Network video is a proven technology with which you can achieve the full functionality of an analogue systems, while simultaneously acquiring the numerous, additional functionalities and advantages offered by digital technology. Here is an overview of its main benefits:
Access live video at any time from anywhere
You can access real-time video at any time from any computer anywhere. The video can be stored at remote locations for convenience and security, and the information can be carried over the LAN or Internet. This mean that even companies with small, far-flung operations can make effective use of IP-surveillance solution for security or remote monitoring purposes.
Save money on start up and maintenance
In a number of ways, network video is highly cost-effective: the existing cable infrastructure can be used, so start up costs are low. Similarly, the slim network-run equipment keeps maintenance costs low.
In a network video solution, there is simply less equipment to maintain than in a traditional analogue system, fewer parts that can wear out over time. Images are stored on computer hard disks, which is a neater, cheaper solution than VCR and tapes.
Put the camera wherever you want
There are almost no limitations as to where you can place cameras. They are not tied to physical inputs or frame grabbers and you can connect the product to a LAN, xDSL, modem, wireless adapter or cellphone. Basically wherever you can receive a phone call on your cellphone, you can receive images from an Axis network video product.
A system that grows with your needs
A network video solution can be expanded by simply adding cameras one by one, and quickly; on average it only takes a few minutes to get the product out of the box, connected and start sending images over the network.
On track for the future
Given their tangible convenience and cost advantages, network video and other kinds of digital media are set to gradually become the norm. Network video also has the capacity to provide a higher level of integration with other functions and services, making it a continually developing system. And the use of open standards protocols and networks for communication enables easy system integration with equipment from a wide range of manufacturers.
