resolution, enabling cameras to perform more accurate video analysis. Aspeed presented how best to perform server management, desktop virtualization and surveillance processing.
HD was the emphasis for Hisilicon and Grain Media. Grain Media not only focuses on network cameras, but plans to expand to hybrid DVRs and NVRs.
Solution design was an emphasis for product development. Stretch spoke on the importance of integration, video analytics and image processing.
Xilinx highlighted effective processor performance, even with lower power consumption. From the HDcctv perspective, Gennum explained how transmission can be extended for HD images.
Storage plays a crucial role in video surveillance, providing effective and reusable evidence. HDD and solid-state disks (SSD) work to provide effective recording. “A good SSD is worth every penny,” said Alex Kuo, President of Memoright. Both speed and performance determine the quality and scalability of storage. Innodisk stressed how different applications require individual SSD solutions. Western Digital, which announced its intent to purchase HDD competitor Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, further elaborated on the challenges of HD storage.
The last session of CompoSec was closed by NXP. RFID usage, ranging from automotive, identification, wireless infrastructure, lighting, industrial, mobile, consumer and computing applications, was discussed. The presentation looked at how the technology could be used in the future.
Secutech 2011 proved to be Asia's top annual security show. Combining technologies, conferences and networking opportunities, the exhibition is consistently the most professional platform for security in the region.
