HDCCTV spec gives life to legacy surveillance

The HDCCTV Alliance recently released an update to version 1.0 of the HDCCTV Specification for video surveillance.

The HDCCTV specification basically provides the standard that enables megapixel like resolution over traditional coax cabling.  This is huge considering that a majority of the surveillance installations remain coax, not having switched to an IP infrastructure because of cost and comfort level.  In the past, to implement surveillance that deploys megapixel cameras required some level of transition to IP.   Now, legacy surveillance installations (which have lasted for years) have the capability to move to a megapixel like solution, especially for small companies who are faced with smaller budgets and lack of full time IT support.

I am sure there will be plenty to see at ISC West this year.

Of course there’s a storage angle here….more companies having the capability for greater image resolution ultimately means more storage.

Good thing there’s plenty of that to go around.
