Competitive
Product |
|
|
|
Purpose
designed for CCTV Market |
CCTV
market an afterthought
no presets, tours, sectors…
|
|
|
|
Drop-in
replacement for exiisting CCTV cameras
• Uses existing infrastructure
• No IT personnel is needed •Plug and Play; all in one unit |
DVR
manufacturer integration required (needs external
PC) |
|
|
|
In-camera
processing both for visualization and intelligence |
3rd
party software must be purchased for additional
intelligent features, which must run on external
device.

|
|
|
85%
of new professional CCTV is analog |
IP
cameras have limited addressable market
|
|
|
|
Replacement
Market size: 99% of installed systems are
analog |
Not
applicable to replacement market

Frame
rate is bandwidth/compression dependent
|
|
|
|
Continuous

Jerky
movement - prone to frame loss

: IN-CAMERA INTELLIGENCE |
|
|
Full
power of IMTERA™ is dedicated to extracting
camera intelligence |
No
intelligence in the camera
|
|
|
|
Processes
the uncompressed raw image at the capture
frame rate |
Image
processing remote from camera causes delays
|
|
|
|
Sophisticated
alarm generation |
Slave
control is not possible from a DVR
|
|
|
|
Distributed
processing is the future:
• Redundancy in alarm generation
• Processes image at higher resolution
|
Resource
limitations at th remote base when analyzing
large images |
|
|
|
|
All
cameras rely on centralized control system
|
|
"In-Camera
processing is critical for distributed CCTV
in the future" |
