4K analogue video

May 2016 Editor's Choice, Surveillance, News & Events

Analogue CCTV users can now enjoy 5 MP HDTVI and 4 K video resolution while safeguarding their investment with existing cabling infrastructure. Hikvision is launching its third-generation analogue HD solution. Turbo HD 3.0 not only ensures higher video performance with up to 5 MP HDTVI input and 4 K video output, but also supports latency-free 1080p HD video up to 800 m and HD720p transmission up to 1200 m over coaxial cable.

Turbo HD 3.0 retains the ease-of-use of an analogue system while offering up to 5 MP video and makes high-definition surveillance systems possible without replacing existing cabling or switching to IP cameras. Turbo HD 3.0 uses HDTVI technology, eliminating compatibility issues whenever you have to mix old technology with new products, making installation simple and cost-effective.

Hikvision’s high-calibre H.264+ compression technology improves encoding efficiency by up to 50% compared to standard H.264, dramatically reducing bitrates while maintaining high transmission quality without losing forensic details. With data costs a high priority for most users, Hikvision’s H.264+ reduces memory demands in existing DVRs/NVRs and markedly reduces data storage costs.

Hikvision Turbo HD 3.0 technology guarantees up to 1200 m of high-quality HD720p transmission and up to 800 m of HD1080p video via coaxial cable, distances unattainable by other analogue solutions. The increased transmission distances mean that larger projects can be tackled while existing systems can be extended quickly and easily.

Hikvision’s Power-over-Coax (PoC) feature radically simplifies installation, as one coaxial cable carries both the video signal and the power supply. This translates to reduced installation time, which also translates to a reduction in both installation and material costs! In addition, the Turbo HD 3.0 analogue solution supports UTC for remote set-up and configuration and enables control of the OSD menu and PTZ control via coaxial cable, enabling faster camera installation and easier management.

Hikvision offers a comprehensive range of 1080p and 720p cameras including bullet, turret, and dome types – including PTZ – for indoor and outdoor use. Of note is Hikvision’s full range EXIR series with 2 MP and 3 MP resolution, which excels in superior image clarity in ultra-low light environments. Most feature advanced technologies such as digital noise reduction, ultra-low-light illumination, Smart infrared (IR), motorised varifocal lenses, IP66 rating, and vandal-proof housings. A 5 MP fisheye model will be available soon.

The Turbo HD 3.0 DVR products are available in 1/1.5/2U sizes, supporting camera input with up to 5 p;MP resolution. The units could fit in different applications from small to large scale, with ONVIF-compliant IP cameras supported for necessary system expansion.

The Turbo HD 3.0 solution offers seamless compatibility with the majority of products from other manufacturers.
