The trade only CCTV security products distributor, COP Security, is offering High Definition (HD) surveillance – via the new Dahua High Definition Composite Video Interface (HDCVI).
As a way to upgrade standard definition installations to HD, using coax or CAT5 cable, upgrading an analogue digital recorder to a HDCVI DVR allows a mix of analogue, IP 720p and HD 1080p cameras within the same system. Any standard IP cameras can be included in the camera network, as HDCVI DVRs are compatible with any ONVIF compliant IP camera. With HDCVI, customers can add to, or replace analogue cameras with HD-quality HDCVI versions when their budget or plans allow. Using this piecemeal approach, end-users can upgrade or expand their CCTV when they require, advancing to HD quality imagery as they progress, and at a time to suit them.
HDCVI-based installations are compatible in cost, and often less expensive than analogue equivalents, it is claimed. Also, HDCVI products require no special skills to install, so upgrading to HD video has never been simpler, easier or more cost-effective.
Gareth Rhodes, Sales and Marketing Manager for COP Security, says: “At COP Security, we are focused on future technology and providing the most economical solutions for our customers, without the need to implement expensive infrastructure changes. With Dahua HDCVI technology, we are proactively supporting the UK surveillance industry to make the switch from standard, to high-performance High Definition systems – in the simplest and most cost-effective method available.”
