Closed-circuit television viewable over the internet is one solution to a myriad of problems. From security to childcare, weather alert to scientific studies, high quality web-viewable video means you can observe your cameras from anywhere that you can get an internet connection.

ProActive can provide a system of cameras which are nearly invisible, in sizes as small as 20mm x 30mm, or smaller than a matchbook. The software installed with the system allows zooming, scrolling, and highlighting of critical areas. The images can be viewed in real time, and are recorded and timestamped, and are suitable for security, legal prosecutions and internal controls. Some details are provided below, but for a full description and detailed specs, please contact ProActive.

System Highlights

Simultaneous Full Speed Live Video Display for All Channels on VGA & TV Monitors: VGA monitors are limited to a few feet from the computer; now you can connect and view all video channels on a regular TV monitor with the same view as you would on your VGA screen. This means you can now also view all videos refreshing at full 30 fps each at a longer distance from the PC.

Separate Video Paths & Text Overlays for Display & Recording: This allows you to set a fixed resolution for recording while you can display live videos on the VGA & TV monitors at whatever resolution that will fit the screen at their best resolution and quality possible.

All Video Channels Synchronized with Individual Decoders: Many low cost capture cards uses one video decoder to support multiple video channels. This is done and by switching to another video signal after one channel is captured. To maximize the switching speed, the software doesn't usually have enough time for the new video signal to settle fully before capturing, resulting in poor quality video. This method also results in videos appearing shifting up and down randomly. The Video Catcher Full Speed capture cards do not require any switching channels and therefore ensures excellent video quality.

Digital Video Filters and Enhancements: Regardless which compression technology is being used, noisy video makes compression difficult because the compression algorithm cannot identify noise from real video. Another important step to improve video quality is to provide noise filter and edge enhancement that provides cleaner video for better video compression and improves object identification.

On Board Real Time Clock with Battery Backup as Option: Many CCTV systems suffer from clock slow downs due to heavy burden on the CPU with multiple DMA and Interrupt activities. These activities result in incorrect time stamp that can ruin the data as valid evidence in court. To solve this dilemma, using an on board real time clock guarantees correct times for as long as you own the equipment.
