New York (PRWEB) October 25, 2006 -- MOBOTIX, provider of advanced IP based video solutions, today announced that they will exhibit at ISC EAST (booth 2028) at the Javits Center in New York City, October 24-25. In an age when security concerns are paramount, the unparalleled image quality of MOBOTIX cameras is the next logical step forward for the security surveillance industry.

"Digital advances have become the norm for just about everything, except security cameras, which have largely been stuck in the analog world of the last century," said Dr. Ralf Hinkel, CEO of MOBOTIX. "Simple phone cameras often capture clearer images than the average analog security camera. In contrast, the crystal clear, digital images of MOBOTIX cameras show the advantage of intelligent IP technology."

Dr. Hinkel went on to express particular concern for the slow progress that New York City has shown in modernizing its surveillance camera systems. "Of all cities in the world, New York should be the most advanced with its surveillance cameras, but, in fact, one look at subway cameras shows that’s not the case."

Most people are used to the very grainy, low-resolution images associated with analog cameras. Foggy images of last year’s London subway bombers, or of Mohammed Atta going through security at Logan Airport are typical of analog cameras. By way of comparison, MOBOTIX camera images have been called "HDTV quality." There’s no question who is in the photo, a very valid concern in the post 9/11 world.
Besides image quality, MOBOTIX comes out ahead in terms of broadest operating temperature range, performance for multiple live cameras, recording, storage, wireless LAN adaptability, and low bandwidth requirements.

In addition to all these technical advantages, MOBOTIX actually reduces the overall costs of a typical surveillance system. Because MOBOTIX cameras provide 12 times more detail than the average camera, one MOBOTIX camera can watch multiple targets and thereby reduce the total number of cameras required. Intelligent, direct storage management reduces the number of digital video recorders needed and the overall cost of storage by a ratio of 10 to 1.

Emergency power supply costs are drastically reduced, both in capacity and necessary cabling due to fog-free lenses that do not require extra heating and as a result can be powered over the network cable. The fiberglass reinforced and shock-resistant MOBOTIX cameras protect the network cable and connections against vandalism, which is another cost saver passed on to the consumer.
