The Hype About Hybrids
What is the Hype? Hype - Everything is going IP Some Facts • 90% of Camera Sales are Analog • This is forecast to reduce to 50% by 2011 • 40% of IP Cameras sold today are integrated with Analog Cameras
What is A Hybrid DVR? What WE mean is a DVR that can Record, Playback, View and Control Analog Cameras as well as :IP Streams from DV-IP Encoders & Codecs AND Megapixel Cameras AND Selected 3rd. Party IP Cameras AND Server-to-Server viewing and recording Features of NetVu Connected technology that give unrivalled levels of seamless interoperability
A NetVu Connected Hybrid DVR in Action A single static or PTZ analog camera, connected to the DVIP Encoder.
NetVu ObserVer PC Client
A NetVu Connected DVR can view and record analog and IP streams seamlessly.
Benefits of Hybrid DVRs • Uniform User interface – Across all camera types, analog and IP – static and PTZ
• Continues use of Analog cameras – Still cheaper and will be so for some time to come
• Protect Investment – Cameras & Lenses, Cabling and Control Equipment
• Picture Quality – Analog has resolution limit – Analog signals suffer loss and interference – Megapixel cameras offer very high resolution
Issues to Consider • Latency – Processing delays can make switching and PTZ less ‘responsive’
• Network Traffic – Need to manage Bandwidth – Record at ‘Edge-of-Network’ has major benefits – Busy networks may suffer dropped frames and sticky images
• Distance – Ethernet cable runs 100m before repeating – Coaxial/Twisted Pair can go further (with correct cable) – Wi-Fi needs no cable

Connecting 3rd Party IP Cameras
Selected third party IP cameras supported on NetVu Connected servers NetVu ObserVer can be used to view all cameras and 3rd party IP cameras on the DS2, but cannot view 3rd party IP cameras directly
Digital IP camera streams viewed on analog composite monitors
Supported third party IP camera telemetry is either controlled remotely using NetVu ObserVer or locally via a suitable interface.
