IP video surveillance
equipment has become the preferred
solution for new surveillance
installations as well as upgrades to
legacy CCTV systems. Whether for
protection of assets, personnel or
monitoring the operations of a
manufacturing facility, intelligent
IP-based video surveillance provides
features and capabilities well beyond
traditional analog camera systems.
With the development of
megapixel video cameras, image quality
and resolution has taken a major leap
forward that allows for fewer cameras
capturing more information that can be
analyzed in more detail than was ever
available from analog systems. Features
such as electronic pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ)
replace the need for expensive
mechanically driven PTZ cameras of the
past. Instead of scanning an area with
an analog camera, a multi-lens megapixel
camera can capture the entire 180 or 360
degree panorama dramatically increasing
the surveillance data for live view or
after-the-fact analysis.
As with any technology,
the design, installation and
configuration of the IP video network is
critical to its performance and
reliability. All aspects of the system
from camera resolution to lens selection
as well as storage systems and software
must be designed to provide the best
possible solution for the user. ACT’s
technical staff works with each customer
from design to implementation and
on-going support to provide a cost
effective, single source solution.
Superior Image
Quality
Superior image quality
enables the user to more closely follow
details and changes in images, making
for better and faster decisions to
safeguard people and property. Facial
recognition or the ability to read
license plate numbers from greater
distances is providing users with
significantly improved analysis
capabilities. Archived megapixel images
can be electronically zoomed to reveal
detail that would be lost in traditional
analog video.
Easy
Future-Proof Integration
Network video systems
can be integrated with a multitude
of applications such as: access
control, building management, POS
systems, ATMs as well as fire,
intruder and visitor management.
Easy integration with other
IP-based building services provides
long-term investment protection.

Remote
Accessibility
With network videos,
users can access real-time video at any
time from an authorized computer
anywhere. It lends itself to provide an
easy way to capture and distribute the
highest quality video over the internet
or your IP network. Multiple locations
can be monitored from a single point
reducing the need for both personnel and
hardware.
Cost
Effectiveness
Using standard PC server
hardware rather than proprietary
equipment reduces management and
equipment costs. In many system
configurations, the upfront cost for a
surveillance system based on network
video products is lower. High resolution
megapixel cameras can provide greater
surveillance coverage with fewer cameras
than traditional analog solutions
actually lowering the initial
installation cost.
