Implementing
a digital system does not require throwing away those trusted (and
already paid-for) cameras. With IP-Surveillance, you can still use
all the cameras, lenses, and cables in place through this step-by-step
migration to digital technology. And if this is not enough reason
to seriously consider an upgrade, examine the TLV, or time-lapse
video, recording component. These systems are highly labor intensive
because of the need to change tapes and perform system maintenance.
Tape wear and tear is an ever-present problem. Furthermore, the
actual quality of the images recorded is often unsatisfactory, particularly
if used for official investigations. With the introduction of digital
video recorder (DVR) technology, the storage media are no longer
dependent on operator intervention or tape quality. And with IP-Surveillance
technology, the video server and network server represent the next
level of improvement by connecting existing cameras to the network
with a video server and then storing the images on the network server.
