Exacq in Network-Centric Security magazine
Our friends at Security Products magazine have launched a new quarterly supplement entitled Network-Centric Security. The inaugural March 2007 issue features an overview article by editor Steven Titch with some quotes from our own Dave Underwood, president of Exacq.
In discussing the advantages of IP cameras over analog cameras, the article states the following:
“IP cameras were once expensive,” says Dave Underwood, president of Exacq Technologies, Indianapolis, another supplier of NVR software. “The cost is coming down.”
Although when compared heads-up, the price of an IP camera can still be $200 to $300 more than an analog CCTV counterpart, total cost of ownership is lower. That IP cameras do not require their own cabling, but can operate on common Category 5 cable or via wireless is one way they offset the cost of proprietary analog, says Fredrik Nilsson, director of business development at Axis Communications, Lund, Sweden, a camera manufacturer. They also run off the new Power over Ethernet capability, further reducing user costs.
Add to that the value they offer through higher resolution and ability to supply images in low-light conditions, “why would you buy analog?” asks Underwood.
You can read the entire article, as well as the rest of the well-done supplement here (PDF file).
