HD VIDEO MYTHS AND FACTS

 

 HD Video Myths & Facts

We have spent thousands of hours perfecting ReedHD Hi-Def Camera designs and installations. We know the right cameras for the right locations and we've even met with the Saskatoon Police to determine how to solve more crimes.

We've installed over 
5000 cameras in Saskatchewan and wanted to share with you some common Myths.


Myth #1:  HD Video Cameras Always Capture Faces and License Plates

  • False
  • Many factors have an effect on the image quality - camera type, camera placement, distance to the target, target speed, the weather, light conditions, and video management software.
  • Click Here to See How ReedHD Cameras can Record Faces and License Plates


Myth #2:  HD Video Camera Images Can Be Manipulated Like on TV Shows and Movies

  • False
  • Hollywood glamorizes what you can do with recorded HD images and most of what you see on TV cannot be done.
  • ReedHD I.P. Video Management Software has an exclusive Display Adjustment feature (see images above).
  • We can adjust the brightness and contrast of recorded video to provide the Saskatoon Police an image they can use.
  • We can also Zoom In on recorded video to see Faces and License Plates (see Myth #1).   


Myth #3:  Wireless HD Video Cameras Can Be Installed Anywhere

  • False
  • Wireless HD cameras can transmit wireless signals, but still require a power source.
  • Most HD cameras are not wireless.
  • HD cameras must be plugged into a power outlet or wired into a network.
  • We can create a wireless bridge and transmit signals many KM's when there is direct line of site.
  • Trees, windows, buildings, walls, and RF interference have a direct effect on signal quality.
