Advances In Video Technology

VideoIQ also delivers the only solution designed for self-monitoring, professional outsourced monitoring or on-site guard monitoring. With superior real-time threat detection, customers can effectively prevent theft and vandalism at 1/5th the cost of an onsite guard, or make their own guard force more effective and efficient.

Outsourced: VideoIQ's video surveillance solutions are purpose built to support remote, third party professional monitoring. Replacing the function of onsite guards, at a fraction of the cost, outsourced monitoring organizations receive alarms in real-time and are specifically trained to access the threat and respond 24/7.

On-Site: VideoIQ's advanced adaptive analytics continuously monitor their field of view 24/7. By receiving real-time alerts when specific behaviors are detected, VideoIQ's surveillance solutions augment onsite guard teams, making them more effective and efficient, delivering better coverage and rapid response at lower cost.

iCVR-HD Cameras deliver full 1080p resolution and frame rate, zero bandwidth recording, full megapixel analytics and support for IQTrack™ — automatic digital PTZ zoom and track. With up to a half terabyte of intelligent, onboard Network Video Recorder (NVR) storage within each camera, iCVR-HD high definition cameras eliminate the need for expensive centralized storage and separate high capacity networks— reducing deployment costs, system complexity, infrastructure, time and resources.

Additionally, VideoIQ’s embedded, adaptive analytics automatically calibrate in minutes, delivering superior real-time threat detection and forensic evidence at no additional cost.

VideoIQ iCVR-HD cameras are VideoIQ’s highest resolution cameras, delivering dramatic 1080p video at up to 30 frames per second. With almost seven times the resolution of a standard VGA camera, the iCVR-HD allows customers to digitally zoom in for superior detail, or cover nearly three times the horizontal area — reducing costs by requiring fewer cameras for the same area.

• IQTrack™. VideoIQ iCVR-HD cameras use unique VideoIQ intelligence to automatically identify, track and digitally zoom in on suspicious objects, delivering enhanced detail, while continuing to monitor and record the entire scene. This feature enhances operator effectiveness by focusing attention on critical activity while maintaining the necessary scene context to appropriately respond to threats and investigate after the incident.

• Email notification. Whenever a rule configured by the customer is triggered, emails can be sent directly to any device supporting video email attachments or video mms, including cell phones, and smart phones, making it ideal for roaming guards or remote facility managers. Emails can be sent to as many as 32 approved addresses at the same time, and users can have their video system automatically notify and send them video clips of intruders or security breaches.

PoE In Security

Power over Ethernet or PoE technology describes a system to pass electrical power and data over Category cable. PoE has entered into the lexicon of electronic security, initially in applications involving PoE enabled IP cameras, PoE enabled UPT technologies, and PoE enabled IP based EAC (Electronic Access Control) modules.

The IEEE standard for PoE requires Category 5 cable or higher for high power levels, but can operate with Category 3 cable for low power levels.

Power is passed over two or more pairs of wires in the Ethernet cable.

Power comes from either a PoE-enabled network switch, a midspan device such as a special purpose hub, or a standalone injector.

The original IEEE 802.3af-2003 PoE standard provides up to 15.4 W of DC power (minimum 44 V DC and 350 mA) to each device with just12.95 W available at the powered device due to loss in the cable.

The updated IEEE 802.3at-2009 PoE standard (also known as PoE+ provides up to 25.5 W of power.

The 802.3at standard provides 51 W of power over a single cable by utilizing all four pairs in the Cat.5 cable.

Numerous non-standard PoE schemes exist.

Power sourcing equipment:

The PSE is a device such as a switch that provides the power source. When the PSE is a switch, it's called an endspan.
