What constitutes high-end digital video? Campus settings, multiple networked sites, Fortune 1000 companies or government facilities could all fall under the “high-end” digital application. The Colorado-based, Loronix, associates low-end video with low frame rates and poor compression methods, whereas high-end video can activate an alarm on behavioral recognition, for example. Features such as frame rate, compression, storage and scalability are important.
“High-end applications will tend to require very large storage capacities, advanced networking capabilities and options available to support unique integration, such as audio and data capture,” says Carl Bracken, central region sales manager, Sanyo Security Products.
