Advantages of Digital CCTV Security
Systems
 Digital
CCTV has many benefits and is sure to have a leading role in all commercial
and domestic environments.
The many advantages of digital CCTV include:
- Digital CCTV allows the user to instantly retrieve
relevant data without going through hours and hours of videotape.
- Digital video images are superior to video recorded
on analog tape. Also, digital video images can be enhanced and
copied virtually endless times without losing their original quality.
- Sharp images can be stored, which can be replayed
over and over without image deterioration.
- Important information can be archived to many
environments including CD-R or DVD for later retrieval even years
down the line.
- You can transmit and retrieve stored data across
town or even across the world. The digital video images can be
remotely viewed, saved, retrieved, displayed, copied, printed,
faxed and even e-mailed.
- The digital CCTV images are stored in a database
that can be searched by camera, time, date, alarm activation or
even motion.
- With digital CCTV, you use no tapes. Analog systems,
on the other hand, require tapes to be replaced, on average, every
three months. Digital storage media has almost an unlimited lifetime.
- There is less of a potential of obsolescence
with digital CCTV because most systems feature software that can
be upgraded with new innovations.
- Perhaps best of all, unlike analog video systems,
in which only about 1 percent of recorded data is usable, with
digital systems, an amazing 50 percent of recorded data is able
to be utilized in the apprehension process due to better indexing
and retrieval.
