Megapixels network camera, slow progress in three major factors restricting the development
Overall, the HD is hot, millions of HD IP Camera technology has matured, but the megapixels video surveillance market has not yet formed the scale, the user is still on the sidelines, more customers in the small-scale testing and the use of phase. HD video surveillance is an emerging market, is facing a huge market, but in practical applications there are a variety of technical and non-technical factors obstacles, face many challenges in the promotion and application.
High cost
The development of digital high-definition is the trend, but the cost problems have hindered the user can not use more megapixels network camera, a key factor to affect the entire million HD IP Camera industry. After the implementation of a set of system is able to make the best use of, and in the end can give users much use? This is the content users are most concerned. Megapixels network camera from a few thousand dollars to several million dollars, high-definition storage, codec, HD LCD display, the entire system build costs discourage ordinary users.
Learned from the factory at the monitoring project, the user should not be blind pursuit of megapixels, and equipment should be selected according to the actual needs of customers, considering the costs and benefits of the entire system architecture. Megapixels network camera can replace several standard-definition camera, and the choice of millions of HD IP Camera just in some key areas, and some areas selected to provide D1, VGA quality equipment can.
It is understood that the well-known manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, LG 600 line and 650-line high-definition analog cameras, Panasonic unveiled during CPSE ultra-high-definition intelligent analysis of the 650 line of the fifth-generation Super Dynamic (SD5) day and night camera WV-CP500 , WV-CP500D, WV-CP500L three series. Analog HD cameras has become more widespread in the short term, a comprehensive cost-effective or has more obvious advantages ", Therefore, the popularity of megapixels network camera a long way to go, manufacturers need to further control costs, and lower prices.
User acceptance
In 2009, the entire market HD sound can no longer hot. After a long period of promotion, millions of HD IP Camera can be very intuitive feeling psychologically, the user has a basic acceptance and understanding for high-definition, but in practice there is a relatively large distance also, "At present, megapixels network camera application projects is still relatively small, and it is difficult to give the user a full range of demonstration effect, in addition to the front end, the user would like to see the effect of a set of systems. Megapixel IP camera is still a relatively new product, application technology is mature, users have to consider the issue.
Current swing between SD and HD, the trend is high-definition, but the market there will be a process of acceptance. Integrators play a key role in the popularity of megapixels network camera manufacturers is difficult to do direct users, is to guide the market, and integrators will need to sync with the market, megapixels network camera need to lead the industry integrators stand up and lead the industry, enhance the user's acceptance. "the promotion of universal mentioned megapixels network camera, Panasonic Zheng Qiang hold this view.
Practical application problems
At present, the most common 130 (720P) megapixel IP camera, ACTi, Axis, Panasonic, Sony have launched a full range of products of the bolt, ball machine, Panasonic, Sanyo and other manufacturers have been based on the 300 million, 400 million pixel network camera, such a high pixel is not really practical value, application base is ripe for it, the ability to meet the actual application environment? It is understood that the current technology is difficult to do a 300 megapixel smooth screen or 5-megapixel low light treatment, these features require higher processing performance inside the camera ISP and SOC at night for more complex monitoring environment is difficult to obtain a clear image, in fact, higher level of security at night than during the day, there are still bottlenecks for bank ATM machines and other areas with a high level of monitoring.
Road monitoring, millions of HD IP Camera for high-speed vehicles also need to capture, real-time personnel facial features and details of the vehicle, bayonet fill light, flash, exposure time, stream mode conversion, not ripe for practical applications.
Before megapixels for high-definition applications, forest fire prevention and other fields is not the case in practical applications. "Megapixels IP Camera pursuit of delicate high-definition picture quality, and ordinary users are more accustomed to the real-time transmission of video full HD and full-time to meet these two requirements for wireless bandwidth, which is too heavy a burden."
From a certain extent in terms of megapixels technology can solve the plague surveillance industry "we can see", but in practical applications, there is also a wide variety of applications in the adjustment of technical problems solved.
Competition and cooperation industry chain manufacturers Steady
IP surveillance trend more and more people accept megapixels as a new trend, more manufacturers into the IP market. Megapixels IP camera appear not only have an impact on the traditional CCTV manufacturers throughout the surveillance industry will be adjusted. It is understood that Hikvision, Dahua DVR manufacturers to IP as an opportunity, through the cooperation with the chip maker, has launched 1.3 million, 2-megapixel network camera. Still optimistic about the analog products Samsung Electronics, has also been planned for March next year, a 1.3-megapixel network cameras, launched a full range of coverage of high school low-end market, and 200 million, 300 million pixels will be launched. As a brand to focus on large-scale production, Samsung Electronics added means megapixels network camera trend is imperative, but also means megapixels network camera-based competition will be more intense.
On the other hand, millions of HD IP Camera complex technical industry chain closer relations of cooperation between the manufacturers. Lens + sensor + to compression processing chip, three are indispensable, you must do so through close cooperation, to improve compatibility with each other, understand each other's characteristics and limitations in order to get a better image quality, "l Mai Technology Liang Jie Kai said. Therefore, lens manufacturers, sensor vendors and chip manufacturers tripartite cooperation and common parameters can be adjusted in order to find the best fit to draw the image of good quality. Adjustment of the compression part, dependent on the chip makers and camera manufacturers in close collaboration with software, the details need closer cooperation on both sides. Chip makers face the issues raised by the camera manufacturers, whether rapid reaction ability to solve problems will become more prominent in the era of millions of HD IP Camera.
