Digital video security systems also have to be able to handle multiple locations, sometimes even on moving automobiles, and 24/7 operation, all of which require not only high-resolution video compression, processing, and transmission, but compact housings and low-power-consumption designs. This has brought a new dilemma to design engineers as traditionally in video surveillance system design, performance used to outweigh power efficiency since the majority of data processing was done in a control center, where the power supply is ample and well managed.

Now with the new Intel® Atom™ processor, design engineers for video surveillance systems are able to develop space saving, ultra-compact systems with high reliability and mobility for long-battery-life operation. Whether you’re looking for a reliable, proven hardware platform to build a custom solution upon, or a ready-to-go solution with application software to cut time to market, Advantech provides flexible open architecture that allows easy control of cameras, video signal processing, storage, and video management/security software without compromising scalability and expandability.
