HDoC and Hybrid: Get Hidden ROI
Posted by Mark Espenschied on Dec 05, 2018 in Technology, Thought Leadership
| If your video surveillance system is a few years old, chances are that it is an analog system running over an infrastructure of coaxial cables. | |
| Even though it has become a generic term, what you have is truly CCTV. | |
| You may look around and think two things: 1. I wish my cameras had more resolution. 2. Maybe I should get an IP video surveillance system. |
|
| Your investment in a video surveillance system is a significant cost. It could be that you spent as much for the coaxial cables as you did for the recorder and cameras (or more). | |
| Wouldn’t it be great to discover hidden ROI in your system? | |
| You can. And it might be easier than your think. | |
| Video Quality | |
| Today, you have the option for HD video over coax (HD over Coax™) — up to 5MP resolution and higher is coming. HDoC™ cameras and recorders take advantage of your existing coaxial cable infrastructure by adding high resolution cameras and swapping your recorder for a new one that supports all your analog cameras. A DW® VMAX® A1™ DVR will record all of your existing analog cameras and HD analog cameras up to 5MP. These recorders are Universal HD over Coax®, meaning that they accommodate HD-Analog, HD-TVI and HD-CVI signals. |  |
| Hybrid Systems: Analog and IP | |
| When you need to expand your system, now you know that you can add HD cameras (as long as you swap your recorder). | |
| What if you want to keep your analog system while you add an IP system? | |
| You can. It’s called a hybrid system. | |
| You can use an encoder to bring your analog cameras into an IP system. |
|
| For example, a DW® Compressor™ HD Analog to IP Encoder makes it easy to view and record your analog cameras in DW Spectrum™ IPVMS. You will see all of your cameras — analog and IP — in a single user interface. View the hybrid system with the DW Spectrum® client software on your desktop computer, with DW Cloud™ on any web browser and on the DW Spectrum™ Mobile app for iOS® and Android®. You can even bring up the system on your Apple TV with the DW Site Viewer™ app. |

| Please consider asking your professional integrator about DW® HD over Coax™ cameras, recorders and encoders. | |
