A hybrid CCTV solution from Dedicated Micros is capable of recording, streaming and live viewing IP and Analogue cameras from the one video recorder. This makes it possible to take full advantage of evolving features such as video analytics, event controlled functionality and Megapixel Resolution, whilst creating a solution that is not only easy to expand exponentially but can make use of existing, ageing analogue cameras.

The ability to use existing analogue cameras means a solution already in place can simply be upgraded by swapping out the DVR, while running some new IP cameras wherever needed, the existing cameras will carry on recording to the new device. This offers the greater ability to move from an old solution to a full HD IP solution incrementally, as and when the old cameras can be swapped for upgraded IP cameras, having no effect on the DVR’s recording capability.

Dedicated Ice2 HD Analogue camera range offer the additional benefit of delivering 720p HD images, utilising all existing cabling and infrastructure when combined with the enhance SD Advanced. This means during a system upgrade, if the cost of swapping out all of the old analogue cameras and running new IP cabling is cost prohibitive, then the Ice2 cameras provide a cost effective means of delivering those HD images at a fraction of the total price.
