The **Status and Challenges of Video Surveillance Systems**
As the demand for higher clarity in surveillance systems continues to rise, and with the ongoing development of high-definition video technology, the industry has transitioned from analog systems to IP-based solutions. This shift is not only a trend but also an inevitable evolution. However, despite this progress, the market still shows that analog cameras hold a larger share than IP cameras. Most existing surveillance systems are based on traditional analog setups, and the move towards IP monitoring will require a transitional phase.
During this period, several challenges need to be addressed. Traditional analog systems and modern IP systems differ significantly in terms of components and cabling. As a result, the switch cannot happen overnight. One of the main issues is the transmission infrastructure. Analog systems typically use coaxial cables, while IP systems rely on network cabling. If an old system is upgraded, the entire wiring may need to be replaced, which increases both cost and labor. Additionally, IP cameras have limited transmission distances—usually up to 100 meters without signal boosters. Moreover, real-time video preview is crucial in surveillance, but IP streaming over wide-area networks often introduces delays of 1–4 seconds due to encoding, decoding, and network latency.
Millions of existing coaxial-based systems are still in operation, with significant investment already made. Many of these cables are far from their end-of-life, making full replacement impractical. Rebuilding an IP network from scratch would be time-consuming, expensive, and wasteful. Therefore, the question arises: Is there a way to reuse these existing cables to reduce costs, shorten project timelines, and make the transition more efficient?
This is where **SLOC technology** comes into play. Introduced in October 2010, SLOC (SecurityLink Over Coax) offers a groundbreaking solution by enabling the simultaneous transmission of analog CVBS video, high-definition IP streams, and RS-485 control signals over a single coaxial cable. This means that modern IP cameras can leverage existing CCTV infrastructure without the need for new cabling or modifications. The result is a cost-effective and resource-efficient way to transition from analog to digital IP systems, with a transmission range of up to 300–500 meters.
The SLOC solution consists of two key components: the **TW3801 camera modem** and the **TW3811 receiver modem**. These highly integrated chips combine an analog front end (AFE), a digital modem, and two Ethernet MII interfaces. The TW3801 merges the received CVBS signal with the Ethernet MII signal into a proprietary output, while the TW3811 decodes the incoming signal for the receiving side.
In terms of application, SLOC technology addresses several critical issues in IP surveillance. It allows for the transmission of high-definition IP streams over existing coaxial infrastructure without disrupting current CCTV services. It supports low-latency live viewing and enables control of IP cameras. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for rewiring, reducing both time and cost. This makes the transition from analog to IP smoother and more practical.
There are multiple ways to implement SLOC technology. One approach is to embed the SLOC chip directly into network cameras and hybrid DVRs. This allows for easy integration without increasing hardware complexity. Another method involves applying SLOC to external devices without altering the original product design, speeding up development and offering greater flexibility.
SLOC technology is also being applied to **coaxial network transmission equipment**, allowing both network and analog signals to be transmitted over coaxial cables with minimal loss. These devices can even power IP cameras, simplifying installation and lowering overall costs.
A typical application scenario involves connecting both analog and IP cameras to a sending module. The video and IP signals are then transmitted through the coaxial cable to a receiving module, where they are separated and directed to the appropriate storage or display devices—whether it’s a DVR for analog footage or an NVR for IP data.
Despite its advantages, SLOC technology faces challenges, particularly in ensuring compatibility across different systems. The use of specific chips like TW3801 and TW3811 requires standardized protocols. Companies like Intersil are working with partners such as Sony to promote the **HVSA (Hybrid Video Surveillance Alliance)** initiative, aiming to establish industry-wide standards. For security firms, active participation in these standardization efforts is essential to ensure smooth adoption and accelerate the shift from analog to true IP-based monitoring.
Glass Shelf
Are glass shelves safe?
