Implementing a good intelligent CCTV solutions for your Chicago based business
will rely on choosing a CCTV intelligent system. Intelligent CCTV systems
rely on very complex algorithms that sort through the video stream looking for
changes in the pixels of the image. These algorithms are very complex
and there are several of items to be aware of when implementing video analytics
to your CCTV video surveillance system.
In order for a CCTV solution to be most effective, it is important that the
signal input be of the highest quality. You will need to make sure and chose
cameras with optical clarity and high resolution. One of our dealers in the Chicago
area can assist you with selecting the right camera.
Placement of those cameras is very important. It requires more cameras be
placed in areas where you would not normally think of placing them.
The environment and lighting conditions found in outdoor applications also
make setup more difficult than an indoor job. Clouds, wind-blown tree
branches—even car lights—can pose a challenge to the installing system
integrator. It can take a lot of fine-tuning to achieve reliable performance.

 Also, it is important to take into consideration what the software will be
expected to analyze. Some intelligent video software requires more than 100
pixels to track and display an object. Other software can do so with as few as
four pixels. That difference may be important to the end user.
The amount of video that the average mid-sized or large corporation collects
is massive. Making sense of it all can take a major effort. Intelligent video
software offers a way to make better use of this valuable data by automatically
analyzing it and noting user-defined alarm situations. Object tracking, people
counting, facial and license plate recognition, and more, are all possible with
intelligent video software.
There is no doubt that the technology has arrived and will only grow in
importance to the industry. As costs drop and product features are added and
refined, intelligent video will find its way into smaller installations outside
of the government and large corporations.
New and more complicated technologies such as intelligent video offer a
chance for a systems dealer integrator to show how smart you are. An informed
integrator can answer clients' questions and help select the best products to
make a successful transition to this new video technology.

Eyeforce Video
Surveillance Monitoring |
|
|
|
| Change is inevitable and having been in the security
industry for over two decades, Danny Forrest has seen lots of it.
As president of Houston, TX based, Eyeforce Inc. the company
specializes in video surveillance monitoring and hosted managed access
control services. Forrest has been adapting to the market, as he
puts it, in a "Texas can do style" even when the industry couldn't.
He is not shy about telling you how it is.
Knowing how to build
networks is the key to the doorway of success. "In the mid
1990s, I started noticing that the time was here to have all the
systems integrate," states Forrest.
"Now that we have accomplished this as an industry we really need
to improve networks and utilize access to things like cheaper
bandwidth," he comments. "In 1995 I opened a central station for
video monitoring in the Houston area to provide monitoring services to
customers like car dealerships and office buildings. At that
time we used phone lines and kept everything working off one
computer," he recalls. In today's telecom environment the low
cost of high speed internet has made it possible for more customers
needing video monitoring services look at CCTV systems and video
monitoring as a cost effect way to detour crime. |

IP Video Advantages
-
No Single
point of failure. Each camera being a separate intelligent
entity, there is no one place that can fail to bring the entire
system down.
-
Redundancy or
fault tolerance can be built into the management system ensuring
high reliability.
-
Many new
construction projects include structured network cable
throughout the buildings, and this makes deployment of
IP/Network cameras a relatively trivial matter. Additional
cameras, temporary solutions or single cameras in a location can
easily be implemented with minimal installation work.
-
Improved
image performance. As there is no conversion of the video into
an analog signal prior to the MPEG-4 compression, the IP cameras
generally provide superior image quality. Advanced features such
as integrated alarms, audio and motion detection are being built
into the camera and being transmitted via IP over the network.
-
Network PTZ
cameras can be controlled via the network without additional
cabling. A fixed camera can easily be replaced by a PTZ model.
No extra cables have to be run for PTZ controls.
-
Power over
Ethernet availability means a power cable may not be needed. If
the network supports Power over Ethernet, the camera can be
powered by the Ethernet connection; meaning only one cable is
needed for the entire functionality of the device.
-
Plug and
Play; IP cameras use a protocol called UPnP, which detects the
camera when it is on a network.
-
Network
cameras have built in browsers allowing occasional users to
connect from anywhere on the network. Network cameras generally
support firmware uploads making functionality improvements
possible without equipment redundancy.
