Topics for discussion

• What do we see in the market?
• Hot topics
• Vicon Products
• Discussion on what can the transition to IP

3
Analog versus network Cameras

• The majority of manufacturers report 90 of
  camera sales are still analog
• High end projects are experiencing the largest
  shift towards IP

4
Market Trends

• IP video surveillance product sales will increase
  by 200 total between 2010 and 2012,
  significantly disrupting and overtaking analog
  CCTV sales.
• Mainstream 720p/1.3MP cameras cut into the cost
  advantage of analog cameras
• Mainstream hybrid DVRs remove the barriers of
  legacy deployments to migrate to IP
• Maturing IP camera standards will cut costs and
  reduce complexity

5
Megapixel Cameras

• Megapixel camera growth has been estimated by IMS
  to be over 100 per year between 2009 - 2012.
• All major providers of cameras now have megapixel
  cameras in their portfolio
• Megapixel cameras allow users to cover more area
  with a single VMS camera license.
• Significant drops in pricing reduces gap between
  VGA and HD cameras.

Cropping of the image on the sensor
Horizontal

• Pixels can be cropped off at the sensor
• Only required data is sent conserving bandwidth
  and storage

Hot Topics H.264

• There is a lot of hype surrounding H.264
• Decoding
• MPEG4 versus H.264
• VGA versus Megapixel

11
Hot Topics H.264 versus MPEG-4
H.264
MPEG4
JPEG
12
Hot Topics Decoding H.264

• Typical PC can decode only two H.264 D1 30 fps
  streams simultaneously.
• The same PC can decode 10 MPEG4 D1 30 fps
  streams

13
Hot Topics On Board Storage

• Key Benefits
• Network fault tolerance
• Redundant video storage at the edge
• Rapid access to critical video evidence
• Automated video recovery
• These benefits can only be realized if the VMS is
  integrated with the camera archives

14
Hot Topics On-board analytics

• Camera manufacturers are starting to embed
  analytics into the cameras
• People Counting
• Virtual Trip Wires
• License Plate Recognition
• Unfortunately these capabilities are not
  integrated into the video management system

15
Hot Topics PSIA and ONVIF

• With the rapid expansion of IP camera offerings
  by incumbent manufacturers and the ongoing
  development of industry specifications
  (ONVIF/PSIA), the video surveillance industry is
  changing.
• Over the last few months, public validation and
  momentum has been swinging towards ONVIF

16
Hot Topics Complex software license schemes

• The majority of NVR solutions sell per camera
  software licenses
• Each camera requires a complex licensing
  procedure
• Replacement cameras typically require technical
  support from manufacturer in order to replace the
  defective unit.
• Vicon cameras do not require a license to operate
  within ViconNet.
