HD Camera manufacturers are struggling to offer Video Content Analytics on their HD / Megapixel IP cameras……… they don’t tell you why – it is simple, their hardware cannot cope with it and needs updating……….probably too much stock of legacy kit though
At least one company (VideoIQ) has cut out the middle man and gone straight to hardware that can support it – clever people
“PTZ cameras are too dear, I will have have statics”
makes sense, but don’t moan that your static camera looking at 100m x 100m ‘has no detail’ – laws of physics says it can’t if it isn’t able to move or zoom, don’t try and defy those laws!
PTZ dome cameras need to sort their act out if they want to survive
they all have their own languages, they all have their own controllers and they get very grumpy if you try to force them onto something else
PTZ manufacturers, make your kit have a common language – you’ll sell more……..there’s a lot of existing kit out there looking for upgrades
Over recent months, we have thoroughly enjoyed detailing our thoughts and reviews on all the great (and not so great!) aspects of our industry!
So, we have decided to change the format a little with our blogs – a little bit of something for everyone!
We will still have our regular reviews and news mainly from our own Blogadmin, and also the opinions and musings of Tom, but we are pleased to announce the arrival of another blogger to our site – well, we would like to announce it but he/she won’t let us!
You see, imagine a Banksy or Stig of the blog world – all we know is that this blogger wants to drop in titbits of inside news or gossip, maybe the odd contentious comment or thread to bring a little extra spice to our site! And, if you disagree, then make sure you drop a comment back!!!!
CCTVinsider (their choice not ours, in fact we even had to give them log in rights to choose the password!) has requested that they may appear now and again – so make sure to subscribe for regular blog updates. We are assured that he/she is a leading authority within the CCTV industry.
And…don’t forget the comments and retweets – they mean a lot to us!
