of 4 VGA quality Cameras and up to 8 CIF Analog Cameras

Camera Inputs and Outputs• Focus and Focal length adjustments are the key to

clear video• Built in microphones, 2 way audio and I/O ports

are additional benefits

Pixels Per Foot Calculations• Axis Camera Configuration tools provide accurate px/ft

calculations• 160 px/ft is a European Standard admissible in court for

identifying a face.

Edge Storage

• Edge Storage enabled security cameras allow memory cards to store recorded video.

• ExacqVision offers management solutions to optimize recorded video with minimal storage

• Some video recording tools include: recording on motion, triggers, video masks, scheduling, frames per second, resolution, multi-streaming and virtual cameras.

Security Gate Example for Edge Storage

• Security Gates do not normally have internet access and Edge storage provides a way to record the video on a SD Card

• The 32GB SD card will write over itself within a set number of days.

• Below are 2 scenarios, one camera is set to record for 14 days on 32GB Memory Card. The second camera will write over itself every 7 Days. The difference is the Frames Per Second, % of motion and the resolution.

Popular MegaPixel Cameras

• Axis M-1054 & Axis P-1344

20 MegaPixel 180 Degree Camera

• Potentially replaces 5-10 analog cameras

Video Encoders

• Take advantage of analog infrastructure already installed and covert them to IP with a video encoder

Management Software

Fixed Dome & PTZ Surveillance Cameras

• Axis Communications Product line has a camera for every situation

PTZ

Wireless

• Wireless IP Cameras are just beginning to come in 1 MegaPixel and above resolution

• H.264 video compression allows for high definition video to be streamed a wireless router

Network Video Recorder• A NVR is a IP Camera storage device with a set amount of Hard

Drive Space• Depending on the amount of cameras being recorded, Frame Rates,

amount of motion, and resolution a NVR is built to accommodate any number of Days of recorded video.
