Multipix MP-HH series IP camera User Guide updated and improved |
|
| Multipix MP-HH series IP camera user manuals is a useful tool, helping you to easily and conveniently operate the camera well. Since last month we made out one new H.264 HDTV IP PTZ camera MP-HH600 and upgraded with the new version of hardware firmware, as we as improved the bi-audio function in security application. We updated and improved the MP-HH User Manuals. | |
| Compression Format | |
| Multipix now is adopting the most advanced video compression, H.264 High Profile. Meanwhile, we already have full ling H.264 IP camera ranging from 1080p, 720p to 480p IP camera. However, on market there are more IP cameras encoded by other video compressions. Check below to know more about the video compression formats: | |

Motion JPEG Motion JPEG or M-JPEG is a digital video sequence that is made up of a series of individual JPEG images. (JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.) When 16 image frames or more are shown per second, the viewer perceives motion video. Full motion video is perceived at 30 (NTSC) or 25 (PAL) frames per second. One of the advantages of Motion JPEG is that each image in a video sequence can have the same guaranteed quality that is determined by the compression level chosen for the network camera or video encoder. The higher the compression level, the lower the file size and image quality. In some situations, such as in low light or when a scene becomes complex, the image file size may become quite large and use more bandwidth and storage space. To prevent an increase in the bandwidth and storage used, Axis network video products allow the user to set a maximum file size for an image frame. Since there is no dependency between the frames in Motion JPEG, a Motion JPEG video is robust, meaning that if one frame is dropped during transmission, the rest of the video will not be affected. Motion JPEG is an unlicensed standard. It has broad compatibility and is popular in applications where individual frames in a video sequence are required—for example, for analysis—and where lower frame rates, typically 5 frames per second or lower, are used. Motion JPEG may also be needed for applications that require integration with systems that support only Motion JPEG. The main disadvantage of Motion JPEG is that it makes no use of any video compression techniques to reduce the data since it is a series of still, complete images. The result is that it has a relatively high bit rate or low compression ratio for the delivered quality compared with video compression standards such as MPEG-4 and H.264. |

MPEG-4 |
|
|
H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC H.264, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC for Advanced Video Coding, is the latest MPEG standard for video encoding. H.264 is expected to become the video standard of choice in the coming years. This is because an H.264 encoder can, without compromising image quality, reduce the size of a digital video file by more than 80% compared with the Motion JPEG format and as much as 50% more than with the MPEG-4 standard. This means that much less network bandwidth and storage space are required for a video file. Or seen another way, much higher video quality can be achieved for a given bit rate. |
|
| H.264
was jointly defined by standardization organizations in the
telecommunications (ITU-T’s Video Coding Experts Group) and IT
industries (ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group), and is expected
to be more widely adopted than previous standards. In the video
surveillance industry, H.264 will most likely find the quickest
traction in applications where there are demands for high frame
rates and high resolution, such as in the surveillance of highways,
airports and casinos, where the use of 30/25 (NTSC/PAL) frames per
second is the norm. This is where the economies of reduced bandwidth
and storage needs will deliver the biggest savings. H.264 is also expected to accelerate the adoption of megapixel cameras since the highly efficient compression technology can reduce the large file sizes and bit rates generated without compromising image quality. There are tradeoffs, however. While H.264 provides savings in network bandwidth and storage costs, it will require higher performance network cameras and monitoring stations. |

| TOPIC OF THIS MONTH | |
| Full HD 1080p for surveillance application | |
|
As the growth in the consumer market for
HDTV is impressive. This development is now starting to have an
impact on the video surveillance market, as customers ask for higher
image quality standard. It can be argued that some of these
requirements can be met with megapixel network cameras. However the
notion of “megapixel” is not a recognized standard but rather an
adaptation of the industry’s best practices and it refers
specifically to the number of image sensor elements of the digital
camera. With high resolution follows huge amounts of image data,
which more often than not leads to compromises on frame rate. A
megapixel camera alone is therefore not synonymous with high image
quality. In contrast, a network camera that complies with any of the given HDTV standards is guaranteed to provide a certain resolution, frame rate and color fidelity, thereby ensuring video quality at all times. Working with progressive scan, network cameras with HDTV performance deliver true color representation and clear images even if the object is moving fast. This makes it a highly attractive solution for surveillance operations where greater image detail is required, such as at retail stores, airports, passport controls, casinos and highways. Consequently, a similar trend can already be seen in the traditional video surveillance market. HDTV-compliant network cameras deliver a resolution, color representation, 16:9 aspect ratio and frame rate that are in accordance with international standards, making them an appealing solution in surveillance situations that require high quality images. For these full-HD models offer pictures with finer detail and more subtle colours, It is the perfect solution for surveillance areas where high quality identification is needed, such as airports, passport controls etc. |

| LKK Shopping Mall in Philippines | |
 Mission Limketkai Mall (LKK) is a landmark in Cagayan de Oro not because that it is now modern and huge but it has always been identified as a homegrown commercial destination in the city. Everyday, hundreds and thousands of people are around there especially on weekend or holiday. Since increasing potential for crime at its store, one effective, efficient surveillance system is essential for LKK to manage its vast shopping mall. In addition to improved security to prevent theft, LKK wanted a solution that could have sharp details of the image. Solution LKK decided a more advanced, IP-based video surveillance system would be the best solution for its extensive requirements, and chose MP264HS series Network Cameras for their superior price-performance. Because MP264HS series are all encode by H.264 compression, performing crystal DVD image quality and could video output up to 1280*720 high resolution. The video management platform was Multipix MPWEB NVR, supporting 64ch software.
More effective marketing and
performance appraisal
The Multipix MP264HS-200, a
professional network camera for indoor monitoring, provides superior
image quality and flexibility compared to LKK's previous
analog-based security system. The camera connects directly to an IP
network and enables remote monitoring over a local area network or
the Internet using a standard web browser. Using |
