640 X 480 Image

1900 X 1200 Image

 Power Over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af)

Less cabling Can be added using injectors (mid-spans) Use existing Voice over IP switches

Various video compression methods are available

Motion JPEG MPEG4 H.264 Wavelet

Most cameras only have one or two types of compression available

The camera can be used as connection device for other types of data:
Alarm Inputs Alarm Outputs Audio (Bi-Directional) RS-232

Many models have card slots available for wireless Ethernet adaptors or local storage Many options are available for wireless connection to cameras

Most models have built-in motion detection Some have built-in video analytics

Software Solution
Installed on a non-proprietary server Advantages:
Customers can source their own servers, workstations, and storage devices Can be less expensive in cases where there are a large number of cameras being recorded at a low frame rate Virtually all IP cameras are supported Virtual matrix switch software is available

 Disadvantages of software NVR

Can be more difficult to install and service Higher total cost in most cases Limited integration with access control Customers can buy their own servers and storage

NVR on proprietary hardware

Software is pre-installed on hardware provided by the CCTV manufacturer Internal or external storage is also usually provided by the CCTV manufacturer Advantages
Easy to design the system Easy to install and service Many of these types of NVRs can be integrated with access control systems User interface may be similar or identical to DVRs Well developed suite of features inherited from DVR technology

 Disadvantages of proprietary NVR

Usually support a very limited variety of cameras Customers that desire IP surveillance systems may not want to be locked into proprietary server and storage hardware

Hardware Cost
$300 to $500 more per camera

Requires a higher level of skill and training to install Introduces a different group of competitors
Internet Resellers Network VARs

Existing IP network infrastructure can be utilized

Gigabit Ethernet Backbone Schools, office buildings, etc.

Large facilities or campus environments

Server pulls video over network backbone Long distance home-run cabling is not required.

Locations are connected via a WAN Recording is done at a central location

Customer needs high resolution images

Most surveillance grade IP cameras can provide higher resolution images than DVR MegaPixel cameras can provide very high quality images
Remember that they will require at least 20 times more storage space than a standard camera

Customers with the future in mind Customers with a strong IT department
