The perfect location of the exhibition (the whole complex includes Birmingham airport and railroad station) makes the fair more accessible for the public – there are expected more than 30,000 visitors this year. High reputation of the fair is the result of hard work of its organizers. It is recognized as one of the best prepared fairs in the world. Permanent and often updated website promotes the exhibitors all year round. Early enough announced conferences and lectures attract many participants. Clear division of exhibition space into sections makes it easy for visitors to find what they are looking for.

This year the main topics include: RFID & Smartcards, Counter Terror, Access Control and Security Solutions, CCTV Village, IP & Networks, Security Guarding & Support Services, Intruder Alarms & Physical Security, Fire Solutions. Due to participation of all major manufacturers, the fair is an indicator of technological developments and trends for the near future.

Looking through advertisements in magazines and fair announcements, we may expect in video surveillance technology:

* significant increase of the share of megapixel cameras. Wider use of these cameras will gradually supplant speed dome cameras

* migration to MPEG-4 with H.264 codec in all IP CCTV devices including DVRs

* dominance of WDR sensors in analog cameras

The CCTV market is taking a evolutionary step forward with the inception of Megapixel ip cameras, perceived by many as the future of the CCTV market

Multi-megapixel (MP) IP cameras are now available that offer a huge jump in image quality compared to conventional surveillance cameras.

Example of Megapixel Surveillance

One of the most compelling advantages of Megapixel CCTV surveillancesystems is their ability to capture not only situation awareness the big picture of what is going on but also fine details that can be used for license plate reading and identifying people. The combination of situational awareness and detail allows security operators to react faster and reduce investigation time, all with a higher probability of prosecution and conviction.

The images below illustrate how HD  Megapixel CCTV surveillance systems can capture full situation awareness as well as fine detail.

    A standard camera would only be able to view this image and would then need to be zoomed to view the detail via a PTZ and thus loosing the rest of the picture that is out of view.

    With Megapixel cameras this detail can be zoomed into whilst the still recording the whole picture.

Electronic Pan Tilt Zoom (ePTZ)

Every Nione Security Megapixel includes digital pan/tilt/zoom ePTZ. ePTZ was developed to address problems with traditional mechanical pan/tilt/zoom devices. Mechanical devices let users redirect the camera but only record what you are zoomed in on. This can be a problem when there is more than one subject in the scene or if nobody is controlling the camera.

    The Nione Security’s Electronic Pan/Tilt/Zoom ePTZ lets you virtually move around a large image using a smaller viewing window. Since it is virtual, you can still record the entire scene in Multi-Megapixel resolution even though you may be digitally “zoomed in”. This means you never miss a thing.

    ePTZ also saves bandwidth. In many cases you don’t need to view a Multi-Megapixel image when you are accessing video over a WAN or the internet. Nione Security’s ePTZ enables you to view a much smaller image that shows the entire field of view in a smaller window. If you see something that interests you, simply zoom digitally and the Nione Security’s Multi-Megapixel resolution kicks in. As you zoom in, ePTZ introduces more detail so you don’t suffer the distortion typical with other products.

IP CCTV has been around for a number of years now and it’s interesting to just pause and consider who is committing to it as their chosen surveillance technology. Megapixel IP security cameras will become the standard for CCTV applications in the future as the market trends and patterns are already developing.

Of course there are many other factors that we can debate; bandwidth, storage, cost, compression standards, etc. But for article one, let us just consider that the analogue versus IP debate should fizzle-out soon simply because analogue CCTV cameras cannot improve significantly on 540TVL resolution; which in turn means that each camera should only view a scene width of 4.3m or 14ft.

People have greater expectations now, they can do so much with cheap digital stills cameras and their PCs (not to mention what they see via the internet). They are often disappointed with analogue CCTV performance; currently conscientious surveyors, consultants and installers have to take time to brief their clients properly and spend most of that time explaining the limitations of CCTV, what it won’t do, setting realistic expectations, explaining why a camera can only cover a small scene width effectively.

In truth there is no way that the public was ever going to persist with VHS VCRs once DVD players became affordable, and in time we will all move on to blu-ray and HDTV, it’s just a matter of price performance ratio.

It’s interesting to note that more and more of the big system users, with the resources to carry out in-depth trials, and the experience of previous technologies are now preferring the<a onClick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(’/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=” http://www.idealcctv.co.uk/mega-pixel-ip-security-cameras>Megapixel IP camera</a> at their sites. Casinos, shopping centres and ports all feature amongst this set of big customers that have switched to IP CCTV.

The unique processing technologies and camera configurations are also extremely cost-effective in that they offer more detailed coverage than as many as 24 conventional surveillance cameras. This, combined with their ability to conserve valuable bandwidth and stream faster, provides numerous additional cost and operational advantages in most field. Images from IP cameras can be cropped to a 16 x 9 aspect ratio and scaled to 1080 or 720p for a true high-definition format. With support for compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE), they deliver full motion progressive scan resolution.

This is the now!!!
