Megapixel Technology
 One of the most influential drivers in the IP video
segment.
 Specialized companies have spearheaded the
development and marketing
– Larger camera manufactures are catching up
 1.3MP is main volume with 2MP, 3MP & 5MP becoming
more common in applications
– Higher MP cameras are in the market
 Driving up the need for external storage
 Lighting condition limitations now improving with intro of
Auto Iris CCD megapixel products

Storage & Networking
 Increased resolution and demand for high frame rates is
driving the need for more complex storage solutions.
– ISCSI RAID Arrays
– Internal RAID formats
– Centralized SAS storage
 Constant increase in drive density is dramatically
reducing storage cost
– Now reviewing 2 TB drives
 Typical cost of 1 TB drive now under $250.00
 These reductions have affected IP video as well as DVR
costs
 Lower cost of storage coupled with an increase in
installer knowledge of networking has made IP video
more cost effective

Video Content Analysis
 Analytics
– The analytics market still has not grown to the size projected
some years back
– Total worldwide Analytics market estimated at about $40M
– Growth has been hampered by:
• Complexity of the technology (setup and false alarms)
• Lack of proper expectations
• Cost per channel
– Market for Analytics is still mainly in defense sectors. Small
portion of analytics are used in commercial applications
– Transfer of the Analytics to edge (camera) is still a driving factor
in IP video camera deployment

Open Platform & Standards
 What is an “Open Platform”?
– In the video world, it’s a management platform that capable of
interfacing cameras from multiple manufacturers
• Beneficial since it does not lock the use into one
hardware (camera) source
– Issues today
• No Standards:
– Problems occur when interfaces change
– Development from manufacturer to manufacturer is
different
• No consistency with feature support among
different manufactured cameras

Standards…
 ONVIF™: (Open Network Video Interface Forum)
– Global standard for the interface of network video products
– The ONVIF specification will ensure interoperability between
network video products regardless of manufacturer. The
cornerstones of ONVIF are:
• Standardization of communication between network video
devices
• Interoperability between network video products regardless of
manufacturer
• Open to all companies and organizations
– The ONVIF specification defines a common protocol for the
exchange of information between network video devices
including automatic device discovery, video streaming and
intelligence metadata.

Operational Use of Systems
 PSIM (Physical Security Management Systems)
– Roughly defined as a combination of different system
technologies brought together to operate as a cohesive solution.
– Video, Access, Fire, Intrusion, Emergency Communication
– ORSUS, Vidsys, Proximex, Intergraph are more “Situational
Awareness” software providers
– These solutions typically are very expensive and are used
mostly in the Military/Government markets
– A well integrated system can provide most of the capabilities
without the cost?
