Introduction
Rapid
economic
growth
and
industrialization
in
recent
years
has
made
protection
of
major
facilities
and
intellectual
properties
a
critical
issue
for
most
businesses
and
individuals.
The
demand
for
the
centralized
management
of
security
system
as
well
as
protection
of
properties
from
fire
hazards
and
other
natural
disasters
using
remote
surveillance
system
is
growing
at
an
accelerating
rate.
To
meet
the
growing
demand
for
such
concept
of
remote
surveillance,
Vicon
Industries Inc.
has
developed
an
unique
digital
security
system,
Kollector.
Kollector
is
a
user-friendly
digital
video
security
system
so
easy
to
use
that
even
a
novice
can
put
it
to
an
effective
use,
to
monitor
and
protect
the
valuable
properties
as
well
as
to
provide
personal
safety
and
security.
X4 Compression Efficiency
By using its unique file compression algorithm-Enhanced MPEG1, Kollector
has improved the efficiency of file compression over the conventional digital
systems by about four times (X4).
Based on its X4 compression efficiency, Kollector can store the digital images
for a much longer time than other competitive technologies and thus can be
recognized as the first unique commercial system to overcome the
disadvantage of short storage period of conventional digital systems.
Four in One
Main
functions
of
digital
security
system
can
be
classified
as
three
categories,
Live
View,
Image
recording,
Multiplexing
and
Data
transmission
for
remote
surveillance.
By
unique
combination
of
three
functions
into
a
single
system,
Kollector
can
fully
meet
user's
requirements
and
achieve
more
effective
security
solution
than
ever.
Main Features of Kollector
Highly Reliable Maintenance-Free Digital Security System
Images
stored
on
video
tapes
are
often
distorted
from
prolonged
use
and
clear
still
images
are
virtually
impossible
to
obtain. Recording on conventional digital video
recorders was limited to mediocre resolution and short recording times.
Now
with
Kollector,
distortion-free
and
high
quality
images
can
be
stored
for months, at a time
on
one or two removable
hard
disk.
To
top
it
off,
Kollector
can
save
you
money
in
maintenance
cost
because
you
can
save
recorded
images
over
again
on
the
same
hard
disk
as
well
as
archiving
the
video
for
long
periods
of
time
on
economical
DVD
disks or RW-CD ROM. But
VCRs
need
monthly
tape
head
cleaning
and
regular
parts
changes.
Full Compatibility with Existing CCTV Cameras and Equipments.
Kollector
is
fully
compatible
with
conventional
CCTV
cameras
with
NTSC
or
PAL
signal,
which
adds
up
no
additional
costs
to
replace
the
existing
VCR,
multiplexer
and
other
hardware.
Innovative Enhanced MPEG1 Compression Technology
With
Enhanced MPEG1
compression
algorithm,
a
single
system
can
provide
both
high
quality
images
during
high-activity
recording
and
enhanced
compression
efficiency.
Kollector
utilizes
software-based
compression
system,
which
allows
quick
and
easy
upgrade.
Competitive
technologies
require
18~28K
of
disk
space
per
image for resolution of between 120 & 180 horizontal TV lines.
Kollector
requires
only
1/4
to
1/5
the
space providing resolutions up to 280 horizontal TV
lines.
Because
of
the
smaller
file
sizes,
Kollector
can
record
video
data
onto
reliable
hard
disk
exporting video to equally reliable CD or DVD
and
not
use
expensive
and
unreliable
DV
or
DAT
tape.
High Speed Search and Crystal-like Clear Still Images.
Kollector
utilizes
hard
disk
to
save
images,
which
allows
high
speed
search
and
output
of
high
quality
still
images,
without
interrupting
the
recording
function.
System Backup Program
After abnormal shut-down such as power-failure, the system may not be booted up
again due to a damage of HDD’s boot-up-related files. In this case, System Backup
program operates automatically to restore the damaged files in HDD and keep the
system stable. And Backup must be selected by clicking on System Backup button,
each time the system is upgraded.(It takes approximately 10 minutes)
Encode of Recorded Images
Conventional
systems
use
a
standardized
storage
method
that
allows
unauthorized
alteration
of
recorded
images.
Kollector
uses
proprietary
authentication
to
protect
the
files
from
such
unauthorized
tampering
and
alteration
assuring
that
video
is
in
fact
authentic.
All
images
stored
in
Kollector
can
only
be
accessed
and
viewed
via
its
own
software,
Kollector
Viewer.
Video Image and Audio file Transmission
Kollector
Technology's
innovative
Kollector
CasinoMaster
system
allows
fast
transmission
and
reception
of
image & audio
files
regardless
of
location
and
time.
