The surveillance video standards body the HDcctv Alliance will present a seminar on the future of HD CCTV in smart buildings on the first morning of IFSEC 2014 in London.
Many manufacturers have recognised end user demand for HD video, whatever the transport technology – hence they have embraced HD-SDI alongside IP cameras, says the body. Now, with the 2014 ratification of two new HDcctv standards, the options for providing end users with a High Definition surveillance system are greater than ever. What does this mean for CCTV system designers and specifiers? Are HDcctv cameras cost-effective in IP-based systems? What are the ideal situations in which to choose megapixel IP cameras instead of HDcctv cameras? What will the HD system of the future look like?
These questions will be addressed during the HDcctv Alliance seminar, at 11.30am on Tuesday June 17 at the Smart Buildings Theatre, part of the IFSEC International Academy conference. Attendance is free for visitors to IFSEC.
Todd Rockoff, pictured, HDcctv Alliance executive director, will give the presentation. He said: “This seminar session is ideal for anyone with an interest in the design of HD surveillance systems for smart buildings. That includes installers, integrators, specifiers, security managers and manufacturers. HD technology isn’t just limited to IP cameras and knowing why and when to make the right technology choice can be confusing. This presentation will help to make those choices clearer and provide alternatives so that end users ultimately can enjoy the best quality video for their security needs.”
He will be joined at the seminar by Giovanni Pugliese, CEO of HDcctv Alliance member Telecom & Security, an Italian company which designs and manufactures the CaP or Connettore a Pressione (Pressure-on Connector), a revolutionary and simple means of making coaxial connections. CaP has been awarded Best of CES and Best Design and Engineering Innovation at the Consumer Electronic Show – Las Vegas. Giovanni will discuss the way in which the CaP can help security installers.
At IFSEC 2014 the HDcctv Alliance will be exhibiting on stand D265, where visitors are encouraged to meet Alliance members, see the latest HDcctv technology in operation, and discover more about HDcctv 2.0. To book a meeting at IFSEC, or to find out more about HDcctv 2.0, email: [email protected].
