Video Encoders Archives
At ASIS 2008 in Atlanta, VideoIQ revealed its new iCVR Storage Encoder. The VideoIQ iCVR allows users to integrate their existing analog CCTV cameras into an IP-based surveillance system that offers power, flexibility, and intelligent functionality. The encoder is ideal for those who want the benefits of IP-based surveillance, while still being able to make use of their analog security cameras.
Axis Communications recently unveiled three new video encoder products that support H.264 compression. H.264 is the latest, cutting-edge compression format that can significantly reduce bandwidth and storage requirements compared with Motion JPEG and MPEG-4. The new encoder products include the Axis Q7401 Video Encoder, the Axis Q7406 Video Encoder Blade, and the Axis Q7900 Rack.
Axis Communications has introduced a new one-channel video encoder offering H.264 compression. The Axis M7001 Video Encoder provides a cost-effective solution for integrating analog CCTV cameras into an IP-based surveillance system. This is an extremely compact encoder (smaller than a modern cell phone), which makes it ideal for use within camera housings and in discreet video surveillance applications such as banks and retail stores.
One of the new products Axis revealed at the ISC West conference was the Q7404 video encoder. Designed to help users transition from analog CCTV to IP video surveillance, the Axis Q7404 is a four-channel video encoder that offers H.264 video compression. With H.264 you can stream high-quality video while significantly reducing bandwidth and storage usage. The savings are sizeable when compared to other compression technologies.
Tampa Bay Downs, the self-proclaimed "only thoroughbred racetrack on Florida's west coast," recently had to upgrade it video surveillance system in order to meet new Florida regulations for electronic surveillance in gaming facilities. The key to the upgrade was transitioning from an analog solution to an IP-based digital system to monitor the facility's 30-table Silks Poker Room. Previously, the analog CCTV cameras in the poker room transmitted footage to digital video recorders (DVRs), but the system only provided moderate resolution and offered very little in the way of scalability or upgrade potential. Now the cameras are connected to Axis video encoders which convert the video footage to digital, enabling easy integration with an IP network solution.
With high-profile clients like celebrities, politicians and even royalty, security is a top priority for the Hyde Park Dorchester Hotel in London. Security staff has outfitted the hotel with a future-proof system with Milestone XProtect Enterprise IP video management software at its heart. ACTi video encoders digitize data from already existing analog cameras and Axis network cameras have been installed in the spa of the hotel, the only area operating with purely IP network technology.
The Paris National Opera is a huge draw for tourists thanks to the theater, music and impressive architecture of the opera houses. When it came time to update the security systems for two of its opera houses, the Paris National Opera turned to Axis IP cameras for the solution.
