Stepping Into the Future: 4K Ultra HD Security Camera Systems
Stepping Into the Future: 4K Ultra HD Security Camera Systems
As 2015 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how the security industry has evolved — and where it’s headed in 2016.
The trend toward higher resolutions continues to grow, and here at Security Surveillance System™ (SSS), we’re taking a major leap forward with 4K Ultra HD technology. Just a few years ago, 720p cameras were the most popular choice for HD security. Soon after, 1080p became the industry standard. Now, we’re proud to introduce 4K Ultra HD camera systems — offering four times the resolution of Full HD.
With 4K systems, SSS delivers an entirely new level of clarity, coverage, and performance to homes and businesses across Colorado.
Why Upgrade to 4K Ultra HD?
A typical surveillance system faces multiple challenges — moving objects, changing lighting conditions, and limited bandwidth for video transmission. Our 4K Ultra HD solutions overcome these challenges by combining high resolution, intelligent image processing, and efficient data management.
As a result, you can monitor larger areas, identify distant objects, and collect sharper evidence with ease.
Incredible Detail and Performance
Our 4K Ultra HD cameras offer 8–12 megapixel resolution, providing crystal-clear detail even when zoomed in. With a frame rate of 20 fps at 12MP and up to 30 fps at 4K, these systems capture fast-moving objects with precision.
Therefore, whether you’re securing a retail space, school, or government building, you’ll have the detail you need to make confident decisions and perform accurate retrospective analysis.
The wide-angle viewing capability also allows multiple focus points on a single screen — letting you see both the big picture and every fine detail, 24/7.
Smarter, Sharper, and More Efficient
Enhanced Image Quality
Our 4K Ultra HD cameras use intelligent technologies to deliver exceptional quality while reducing operational costs.
-
Intelligent Auto Exposure (IAE): Adjusts front and back-light automatically for perfect exposure in every scene.
-
Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA): Detects and tracks motion, focusing on key events and minimising false alarms.
-
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (IDNR): Cuts bandwidth and storage needs by up to 50% — without sacrificing image quality.
Together, these smart features ensure your footage is clearer, cleaner, and more reliable than ever before.
Greater Awareness and Seamless Integration
Our 4K cameras also improve situational awareness through multi-streaming and region-of-interest technology. You can zoom in on specific areas while maintaining a full overview, transmitting both views simultaneously.
Moreover, automatic tracking ensures that important subjects — such as individuals or vehicles — remain in focus, so you never lose sight of what matters most.
In addition, multi-streaming enables easy integration with third-party video management systems, reducing network strain and making large-scale video management effortless.
Intelligent Video Analysis: Always Alert
Did you know that after just 20 minutes of screen monitoring, the human eye can miss up to 90% of activity?
That’s where Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) comes in. IVA alerts you whenever predefined events or motion patterns occur, allowing for quicker response times and fewer missed incidents.
By combining up to eight IVA rules, even complex tasks become manageable — and false alarms drop to a minimum.
Furthermore, IVA enhances your data by adding metadata, which helps you:
-
Instantly find relevant footage from hours of video
-
Provide irrefutable forensic evidence
-
Optimise operations (e.g., people counting, crowd monitoring)
In short, IVA not only alerts you in real time but also makes video review and analysis faster and more efficient.
4K vs. HD: What’s the Difference?
Resolution | Megapixels | Aspect Ratio | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
4K Ultra HD | 8.3 MP | 16:9 | 4× higher than 1080p |
1080p Full HD | 2.1 MP | 16:9 | Current HD standard |
720p HD | 1.3 MP | 16:9 | Older HD format |
D1 | 0.4 MP | 4:3 | Standard definition |
4K Ultra HD is four times greater than 1080p. This means you can zoom in on a scene and still retain stunning clarity.
For example, 4K systems are perfect for high-traffic environments such as:
-
Hotels and resorts
-
Athletic fields and stadiums
-
Schools and universities
-
Retail centres
-
Government facilities
-
Public transit hubs and tourist areas
