High-definition (HD) and 4K video surveillance cameras have become the new standard, offering enhanced image quality and monitoring. Yet with these improvements comes an increase in bandwidth, which can overwhelm the network and storage infrastructure.

Now a new video compression standard is gaining traction, with the promise of providing up to 50% in bandwidth and storage savings. And the good news for installers is that it's protected against becoming obsolete with backwards compatibility as it gains wider acceptance.

H.265 compression and noise reduction technology assist in low-ering overall costs for video surveillance solutions. This will become progressively imperative as organizations increasingly deploy sys-tems that provide higher resolution data feeds, which can increase both bandwidth and storage requirements.

H.265 TO UNSEAT H.264Video surveillance manufacturers are layering their own compres-sion algorithms on top of industry standards like H.265. The goal is to optimize storage and bandwidth by recording higher-resolution video only where certain activities are detected.

Dahua Technology, with U.S. headquarters in Irvine, Calif., is an example of a forward-thinking vendor that is transitioning its vid-eo surveillance portfolio to ensure its products are future-proofed when the industry and end customers are ready to fully embrace this latest compression standard.

H.265 is facing the very same barriers to entry that its predeces-sor, H.264, did. Specifically, when the industry moves to adopt a new encoding algorithm, VMS providers in turn will have to support it. That transition is not yet taking place among most major VMS pro-viders. It’s noteworthy that Dahua’s own VMS does support H.265.

NEW FORM FACTORS WITH SMART H.265+As of November 2016, all of Dahua’s new product releases included dual codec support for H.265 and H.264. Additionally, some products now include Smart H.265+, featuring a collection of intelligent encod-ing algorithms developed by Dahua as an optimized implementation of the H.265 standard. As a result, an additional savings on bandwidth and storage of 20%-30% over standard H.265 compression is realized.

“Dahua is committed to bringing the newest technologies to the market, so we’re pleased to announce a wide range of cameras with Smart H.265+,” says Jennifer Hackenburg, senior product marketing manager for Dahua USA. “With Dahua’s optimized Smart H.265+,

these cameras represent significant bandwidth, storage and energy savings. And they’re future-proof with an H.264/H.265 dual-codec for backwards compatibility.”

All Dahua Smart H.265+ cameras provide users the flexibility to toggle between the codecs, so they do not have to reinvest in new products once H.265 technology is widely accepted. This includes Smart H.265+, H.265, Smart H.264+, H.264 and MJPEG.

With Intelligent Video System (IVS) analytics, Dahua Smart H.265+ cameras can detect and analyze moving objects for more efficient video surveillance. The cameras also provide intelligence at the edge, allowing recognition of abandoned or missing objects, and support tripwire, motion detection, scene change, intrusion de-tection and facial detection.

To ensure the latest standard can be used in products across dif-ferent platforms, Dahua has built flexibility into Smart H.265+. Op-erators can configure the codec to tailor the encoding for a particu-lar application or scene, adding flexibility and sophisticated image enhancement. Smart H.265+ technology is said to reduce bitrate and storage requirements by up to 80% compared to H.264 video compression, vastly improving the overall system capital expendi-ture (Capex) and operating expenditure (Opex).

Following is a look at Dahua’s current Smart H.265+ camera offering. Pro Series:• 2MP (N24) and 4MP (N44) fixed dome, bullet, wedge and

eyeball options• 2MP (N25) and 4MP (N45) vari-focal dome, bullet and box optionsUltra Series:• 12MP (NK8) dome, bullet and box options• 8MP (N84) fixed dome, bullet and eyeball options• 6MP (N68) vari-focal dome and bullet options

STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVEInstalling security contractors are strongly urged to keep abreast of the industry’s transition to H.265 in order to best serve their end customers’ security, organizational and budgetary requirements. Keeping pace with additional enhancements to H.264’s eventual successor will only further position integrators as their clients’ go-to subject matter expert.

For a much deeper dive into the feature sets and benefits of-fered by Smart H.265+, be sure to check out SSI’s March issue for a four-page special insert titled “Video Compression Reaching New Heights With H.265” or visit securitysales.com/Smart_H.265.

With video resolutions on the rise, integrators are migrating to the latest H.265 standard to better optimize storage and bandwidth.

As a systems integrator, what’s the biggest advantage you can provide for your video surveillance customers? Greater situation-al awareness at all times. Today’s advanced multi-sensor camera technologies deliver a multitude of benefits — not only for the in-tegrators who install the systems but to the end users who operate them. Here’s a closer look at why everyone stands to profit.

ATTRACTIVE COST SAVINGS AHEADIntegrators and end users can surely appreciate the budgetary bene-fits that deploying multi-sensor surveillance cameras provide. For the customer, a multi-sensor camera can do the job of several cameras. That means fewer cameras to purchase, fewer cameras to have in-stalled, fewer cameras to monitor, fewer cameras to maintain, and fewer recordings to sift through … phew! Additionally, end users will typically need only one VMS license for the multiple sensors rather than having to purchase multiple licenses for separate cameras.

For integrators, pitching products that will yield a lower total cost of ownership over their lifetime is just one of the perks. You also benefit from savings — on your own installation time having to run less cabling as well as rolling fewer trucks for maintenance work. Meanwhile, another value-add of housing one camera as op-posed to numerous units for a particular coverage area is a more aesthetically pleasing, cleaner installation. No more messy clusters of cameras to clutter up a building or corridor.

FANTASTIC FEATURES FAVOR MULTI-SENSORSWider area coverage, high resolution multi-megapixel images, intel-ligent analytics at the edge, pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) capabilities, H.265 high efficiency video coding, low-light performance, indoor/outdoor usage … there are multiple reasons to relish the comprehensive func-tionality of today’s state-of-the-art multi-sensor video cameras.

The key advantage of using multi-sensors is the increased over-all situational awareness, because they offer a wider field of view — most often 180° and 360° — so operators can easily comprehend and react more quickly to what’s happening in a full scene without having to switch between channels, or be hindered by eye fatigue. But here’s where the quality of the camera can make even greater impact, because accurate, seamless stitching is the biggest feature integrators should look for. Would your customers prefer one seam-lessly flowing image where no detail goes unnoticed, or a choppy one that looks like three side-by-side images?

SOLUTIONS THAT FIT THE BILLDahua Technology USA has integrators and end users covered. Along with its 6MP HD Multi-Lens Panoramic Network IR Bullet Camera, the company recently introduced two additional multi-sensor mod-

els: the All-in-One that combines eight 2MP sensors and 37x PTZ for a 360° field of view (a 180° version is on the way, too); and the HDCVI 3.0 6MP Panoramic IR Bullet Camera, the industry’s first multi-sensor for coaxial infrastructure.

The auto-tracking and PTZ abilities of the All-in-One enable operators to effectively utilize one monitor for situational overview boosted by a second monitor for zooming and tracking. The camer-as offer a bit of future-proofing and more potential savings, too, as they include H.265-ready dual codec and simple toggle switch that allows them to move from H.264 when ready — and realize savings in bandwidth and storage.

MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS CAN TAKE ADVANTAGECustomers in various vertical markets can capitalize on multi-sen-sor video surveillance cameras. The panoramic view can deliver de-tailed coverage for wide-open spaces such as sports stadiums and city centers, for instance. Additionally, the embedded IR in Dahua’s multi-sensor cameras enables customers to feel confident about their facilities’ guard against nighttime vulnerabilities.

For corridors in educational and hospital facilities — like nurse sta-tions often found at the intersection of hallways — the cameras are ideal because they can capture various angles that ordinarily might require several cameras. Multi-sensors earn ROI for retail customers especially, considering they can employ the intelligent analytics such as people-counting and heat-mapping to better determine how peo-ple shop there and where to place products. Plus, user-defined rules can be set up with the analytics so operators can be more effective and receive automatic alerts to augment their monitoring.
