Indigovision enhances portfolio with SD and quality audio
Edinburgh, UK
“People often think of audio in the security industry as being a niche application.” stated Alex Swanson, Indigovision’s Head of Engineering. “Before, most applications for audio were in a police custody type environment but we’re seeing rising CCTV markets, such as Australia and Brazil, using audio more creatively. We’ve had a number of cities in Latin America using the Indigovision solution as part of “help points” located around the city, where citizens can simply press a button to have instant two-way communication with the central monitoring location. Because the audio in our cameras use advanced audio coding (AAC), it means that you can hear much more than the human voice - gunshots, breaking glass or even footsteps. By adding this functionality into more of our IP cameras, it means we’re now meeting the demands of these markets and making it even easier for remote viewing and communication.”
In addition to audio, the Indigovision SD camera range has had significant video performance improvements resulting in further enhanced video quality and significant storage cost reduction.
