Ten
Greatest Myths about IP-Surveillance |
|
|
|
There are a number of myths, large and small, surrounding IP-Surveillance
technology. We’ve taken the 10 most often-heard myths and organized
them into two categories: general and technical. We’ll take the
general un-truths first and then launch into some of the technical
misperceptions |
|
|
|
Myth #6: If I already have analog cameras installed, IP-Surveillance
isn’t an option because I need a DVR. |
|
|
|
Reality: Perhaps DVR providers want us to believe this, but video
server technology is riding to the rescue and smashing this myth.
Leading IP-Surveillance vendors have video servers readily available
at a reasonable investment level. A video server converts the analog
video signal into a digitized video stream over the network,
basically converting any analog camera into a network camera. Most
IP-Surveillance installs today have a combination of analog cameras,
networked via video servers, and sections that are comprised
completely of network cameras. An installation with fully
functioning and already paid-for analog cameras is not a barrier to
utilizing superior IP-Surveillance technology.
Now that we’ve successfully demolished
several often-heard general myths surrounding IP-Surveillance, let’s
examine some of the more technically oriented misunderstandings
about networked video systems.
