Turbo your analogue

September 2014 News & Events

Analogue CCTV users can now enjoy HD resolution while safeguarding their investment in existing cabling infrastructure with Hikvision’s Turbo HD Analogue. This technology supports latency-free 1080p HD over up-to 500 metres of coaxial cable and offers seamless compatibility with traditional SD cameras, Hikvision IP cameras and HDTVI-compliant cameras and DVRs. At launch, the Turbo HD product family consists of a 32-strong range of Hikvision DVRs and 720p/1080p cameras, including bullet, dome, PTZ dome, turret, varifocal, vandalproof and low-light units.

The Hikvision Turbo HD product family is based on HDTVI (High Definition Transport Video Interface) technology and is suited to upgrading existing standard definition systems at low cost. It retains the ease-of-use of an analogue system while offering up to 1080p HD video output.

All Hikvision Turbo HD products adhere to the HDTVI open standard, which guarantees trouble-free connection to other HDTVI-compliant cameras and DVRs. The Hikvision Turbo HD DVRs can also connect with traditional SD analogue cameras and all Hikvision Turbo HD cameras can access third-party DVRs equipped with HDTVI technology from other manufacturers.

The Hikvision Turbo HD DVR offers simultaneous connections to network, analogue and Turbo HD cameras, auto-detecting the incoming signal and recording accordingly. This means that existing systems can be upgraded simply by replacing the current cameras and DVR while new areas may be covered with the addition of IP network cameras.

HDTVI technology guarantees up to 500 m of high quality and reliable transmission at 720p / 1080p via coaxial cable. A conventional analogue solution will struggle to achieve this resolution while HD-SDI solutions are limited in terms of long distance capability. In addition, the Turbo HD Analogue solution supports UTC for remote set up and configuration and enables control of the OSD menu and PTZ control via coaxial cable. This means that users no longer have to go to the camera to make changes and enables much faster and easier camera installation and management.

According to Keen Yao, international marketing director of Hikvision, “Turbo HD is a high-tech tour-de-force in zero-latency, long distance HD-over-coax that demonstrates our commitment to pushing the boundaries of CCTV technology. Until recently, the only option for HD CCTV resolution was the wholesale adoption of IP cameras and their associated technology. Now, with the launch of the Hikvision Turbo HD Analogue solution, users can enjoy 720p/1080p without even upgrading to IP or even replacing their existing cabling structure.”

Hikvision remains in pole position

For the third consecutive year, Hikvision was ranked as the world’s largest CCTV and video surveillance equipment provider in 2013 with a dominant 10.9% market share. This is up by more than a third, from 8% in 2012, according to the latest report from IHS.

In a year of significant achievements, Hikvision maintained or gained position in every market segment. Its most striking success was becoming the top hardware NVR manufacturer from not being in the top 10 in 2012. In addition, Hikvision maintained its position as global DVR leader for the fifth consecutive year, gained two places to become the world’s No. 1 supplier of security cameras with an 11.9% market share, and rose one place to be No. 2 in network security cameras with a 13% share of the market. As for the VMS category, it achieved third having risen from fifth place in 2012.

“This outstanding performance across the board serves, once again, to prove Hikvision’s continuing dedication to innovation and excellence in all aspects of video surveillance products. It’s also evidence of the success of Hikvision’s international marketing strategy and in-depth local customer services,” says Polo Cai, VP at Hikvision.
