Let’s touch the IP side. No doubt there are plenty of hybrid on the market. Today
most of those systems do either or both of two things: 1) they support 8 or 16 SD
cameras 2) they reduce the number of analog cameras by the number of IP
cameras supported. In the future we can look forward to additional HD camera
support - today we support a substantial use case with our 8 or 16 analog PLUS 2
IP cameras recording either SD or HD video.
The total bandwidth supported is 4 Mbps at a maximum analog load, that is 480/400
IPS and 4 CIF for a DX47800 with 5 client connections. Thought we don’t gain
support for any additional cameras at less than maximum settings, we do gain
additional bandwidth – for example, if recording at only 480 IPS @ CIF, as with the
DX4700, we gain another 1 Mbps; if with only 1 client connection, we gain and
additional 3 Mpbs.
Also on the IP camera side – we support the most important camera line for us –
that is Sarix! We also support Axis – for both lines, SD and HD cameras. For Axis
today, those cameras written to their VAPIX 3 API.
