Hanwha Techwin America Takes HD Compression to Higher Levels

  • Jan 03, 2017

From SMBs to enterprise level organizations, end users are discovering the myriad of advantages of H.265 compression technology, available in Hanwha Techwin America’s newest video surveillance solutions, the Wisenet P Series and Q Series. The unique combination of Hanwha’s innovative WiseStream Technology and H.265 deliver superior compression which significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements, effectively reducing overall costs while increasing surveillance system performance.

 

“Hanwha is in a unique position to deliver technology innovations as a result of our organic design and product development capabilities which directly translate into overall higher performance, enhanced quality and more functionality for users’ systems,” said Tom Cook, Vice President of Sales, Hanwha Techwin America. “This is exemplified in our exclusive implementation of H.265 and WiseStream compression across our extensive new and forthcoming product lines.”

 

Unmatched in their commitment to setting the standard for high performance surveillance technologies, Hanwha is one of the first in the industry to incorporate H.265 compression into its products. H.265 expands the efficiencies of H.264 compression standard by generating the highest-quality images in the smallest video files possible. The H.265 codec makes 4K and other higher-resolution video more accessible for security applications by improving image quality and lowering bandwidth and storage requirements.

 

H.265 offers significant improvements over previous codecs including a 50% improvement in bit rate compared to the H.264 codec – drastically reducing bandwidth and storage requirements. Other improvements in H.265 technology that improve picture quality include flexible macro blocking from a minimum of 8 x 8 pixels to the maximum of 64 x 64 pixels and reduced video latency.

 

Hanwha’s latest new surveillance introductions – the high performance P Series and the cost-efficient, high quality Q Series – employ a triple codec that enables simultaneous streaming of H.265, H.264 and MJPEG formats. This allows video to be recorded and viewed in different formats and facilitates seamless integration with third-party systems that do not yet support H.265. As a result, users can deploy the latest innovations in camera technology from Hanwha now with seamless migration to H.265 when widespread support is provided.

 

Additionally, by applying Hanwha’s WiseStream technology to H.265 and H.264, users can benefit from significantly reduced bandwidth consumption and storage requirements. WiseStream automatically and dynamically identifies and generates high-quality images of areas of motion within a scene while applying greater compression to background areas. WiseStream can also dynamically adjust the I-Frame interval of video depending on the scene, motion present and network activity.

 

For example, the 4K/UHD Wisenet P Series supports WiseStream and H.265 coding technology to provide large images for video surveillance using the same data bandwidth as a 1080p full HD legacy system using H.264 coding.

 

“The lower bandwidth and storage requirements provided by Hanwha’s unique combination of WiseStream technology and H.265 allows more cameras to be deployed on existing infrastructure, which ultimately increases situational awareness. This is a huge benefit relative to improving overall security and reducing costs from both the end-users’ and integrators’ perspectives,” concluded Mr. Cook.

  • Gaining a Competitive Edge

    Ask most companies about their future technology plans and the answers will most likely include AI. Then ask how they plan to deploy it, and that is where the responses may start to vary. Every company has unique surveillance requirements that are based on market focus, scale, scope, risk tolerance, geographic area and, of course, budget. Those factors all play a role in deciding how to configure a surveillance system, and how to effectively implement technologies like AI. Read Now

    Organizations are realizing that their greatest vulnerability often comes from within – their own people. Human error remains a significant factor in cybersecurity breaches, making it imperative for organizations to address human risk effectively. As a result, security awareness training (SAT) has emerged as a cornerstone in this endeavor because it offers a multifaceted approach to managing human risk. Read Now

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
