Migration from Analog to Digital/IP Video for CCTV Surveillance
Speco Technologies - Zhara Zwerling

The accelerating rate of introduction of new technology into the CCTV arena is creating unprecedented opportunities for leveraging existing structured wiring and other network infrastructure by employing IP enabled solutions for the transport, recording and viewing of video, both locally and remotely. This course discusses the tradeoffs to be considered when estimating total cost of system ownership; barriers to entry versus unique capabilities offered by “IP enabled” solutions; bandwidth considerations in systems design; a migration path via ‘hybrid’ systems which combine traditional analog with digital/IP capabilities; megapixel camera considerations; and the role of “Enterprise” management software in large scale systems. It will cover ways that a profitable, practical transition to “IP” video can be made based on the strengths of organization designing/providing the system, and the particulars of the specific project.

Introduction to Mega Pixel Cameras
CBC Corp - Rick Scott

The introduction of High Definition megapixel CCTV cameras and associated HD recording and display solutions promises to be a major milestone in the capability of CCTV systems. If current trends continue, it’s highly likely that High Definition CCTV will become the de facto standard for CCTV users and providers over the next few years. As with the move in the 1990s from analog to digital CCTV technology, the appearance of HD CCTV parallels the experience in the consumer electronics market. From a security and risk management perspective, CBC believes that the transition to HD CCTV brings with it a number of benefits. As stated, it allows the delivery of more detailed images than ever before. With this in mind, we’re likely to see Megapixel Cameras being particularly favored for high risk environments such as banking, casinos, transportation, retail, government, industry, and much more. This seminar will cover the capabilities and how to system integrate Megapixel Cameras.
