HD CCTV is taking the UK CCTV market by storm at the moment. The reasons are simple. Its because the technology is plug and play. Any existing analogue CCTV system can be upgraded and enhanced using HD SDI technology. The benefits of of an HD SDI DVR hybrid recorder is that it can take new HD SDI cameras as well as existing analogue CCTV cameras. This means that a company who has made a considerable investment in their existing CCTV system can upgrade parts of it to HD and still use analogue cameras in locations where high definition is not a requirement. The hybrid HD SDI DVR’s come in a variety of formats . The most popular though is the 16 way unit with 12 channels of analogue and 4 channels of HD. Most companies need HD on their entrance , reception, goods in, and car park while the other cameras around the site can remain in an analogue format. The option of the hybrid HD SDI DVR is proving to be the stimulus for many businesses in the UK to take the step up to HD CCTV with of course the option to go full HD across the whole site. HD CCTV also comes with the option to view images remotely through broadband access and the ability to zoom in on recorded images without losing noticeable definition means HD CCTV has come of age. The best part about all of this is that almost all existing CCTV systems currently out there in the UK can be upgraded and enhanced by using HD CCTV solutions
