This week, at ISC West, Supercircuits announced the release of a new IP video surveillance solution offering hybrid analog / IP camera support and advanced video analytics.
The market demand for higher-quality video surveillance systems increased in the last months. Traditional analog cameras do not always offer the advanced technological features demanded by today's security-conscience customers. Video surveillance manufacturers are answering this call by creating more sophisticated DVRs, NVRs (Network Video Recorders), and HVRs (Hybrid Video Recorders) coupled with IP cameras that offer greater flexibility and more intelligence.

    The research titled "The World Market for CCTV & Video Surveillance Equipment 2006 Edition" published on January 23, 2007 by IMS Research, the trend from analog CCTV to network video surveillance is in full swing. The world market for network video surveillance products increased by 41.9 percent in 2006 and by 2010, the combined market for network cameras, video servers and NVRs is estimated to reach $2.6 billion.

    Mark Thompson, chief executive officer of Supercircuits, said: "IP video surveillance equipment has proven to be a reliable, easy-to-use, and more efficient alternative for security professionals wanting to create a safe environment. Still, many businesses have yet to adopt the technology. Supercircuits has created an IP-based video surveillance solution that makes deployments, whether it's to protect a state park, a college campus or a growing enterprise, technically, operationally and financially achievable."

The Supercircuits' IP video surveillance solution are fully customizable and offer customers the option to migrate at their own pace and purchase only the components required to support their needs whether it's solely analog support, complete IP camera support or a hybrid. And, as with all Supercircuits products, the new IP video surveillance solution is backed by Supercircuits' warranties and lifetime support by specially trained technicians. The company has created a full featured network video surveillance system with some of the most advanced features and video analytics available today, offering high quality IP video images coupled with the latest in intelligent data mining and information retrieval technology. The solution is extremely flexible and is compatible with all analog cameras.

The most important features of the IP video surveillance solution are:

    *    Detect user defined actions in response to events such as a foreign object, camera occlusion or missing object.
    *    Record, store, play back and perform basic video analysis integrating video input from traditional analog cameras, IP cameras and mega-pixel cameras.
    *    Count objects, especially important for production lines or environments where operators need to count traffic through aisles or doorways.
    *    Securely monitor and view recorded video from any remote location, thru multiple user accounts with controlled access.
    *    Perform post recording analysis for quick and accurate identification of theft. For example, if an operator finds an empty package in his or her store, they can draw a box around the item and auto-search the video to find who left the item and when it occurred.
    *    Create event-based actions such as recording, sending e-mail, playing audio, or pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) control with easy scripting.
