begin a step-by-step migration to megapixel video while still gaining maximum value from their existing analog video surveillance infrastructure. This is made possible with the introduction of the new DX4700 and DX4800 hybrid video recorders – the latest in the Pelco DX4000 Series of video management solutions.

The DX47/4800 addresses the current top-end of the embedded market – typically occupied by hybrids that are only capable o

This CIF video is still typical of what many CCTV customers experience – the is usable only to tell that the suspect was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and carrying some soft of automatic pistol.

With a 4 CIF image we get a bit better clarity but we still can’t tell if he has a beard or this is just shadow on this face. This video still doesn’t provide any value for identifying the individual robbing the store.

Now at 1.3 megapixel, we start to realize the value of megapixel recording – this individual could easily be identified though the captured video.

From 2 megapixel recording and up – we are going to see value by zooming in from a distance of into small detail – perhaps a real close up look for identifying tattoos, clothing markings or in a difference scenario, across the street to zoom in at a license plate.

Since the DVR/HVR market is fast evolving, the use case for DX47/4800 is very important to understand.

As we stated earlier – the target market is customers who want to leverage the cost advantages of analog, whether for new of existing installs. Customers who want the benefits of the reduced cost of analog cameras, and for who analog cabling has its benefits.

These are the customers that have been exposed to, and want the benefits of, highdefinition IP video. They want to take advantage of this at strategic locations, perhaps entry/exits, cash-counting, or high value merchandise.

The use case extends to Existing Installations who have all the structure of analog in place – all the wiring runs and the cameras. And like the new installations, they want to add the benefits of megapixel into their environments. An important fact worth noting is that we have over 76,000 DX installations to which we can bring this kind of capability!

And that leads us to the last application – a very large base of loyal DX and DS customers, who want to build on their Pelco solution – either as a dealer/integrator, or as a hybrid of systems at an end-customer environment – a university for example that has a variety of these solutions on campus.
