Three major causes of high cost of high-definition video surveillance products

The high cost of high-definition products is expensive, reflected in several ways:

First, due to the lack of volume in the early days, the product cost was high. In particular, high-definition cameras cost a lot more than previous SD cameras. Although there are hundreds of dollars of high-definition network cameras on the market, such products At the cost of sacrificing quality and results, in the long run, it would not be beneficial for HD.

Secondly, due to the development of video processing technology, under the same codec technology as before, high-definition video brings higher code stream, resulting in the increase of network transmission cost and video storage cost at the same time;

Thirdly, the cost of the central platform equipment and display equipment has also been increased accordingly. These several factors combine to make the same monitoring system use HD much higher than SD. This makes high-definition applications are still concentrated in industries such as safe cities and other relatively abundant funds. Of course, as the market expands, planning becomes more rational and more efficient video processing technologies (such as H.264 High Profile) become popular, cost issues will be gradually solved.
