Professionals just like you are asking how to reduce the overall system cost for upgraded and new IP video systems without compromising image clarity as new HD cameras are available.
The first place to start is at the IP camera...the source of most problems related to storage cost. Reduce bandwidth and you reduce storage cost. The challenge is that as IP cameras increase in resolution capability, so does the bandwidth and storage consumption.
Bandwidth = Storage = Cost
So, how do you keep systems cost down yet take advantage of the camera's full resolution? This short video underscores the importance of IP camera bandwidth reduction.
Now that you understand the reason that the reduction of IP camera bandwidth matters, learn more here about how to leverage Content Based Imaging Technology (CBIT) for your next upgrade or new IP video system.
