CCTV Surveillance

Do you know the difference in performance with MPEG4 and H.264 ?

Midcoast Security has been using H.264 codecs since Febuary 2008 with version 8.2 of Geovision dvr systems.

The H.264, also known as MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Coding), is a video compression

standard that offers significantly greater compression than its predecessor.

The H.264 standard is expected to offer up to twice the compression of the current MPEG-4 ASP

(Advanced Simple Profile), in addition to improvements in perceptual quality.

The H.264 standard can provide DVD-quality video, and is considered promising for full-motion

video over network connection.

There is no other DVR that compares to the future rich GEOVISION systems.

Built upon comprehensive and easy-to-integrate hardware and supporting technologies, the GV-Surveillance and Video Management Platform is the core system platform that provides performance-optimized video monitoring and various advanced video analytics/control features to support many of enterprise’s management functions. It is a scalable, extensible platform that can be customized and seamlessly integrated with other security system applications, such as:

  1. POS/ ATM/ EAS for loss prevention
  2. Access Control for building automation
  3. License Plate Recognition system for law enforcement, entrance control and revenue collection
  4. Megapixel IP devices for critical area and mobile object monitoring
  5. Central Monitoring stations for high profile security areas in commercial, industrial and residential markets

In addition the remote management WebCam and versatile storage system framework offer high scalability and extensibility for future integration with other functions or systems at remote sites.
