The Digital Surveillance Specialists

Many are predicting that soon, the applications that can be performed at the edge on the device will grow. This is mainly due to the availability of more performing chips and also because the new Video Content Analysis VCA applications will make them less processor-intensive.

So basic analytics will become standard features, and more advanced analytics will be performed “on-board”. This is why, being always at the edge of the technology and with a demanding CCTV market like the Middle-East, Harco is keen to deliver the latest innovations and partnered with Vid-

eoIQ whose all in one camera systems and smart encoders deliver up to full 1080p high-definition video, zero bandwidth recording, and 100 percent self-calibrating Adaptive Analytics.

Unlike conventional IP video surveillance systems which require significant bandwidth and storage, VideoIQ’s

cameras and encoders store video in up to 750GB of onboard storage for months worth of recording, reducing

network traffic and bandwidth consumption by over 90 percent.

Veracity Veracity Outreach Max & Highwire PowerStar OUTREACH Max enables network installers to overcome the distance limitations of Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) easily, meaning that IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE powered net-work devices can be lo-cated right where they are needed. Simply connecting an OUTREACH Max in line with the network cable instantly boosts its range from 100 to 200 meters (656ft) . And because OUTREACH Max is also PoE powered, no local power supply connection is needed.

HIGHWIRE PowerStar lets you install IP cameras eas-ily, quickly, and reliably, with-out the disruption and expense of installing new cable. Support for your camera is assured, thanks to HIGHWIRE's unique full-rate Ethernet over Coax technology, which has been tested and trusted by thousands of IP installers wor ldw ide over the pas t f i ve year s . And now with PoE over Coax, you can deliver up to 25 watts of PoE power to the camera as well, eliminating the complexity of installing local power supplies.
