Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative
video surveillance products and solutions, supplied digital video
monitoring technology solutions to the Museum for East Asian Art in
Cologne – thus paving the way for entry into the age of HD-TVI. The
museum previously had analogue cameras and an analogue recorder in
place. The image quality of the recordings was poor and rewinding and
fast-forwarding recordings turned out to be complicated. The museum was
looking for a more modern and flexible solution to circumvent these
difficulties. So a hybrid digital video recorder and a new hard disk
drive from Hikvision were installed, providing the museum with a more
cutting-edge video monitoring solution.

drive from Hikvision were installed, providing the museum with a more
cutting-edge video monitoring solution.
Analogue devices leading to a loss of information
The
analogue camera technology used at the Museum for East Asian Art left
much to be desired as far as quality and efficiency were concerned.
Images were monochrome and blurred, and individuals could not be
correctly identified. Recordings were stored on VHS cassettes. Reviewing
individual recordings turned into a complicated affair requiring
laborious rewinding and fast-forwarding. Those in charge had to deal
with a loss of information, since the recorder could not play recordings
and continue to record at the same time. Only the recorder and the hard
disk were to be replaced in the first stage, with the earlier analogue
cameras continuing to be used. The new recorder therefore needed to
allow connections to both analogue devices and newer digital devices in
future.
High-performance recorder from Hikvision replaces analogue technology
The
customer chose the digital video recorder from Hikvision, since it
fulfilled all the requirements. It ensures clear colour recordings, both
day and night. Individual recorded sequences can now be easily reviewed
without the need to rewind of fast-forward - even from other locations.
For example, thanks to the networking capabilities of the device,
museum management can gain access to the recorder and view the
recordings using an external PC. The museum does not experience any loss
of information because the recorder continues to record while previous
recordings are being viewed. Moreover, the recorder can be connected to
both analog as well as digital equipment.
Hybrid recorder from Hikvision scores through its cutting-edge technology
The
biggest advantage was, and remains, the cutting-edge nature of the new
technology. The hybrid recorder allows the Museum for East Asian Art to
easily replace its analogue cameras using the more modern HD-TVI
technology and to connect to the recorder without having to upgrade
cable infrastructure.
“The changeover of video
technology from analogue to digital was cost-effective and ensures high
quality recordings. In addition, the Museum for East Asian Art is now
equipped for the future, thanks to high-resolution solutions for video
monitoring”, says Nikolay Gassner, Managing Director at König
Audio-Video-Technik and dealer partner of Hikvision.
Further
upgrades to the customer’s monitoring system are quick and easy,
offering a very good cost-benefit ratio, affording the customer the
opportunity to make a full-fledged move to the world of the HD image.
