Steady development welcomes the beautiful spring of high-definition monitoring

HD has become a topic of interest in the video surveillance industry in recent years. Some people in the industry say that 2010 is the first year of high-definition, and 2011 will be the year of high-definition promotion. High-definition video is bound to become a big cake in the monitoring market in the next few years. Security video surveillance products have undergone several stages of development in analog, digital and network. They are now entering the high-definition stage with irreversible trends. Of course, network monitoring is still in a good momentum of development. In the past two years, mainstream manufacturers have spared no effort to promote HD.

Since some people once said that 2010 is the first year and 2011 is the promotion year, at least everyone should think that the development of high-definition surveillance products has matured. This can be regarded as the promotion year. However, according to the author's visit, the full-line development of the HD is far less than we expected, "every side is beautiful."

There are a lot of opinions about the high-definition standard. It is difficult to unify the belief that both the engineering firm and the manufacturer are very distressed about the issue of high-definition standards. Today, when monitoring manufacturers are everywhere, when facing a new development opportunity, I think it can be quite calm or a few companies. Because everyone knows that the phrase "opportunities are not waiting for people" may have missed one step and will be left behind by the high-definition market. So there has been a variety of high-definition each, do not have a unified industry standards to constrain the interconnection of this product and quality assurance.

Zhang Guofu, manager of Beijing Fubo Tongda Technology Co., Ltd., disclosed to the author that it should be said that the security market is very large now, and the HD market is very large, but there are not many unique products. The current situation is that each manufacturer does its own job and lacks a unified standard. Now when we ask what is high definition, after we think about it, we will simply answer: "HD network monitoring," and other things may not be able to say anything specific. Therefore, the full-scale promotion and application of high-definition still requires a process, and we are all too impatient.

High-definition system integration is the focus of high-definition development. Guangzhou Longzhou Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. Manager Huang Yaoming said: "From the perspective of analog security equipment, the so-called high-definition, it will be a set of system development, there will be high-definition There are network transmission methods, not just the high-definition development of a high-speed ball, and it is a development of the digital direction.If you want high-definition, you need to integrate the whole system with high-definition, you must do high-definition front-end equipment, high-definition transmission, back-end storage Display device HD." I believe this statement also said the voice of the majority of high-definition monitoring equipment manufacturers. In the face of this huge market demand, only blind pursuit of high-definition front-end equipment, for the overall high-definition system, in fact, there is no power. When many engineering companies are not satisfied with the high-definition equipment night imaging effect, manufacturers may have to think about how to make the system integrated high-definition, high-definition development of a single link, always feel powerless.

Huang also pointed out that this point, leading companies Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, from the previous year to last year has been promoting high-definition, absolutely can not hear pure high-definition products, they are equipped with the camera's high-definition, hard disk recorder HD, and configuration The display device is also high definition. The concept of full digitalization is an advanced concept for the people. It seems that China's security companies seem to have found the direction of high-definition efforts.

The barriers and thresholds of technology are yet another obstacle to the development of HD. In the product series and support, whether the camera series is complete or whether the supporting facilities are complete will directly affect the application and popularity of millions of digital high-definition cameras. Only the 3A that controls the camera can be affected. And other key technologies (automatic gain control, automatic white balance, autofocus) can only introduce a full range of digital cameras with various features and varieties to meet the different application needs of the project. Millions of high-definition surveillance back-end equipment pure digital video recorder PDVR (or NVR), hybrid DVR, etc. than the traditional threshold of traditional DVR technology is much higher, requiring a higher VGA output resolution and higher decoding and processing performance, hardware The structure is also much more complicated than the traditional DVR, so only a few DVR manufacturers in China can successfully make millions of high-definition back-end recording devices. In some millions of HD surveillance projects, video wall is usually required, and millions of high-definition video walls do not use matrix or traditional decoding and decoding boxes, but need millions of high-definition dedicated wall decoding devices. Because the resolution of current high-definition LCD monitors is generally as high as 1080P, there is an urgent need for matching video front-ends and recording devices, and it is also possible that two million HDs can give HD monitors the best value, otherwise traditional D1 devices are also used. , then it wastes the effect of high-definition LCD monitor. In terms of the lens, the space available for millions of HD lenses is too small, and the price is relatively expensive, which also affects the rapid popularity of millions of HD. In addition, it is worth mentioning that, in addition to technology and support, there is an important point, that is, the bias and correct guidance of millions of high-definition awareness of ideas, which requires domestic companies with millions of high-definition technology to jointly promote it. In response to this, Wen Jun, video security product manager of Sony China Professional Systems Group's application business marketing department, said: "The application base of high-definition is networked video surveillance. Currently, networked surveillance services have a limited share in China's overall security market. It is related to the immature development of China's surveillance market, and it is because network monitoring does not have the "killer" technological superiority compared with traditional analog products. Therefore, only by developing high-definition technologies and solving the problems that limit their development, can we make the network High-definition video surveillance has won the market, and data from global surveys show that in recent years, the network surveillance market has grown at a rapid pace and the market share of traditional analog surveillance products has remained stable.”

The development of cameras from analog to digital, up to now millions of high-definition cameras, this is the market development, the survival of the fittest is an inevitable trend, but the popularity of high-definition cameras will also go through a process, just as the market will have an acceptance process. Security personnel should do thorough market research to understand the needs of the market, to tap the appreciation space brought by enterprises in the high-definition era, and to bring advanced technology to engineering companies to bring more quality safe living environment to society.
