full-color images, and a DVD is included that contains tools for designing and
optimizing a network video installation.

Market shift from analog to network cameras
Because of the
ever-increasing risks presented by crime, terrorism and the potential loss of
corporate assets, more businesses, governments and educational facilities are
turning to surveillance cameras and systems as a primary security solution. An
estimated 10 million surveillance cameras are being installed every year
world-wide in a broad range of applications in government facilities and a
variety of industries. The change to all digital, network video from analog CCTV
video is comparable to the revolution in the telecomm industry from the analog
PBX systems to IP telephony. All leading security industry experts predict a
permanent paradigm shift from analog to network cameras in the next five years.
