Chinese Banks Choose Pixim®-powered Cameras for Extra Security
Banking is nothing new in China, where financial institutions have been accepting deposits, making loans, issuing notes, and exchanging money for at least 1,000 years. Today, banks continue to be modernized throughout the country.
One example of this modernization is the recent choice by three of China’s “big four” state-owned commercial banks, including Bank of China, to deploy security cameras based on Pixim’s sophisticated Digital Pixel System® technology. Sunell Group, one of China’s leading providers of video security products, has been shipping Pixim-powered cameras to key banks in China since 2005.
Camera Resolution Is Limited to 540 HTVL Maximum in CCTV Systems
Claims of Higher Resolution Benefiting End Customers Are False
Recently, manufacturers have been promoting CCTV cameras with resolution specifications higher than 540 HTVL, implying that video security customers will benefit from enhanced resolution. But even if a CCTV camera is capable of capturing and delivering images with the resolutions the manufacturers are claiming (anywhere from 580 to 700 HTVL), common system limitations prevent the end user from achieving any benefit from the advertised increase in resolution.
The paper also discusses how cameras based on progressive image capture, such as Pixim-powered cameras, offer higher total resolution both on initial display and after recording.
