The Hype

About Hybrids
 What is the Hype?
Hype - Everything is going IP

Some Facts
• 90% of Camera Sales are Analog
• This is forecast to reduce to 50% by 2011
• 40% of IP Cameras sold today are integrated
with Analog Cameras
 What is A Hybrid DVR?
What WE mean is a DVR that can Record, Playback, View
and Control Analog Cameras as well as :-

IP Streams from DV-IP Encoders & Codecs

AND Megapixel Cameras

AND Selected 3rd. Party IP Cameras

AND Server-to-Server viewing and recording

Features of NetVu Connected technology that give

unrivalled levels of seamless interoperability
 A NetVu Connected
Hybrid DVR in Action
A single static or PTZ
analog camera,
connected to the DV-
IP Encoder.

NetVu ObserVer
PC Client

A NetVu Connected DVR

can view and record analog
and IP streams seamlessly.
 Benefits of Hybrid DVRs
• Uniform User interface
– Across all camera types, analog and IP – static and PTZ
• Continues use of Analog cameras
– Still cheaper and will be so for some time to come
• Protect Investment
– Cameras & Lenses, Cabling and Control Equipment
• Picture Quality
– Analog has resolution limit
– Analog signals suffer loss and interference
– Megapixel cameras offer very high resolution
 Issues to Consider
• Latency
– Processing delays can make switching and PTZ less ‘responsive’
• Network Traffic
– Need to manage Bandwidth
– Record at ‘Edge-of-Network’ has major benefits
– Busy networks may suffer dropped frames and sticky images
• Distance
– Ethernet cable runs 100m before repeating
– Coaxial/Twisted Pair can go further (with correct cable)
– Wi-Fi needs no cable
