Lilin continues to produce high-quality products, and three major products were on display. The first, the 1080P Full HD Door Station, is a one-button door station with high quality camera and allows direct communication between someone and their visitor. Next, the Day & Night 1080P HD Auto Focus IR IP Camera, is a 2-megapixel IP camera integrates 10x or 20x optical Auto Focus lens to focus or zoom adjustments by clicking on browsers to easily.

Finally, the D/N 1080P AHD IR Camera can transmit data that is not encoded resulting in no process and no delay real time and complete transmission.

A livestream at the BCDVideo booth walked through a partnership with SentryMobile to offer turnkey bodycams for mobile surveillance applications. Video recording and storage have now been made available on mobile cameras, allowing for easy installation with no wait for parts.

BCDVideo also announced a partnership with NVIDIA, another Live From sponsor at the show. NVIDIA, a first time ISC West exhibitor, was promoting the future of AI Cities by leveraging the company’s edge-to-cloud GPU computing platform to create object recognition software. More than a dozen partners displayed recognition software at the booth.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
