A recent press release for a new CCTV camera reads:The high resolution imagery allows the network camera to substitute up to twenty four analogue cameras, thereby reducing the total cost of installation. Power is drawn from a low cost Power-over-Ethernet switch removing the need to supply a separate power supply. The camera delivers full motion progressive scan 1600 x 1200 video at 22 fps with all four channels in parallel. It can also offer 88fps with 800 x 600 resolution. Onboard real-time motion detection with size and sensitivity controls for up to 64 separate motion detection zones per channel is supplied as standard. Advanced features include concurrent transmission of different frame formats and simultaneous delivery of multiple zoomed and full field of view video streams at full frame rates. The software also allows for post-event zoom-in capability from archived footage, concurrent full field of view and high-quality zoom.
Sounds fantastic but can it do what you want it to do – augment manpower, reduce crime and detect adversaries?
