K1441 ULTICAM DS-852MF-E camera provides MPEG-4 stream. The images can be transmitted at UXGA resolution (1600 x 1200 pixels) and 12.5 fps (the archives available above have been recorded at 8 fps), or at HD720p, SVGA (800 x 600) or lower resolution at 25 fps.

This online application utilizes the built-in RTSP protocol, changed by an external server into FLV stream. The system is capable of providing simultaneous service for up to 100 Internet users.

The camera supports TCP/IP, UDP, RTP, Multicast, PPPoE, RTSP protocols.

IP cameras ULTICAM are manufactured for DIPOL by well-known HIKVISION company, the world's leading supplier of digital video surveillance products (2008 - the largest supplier of IP CCTV equipment based in Asia). HIKVISION is also the producer of the 3rd Generation ULTIMAX DVRs, launched on the European market in January 2008.

2.0 Mpix IP cameras ULTICAM DS-852MF-E K1441 have been chosen to build one of the most advanced video surveillance systems in the world in Tvrdosin in Slovakia. The system employs 8 such cameras. It is managed (monitoring and recording) by ULTISYSTEM software. The system records images from all eight cameras in full 2 Mpix resolution (1600 x 1200). These high-quality images enable the police to identify people and cars. Only during the first week of operation the recordings allowed to catch two thieves and punish undisciplined car driver.

Below there are fragments of two pictures prepared for better identification of two women in the first row. The lower one is close-up of the 2 Mpix picture, the upper fragment has been enlarged from identical view taken by a standard D1(720 x 576) camera. The upper part allows to guess good looks of our colleagues, but only the lower close-up would be taken into account as a tool for identification. The 2.0 Mpix IP camera ULTICAM DS-852MF-E K1441 generates over 12 such images per second.

Comparing standard D1 (720 x 576) camera with 2.0 Mpix IP camera ULTICAM DS-852MF-E K1441, it is easy to calculate that the information provided by the latter device is equivalent to that from 5 standard ones. Formerly, a better coverage of the scene was achieved by using PTZ cameras. However, it required intense work pressure for the operator and caused lack of surveillance out of the zoomed area.

Megapixel cameras are the future of video surveillance of cities, housing developments, stadiums and other sports facilities, industrial plants, schools, and private properties. Quick development of image sensors, efficient processors for compressing video data, surveillance software for managing the systems, recording, and image analysis - is the reason for rapid growth of the number of installed megapixel cameras. Only second-class low-cost monitoring systems are being based on analog cameras, capable of providing images of maximum resolution of 705 x 576 pixels (4CIF/D1) - lower than in the case of the video from Wawel Castle in Krakow. It's worth mentioning that the potential of megapixel cameras is even several times higher - an illustration can be the half-minute recordings of the images captured in the morning, during the day, and at night - full of detail.

DIPOL demonstrated at PRAGOALARM Prague, February 24-26, 2009 modern monitoring systems making a megapixel revolution.

Each year, on the next to last Saturday of June, an open-air event takes place in Krakow, on the Vistula, in remembrance of the Slavic folk custom, popularly known as Wianki.

DIPOL has enabled installation companies to test ULTISYSTEM servers located in Krakow and Gdansk in Poland, and in Florida, USA. The information on how to use this service you can obtain here.

ULTISYSTEM is a unique solution in the world, allowing to integrate local analog CCTV systems with city surveillance based on wired, wireless, and fiber-optic networks. The data is recorded locally on ULTIMAX DVRs and is accessible (in the scope set by the administrator) through IP network. The operator of the city video surveillance system can watch and record the images from analog, IP, and megapixel cameras. The system supports ULTIMAX DVRs and majority of video servers and IP cameras (including megapixel devices) available in the market.

ULTISYSTEM integrates DVRs cooperating with analog cameras and IP devices into one system

ULTISYSTEM was honored at ALARM 2008 in Kielce, Poland

The main functions and features of ULTISYSTEM are described here.

ULTIMAX is a series of 3rd generation digital video recorders, with implemented, so far the most efficient, H.264 compression. This type of deep compression is characterized by capability of providing good video quality at substantially lower bitrates than the previous standards. H.264 compression is described in the ISO 14496-10 standard introducing Advanced Video Coding (AVC). At the same quality level this compression profile allows to double the previous compression rates.

ULTIMAX-716 is the flagship of the series, offering possibility of recording
16 channels at 4CIF (704 x 576) and 25 fps in each channel.

ULTIMAX-716 has won a prestigious award -
Gold Medal of Intertelecom 2008 for the best product

The reasons why the 3G ULTIMAX series makes a turning point in recording video/audio surveillance data from analog cameras you can find out in this article.
