Qvis HD SDI DVR

The new Qvis HD SDI DVR and camera range will be on sale and available to buy here in the UK from May 2012. 

The Qvis HD SDI DVR will have lots of juicy features as standard and these will include,

D1 imaging with 25fps recording on all channels.

H.264 compression this will enable the HD SDI DVR to reduce noise interference and in addition will include a de-interlacing feature.

The Qvis HD SDI DVR has intelligent recording technology, this is used to maximise the amount of data that can be held on the hard drive at any one time. With HD SDI the quality of the picture is second to none but the amount storage has to be well managed. Qvis have achieved this here with the Apollo unit.

To give even further flexibility the parameters on each camera can be individually configured. This enhances the use of the audio features and as a result the Qvis HD SDI DVR has lip-sync audio on all channels.

Advanced search facilities allows  motion to be detected across an entire field of view or sub- regions of this with multi channel playback and single step searching meaning all events are easy to find.

The Qvis HD SDI DVR also has all the usual remote access facilities you would expect. Access cam be achieved both from your PC or your mobile device.

This HD SDI DVR gets its powerful performance from a dual-core CPU and can support 8 SATA HDD’s up to 24 TB it also has a built in web-server.

We expect the Qvis HD SDI DVR to retail around the £1300 mark so it will be highly competitive. Qvis also offer  HD SDI cameras within their new range. These include:

The 2MP Qvis HD SDI vandal proof dome.

The 2.1 MP Qvis HD SDI P400 C/W 100 IR leds giving a range of 100M of IR lighting at night.

HD SDI at IFSEC 2012

HD SDI CCTV is going to be one of the main talking points at IFSEC this year. Many companies are now bringing out their HD SDI offerings in time for this years exhibition. Perhaps the most interesting thing from installers point of view is going to be the question why install HD CCTV rather than IP HD. Many CCTV companies have struggled to make the shift from Analog to IP and HD SDI gives them a solution that has not been available commercially until this year. HD SDI CCTV has no latency and the images are of excellent quality. There will be lots of comparisons this year of Analog images verses HD SDI but there is really no contest. High def images are the way forward for the CCTV industry and HD SDI is what many installers have been looking for for a long time now.

Installation is simple , either use the existing coax or alternatively run new coaxial cables just as would have been the case with a standard analog CCTV system. Many have questioned the flexibility of CCTV over coax but in essence most HD SDI DVR s have the ability to network and be accessed remotely via mobile devices.

HD SDI cameras do vary in performance and the HDcctv alliance has made great steps in making manufacturers cameras and HD SDI dvr s compatible. This will push the technology to bigger and better things and mean HD SDI technology will rival IP HD solutions for the market share. It must be stressed that HD SDI CCTV and IP both have there place. For new build and large integrated projects IP will still be the preferred option but the bulk of existing CCTV that has traditional RG59 coaxial infrastructure HD SDI offers a simple upgrade path that will find favour with CCTV installers and end users alike.

So this is the big year for HD SDI CCTV and with HD SDI technology improving by the day it will be interesting to see where we are the same time next year

Grundig HD-SDI CCTV range

Grundig HD-SDI CCTV range.


Grundig has become the latest big name to embrace HD-SDI technology. They have released their new range of HD-SDI cameras, HD-SDI domes and HD-SDI DVR’s.
Grundig the German electronics manufacturer are claiming that HD-SDI CCTV will prove a major break through in the security industry. Now we have been advocating this for sometime, however as each day passes more of the larger names in the security industry are showing their hand with new HD-SDI CCTV equipment being released into the marketplace.

HD SDI DVR from Grundig
Grundig have stated in their latest press release “HD-SDI CCTV is a major breakthrough in the security industry. It enables the transmission of uncompressed digital video at a higher quality than IP, yet uses the same simple installation method as analogue coaxial cable. It also does not require expert IT support”.
Grundig’s senior product manager, Andreas Kronwald, explains: “Grundig’s HD-SDI products operate at 1080p progressive scan, 1980 x 1080 pixel resolution and 50 / 60 fps. This compares to D1 resolution at 720 x 576 pixels and IP megapixel cameras at 1280 x 1024 pixels. The recorders support 120 fps and offer up to a massive 64 TB of storage. Unlike IP CCTV, HD-SDI uses no compression at all, so image quality is optimized. It even enables installers to offer a digital upgrade to analogue systems, re-using the existing coaxial cable infrastructure to save money”.

Well  we need to see what price Grundig can market their HD SDI CCTV product for , however the competition is hotting up and prices will fall as a result.
Grundig’s spokesman continued “HD-SDI is presented in 16:9, widescreen format, meaning no black bars appear on monitors. Transmission distances are currently 100m and similar to IP. However, developments in SDI-specific, fibre optic transmission systems are extending transmission distances to many kilometres”.
Grundig have made clear that an HD-SDI CCTV system can still be connected to an IP network enabling all the features you could expect from a standard DVR that was remotely monitored. Grundig’s approach is to emphasise to end users the ease of installation and they claim that. “HD-SDI a CCTV not IP, with limited external access. It is intrinsically safe, far simpler to protect, ideal for installers and very effective in security applications”.
This entrance into the Market place from Grundig comes hot on the heals of the Samsung SRD480D and its HD SDI camera the SCB-6000 all very encouraging for the advancement of HD SDI CCTV as a technology that could soon bring HD to the smaller CCTV installer and their customers.
