CCTV technology is constantly evolving but when it comes to High Definition( HD CCTV) we now have a something that is making most CCTV professionals sit up and take notice, the technology that is HD CCTV over coax. Why you may ask ? Well with HD CCTV over coax we have a technology that everyone has been trying to achieve in the CCTV industry for years. It is now of course possible to achieve HD quality with HD over IP but to be able to use existing infrastructure, maintain previous investment and still get HD cameras as well has to be a tremendous benefit. HD CCTV over coax gets very interesting, specifically in terms of the quality of images and the the potential to accurately identify suspects and achieve successful convictions using CCTV footage.
Remember a 1.5 megapixel HD camera has 4 times the resolution of a conventional analogue camera and this means that recorded images are four times better and you are able to zoom into images without pixelation.
The transition to High Definition HD CCTV over coax brings with it a number of benefits, it allows the delivery of more detailed images than ever before as previously highlighted and importantly this brings a return on investment in a number of different ways.
Firstly less cameras required. This seems obvious but in simple terms the more detail you capture the less cameras you need.
Secondly, no need to reinvest in cabling infrastructure. With HD over coax you are just replacing ends, something that is a very simple and cost effective process.
Further benefits include the fact that there is no need to re-train engineers, no third party IT department to support the on site engineer and products that are becoming more cost effective by the day.
Chip manufacturers have seen a major opportunity with HD CCTV over coax and serious investment is now occurring and with cheaper chips come more advanced and more competitive products, something that is happening in the HD CCTV market more than any other aspect of the CCTV market today.
So if you want crisp clear images at very competitive prices then HD CCTV is the best current way to consider upgrading you security system
