Implementing a good intelligent CCTV solutions for your San Antonio 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 San Antonio 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.

Eyeforce Video Surveillance Monitoring

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.
