In today’s surveillance market we exceedingly judge ourselves by the number of megapixels of a camera. However, when trying to display all of those pixels the reality gets lost. This didn’t stop Avigilon from recently announcing plans for their 29MP camera, and it became apparent that our market is going to continue to run toward megapixel technology regardless of the practical usage. This has some practical business issues. Without hardware technology partners that make Ultra HD displays, workstations, video adapter cards and software, there is no real way to take advantage of these high-end cameras. The industry certainly has figured out the benefits for standard 1080p HD cameras; however, it is still struggling to manage large-scale environments. What is exciting is that including the ecosystem partners’ with 16x multiplier of pixels equates to a 16x multiplier of the system cost.
