HD Surveillance: Fantasy or Reality?
Current Challenges:
The cost for large scale surveillance system would increase dramatically if using megapixel technology (compared to regular surveillance systems)
The networking infrastructure between different systems is very complicated given the amount of data flow, latency, etc.
Difficult to encode and decode in real-time with large scale megapixel technology deployment
Difficult to expand the system
High management and maintenance cost
Lack of know-how

Solutions?
Current Requirement by End-users
Integrated networking video surveillance system
Simplified large-scale video surveillance system
Real-time video surveillance system
Shows super high clarity and details
Centralized data storage and management

Current Status of Video Surveillance
The mainstream of the industry is still using CIF and 4CIF resolution
The current video surveillance system is mainly used for event recording. Details of the event, however, are not “detailed” enough yet.
The bottleneck was in technical development and market adoption.
Who is this guy?
Is it $80K or $90K?

Advantage of HD Surveillance
More details!

Requirement: Need to see both the license plate and driver’s face
HD Camera
Analog Camera

Advantage of HD Surveillance
Wider coverage per camera = less cameras on-site
HD Camera
Regular Camera

Everything HD
An Ideal HD Surveillance System
Video Input: With HD IP camera, HD digital camera, or HD encoder
Management Platform: Supports centralized/distributed HD video stream and management command
Storage: Supports storage and retrieval of HD video data
Decoding and Video Output: Directly process HD video data for output
Video Display: HD display
Other Application: Such as video analytics – higher resolution brings higher accuracy for video analytics
HD Transmission: Supports HD video transmission. Transmit uncompressed video stream can also be considered in order to lower the latency.

Case Study: HD Surveillance System
Location:
Shanghai Pudong, where World Expo 2010 are being held in.
Total visitor :6,528,460,000(up to Jun. 9)
Objective:
Establish a comprehensive high-definition surveillance system in order to monitor the Expo closely and discover criminal activities in real-time.

System Requirement
Wide Coverage
Covering 42 police stations, 6 sub-monitoring stations, and 1 central monitoring station in Pudong, Shanghai.
Over 12,000 surveillance spots.
Advance
Using the latest surveillance technology, products and infrastructure to achieve high security requirement.
Extendable
Need to be able to extend for the future requirement.
Easy to Manage
All the sub systems need to be centrally managed.

Why HD?
Wider Coverage
In order to have a wider coverage, you need to have hundreds or thousands of VGA cameras in place.
The information in one single HD camera equals to several VGA cameras.

Why HD?
ePTZ
Apart from the increased clarity of the image, HD camera also has ePTZ function for user to track or zoom in the targeted object in order to get the details.
Identification
Provide details for license plate, driver and passenger in vehicles, etc.
