Samsung HD SDI CCTV solutions

Anything up to the first quarter of this year that was offering a viable HD CCTV solution has been synonymous with IP network systems. Now though, HD SDI CCTV is capturing the imagination of  CCTV installers. Samsung are at the forefront of the new HD SDI revolution and technology built into Samsung’s new HD-SDI cameras and HD SDI DVR allows installers  the option of real time Full HD images over coax cabling.

Samsung SRD 480D HD-sdi DVR

HD-SDI CCTV installed over coax means there is no loss of image data and zero latency when live images are viewed. The new SCB-6000 HD SDI camera and  SCD-6080 internal dome are therefore perfect for retail environments, especially where existing coax exists and the cost of using the network is prohibitive.

The Samsung HD-SDI four-channel SRD-480D DVR has also come onto the market this quarter. Samsung appreciate that there are viable options to IP HD and have released the new HD SDI CCTV range in order to offer a full HD CCTV solution and compete across all 3 disciplines. Real time images at 720p resolution across all channels can be achieved.

For HD SDI CCTV to work, no licence is required and existing coaxial cable runs of up to 100m can be used. If the distance required is over the 100m mark then distance can be extended when Samsung introduce in the near future the SPH-120R Repeater.

Samsung have made  their HD SDI range compatible with Samsung’s licence-free Net-i Viewer software. This means IP analogue and now HD SDI CCTV can all be controlled from the same remote software platform giving installers plenty of choice when upgrading existing multiple site installations.

The SCB-6000 HD SDI camera and SCD-6080 can deliver up to 5 times the resolution of a traditional analogue camera. Both cameras are fitted with noise reduction technology and can deliver 25 frames per second real time images and  both are true day/night with super dynamic features built in.

The Samsung HD-SDI CCTV range is supplied with full support services from Samsung Techwin Europe.

 

Samsung SRN1670D

The Samsung SRN1670D is designed to make the installation of an IP system simpler and cost effective. The Samsung SRN1670D is an NVR that can support up to 16 cameras and deliver real time recording capability at a resolution of 4CIF.

One of the main benefits that Samsung are promoting is that the 1670D operates in the exactly the same way as a traditional analogue DVR as far as the installer and end user are concerned. This is seen as a feature that will encourage upgrades to IP cameras for those who have shied away from this technology previously. The SRN 1670D quickly is able to discover Samsung IP cameras on a network and is capable of recording full HD Samsung IP cameras. With mouse driven control and the ability to back up recordings during playback makes this an easy to operate IP CCTV solution.

Full features include

16 IP camera recording

Full HD resolution

64 Mb bandwidth recording

4 CIF images at 400 FPS

VGA and HDMI outputs for monitors

Web browser

16 alarm inputs

DVD writer.

At just £1290 the Samsung SRN1670D is certainly pitched at a price to sell.

 

 

Intersec Dubai news and reviews

Intersec is over for another year and the wonderful country of Dubai has waved off the hundreds of over sea Manufacturers and Distributors within our great Industry!

Intersec Dubai

I was looking to post daily, but 3G conspired against me and wifi within the show was well used shall we say!!!

But here goes…

Held in the wonderfully situated Dubai Convention and Exhibition Centre in the main Business sector of Dubai, the show was a very well laid out expo, held over several halls split into country zones. I liked this format and am sure those visiting with specific technology in mind would find this method an easy way to navigate what was an extremely large show

It seemed larger than our own UK based IFSEC expo based in Birmingham, and yet the halls and stands interconnected in a logical, Milton Keynes road structure way!

Notably, our Far Eastern friends find value in the Middle Eastern region, occupying large sections of the exhibitions in ‘China’, ‘Taiwan’ and ‘Korea’ sections – all showing a mixture of their latest Tech goodies including Megapixel cameras, NVR Software solutions and other ‘must have’ gadgets!

What was interesting was the distinct lack of HD-SDI solutions – HDCCTV in another name – and I can kind of understand why………

3G (despite my own woes) was prevalent EVERYWHERE in Dubai…….and this is mirrored throughout the Middle East. Our Arabian friends have embraced IP Technology, spending huge quantities of money developing envied high speed internet links throughout their regions……….visitors to any CCTV stands would always be heard asking ‘is that camera available in IP’

So, with such high acceptance and embrace of IP technology, why would they need HDCCTV?  I cannot argue against this on this occasion – the regions are developing from a relatively recent existence and therefore their ‘retro-fit’ market is much, much less than ours in the UK – if it’s new, it’s IP…..

I did spot an excellent gadget on the Cominet stand though!! a 3G HD-SDI Link to extend HDCCTV connectivity to upto 30Km !!!!! Nice!

So, with the focus on latest products & technology, here is a summary of the key exhibitors and their Intersec offering !
Cominet  – 3G hdsdi link 30km
CPPlus – a nice range of HD-SDI cameras and DVRs including a good looking  3MP Mini-dome

Norbain with their VIP Overt PTZ and Arecont ‘exclusive’ IP Product range.
Comnet showed a very nice PoE+ to provide power over copper to 1km.
Optex/Redwall had a very impressive stand with a PTZ Ganz unit to support their perimeter detection devices.
Hall 3 was set aside for more Integrator/Solution Provider presence relating to homeland security – One notable exhibitor was the Soncell Corporation including the Panoptech team.
Axxon from Russia showed their excellent BMS IP solution.
Bosch – IP all the way but only had one of their flagship MIC units on display !!
Axis IP air conditioned dome!! – yep, a dome with air conditioning on the side !!
Samsung  – interesting to see their inclusion into thermal imaging solutions and also their HDCCTV products!
Panasonic solar wireless CCTV – well, there is always an abundance of sun in the Middle East, good call Panasonic!
Videotec from Italy showed their PTZ positioning device – not the smallest but certainly very well made!
Genetic IP software to rival the Milestone revolution
UTC/Chubb showing their System Solution skills

and not forgetting……
Vivotek
Sony
FLIR
Honeywell
Mobitix

So, was it a success? in my opinion a resounding yes!

Well laid out, wonderfully positioned, excellent cross section of exhibitors, great facilities (catering, rest rooms etc) and with great travel options including the excellent Dubai Metro

In fact, probably the best Security Show currently available!

Samsung DVR SRD series.

Samsung SRD series.

Samsung has recently brought out their new SRD series of H.264 DVRs. Branded as the Techwin DVR, many of the new models have an HDMI output to upscale images to 1080p together with virtual progressive scan. These new features help with the problems with blurred edges and the development of this technology has ensured that the user will see crisp clear still frames when reviewing images.

Wide range of DVRs.

The SRD range has been developed to give installers a wide range of products to suit all budgets and offer many different variables of solutions. Existing static cameras can be easily upgraded to a PTZ dome camera as RS485 control can be sent over the existing coaxial cable and eliminates the need to run an additional twisted pair to effect camera control. A built in web server, dual codec operation and removable hard drives all gives the installer plenty of options when specifying for a multitude of scenarios.

CCTV software.

All the new series will interface with Samsung’s centralized management software SVM-S1 with a GUI menu structure that makes operation for the end user very simplistic. Samsung DVRs have earned an excellent reputation for reliability and flexibility and the SRD series is no exception to this. Supplied with a a full three year warranty and free technical support the SRD range is expected to sell very well over the next couple of years.
