HDVI camera

HDVI (High Definition Video Interface) technology is a video transmission standard that allows for high-definition (HD) images to be obtained over traditional coaxial cables, like those used for analog cameras. Its main advantages include superior image quality, simplified installation due to compatibility with existing infrastructure, and a longer transmission range than some other HD technologies.

HDVI cameras are generally available in several resolutions, including 720p (HD) and 1080p (Full HD). The choice will depend on your needs in terms of image clarity. For detailed identification of faces or license plates, 1080p is preferable. For general surveillance where fine recognition is not paramount, 720p may suffice.

Yes, most HDVI-compatible DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) are also backward compatible with traditional analog cameras. This allows you to gradually upgrade your surveillance system by replacing old analog cameras with HDVI cameras without having to change your entire DVR.

HDVI cameras can transmit HD signals over standard coaxial cables (such as RG59) over distances of up to 500 meters without significant loss of quality. For longer distances, the use of video signal amplifiers may be necessary. We recommend using good quality coaxial cables to optimize performance.

Yes, to take full advantage of HDVI technology, you will need a DVR specifically designed for HDVI cameras. These DVRs are capable of processing high-definition signals transmitted via coaxial. Make sure that the DVR you choose supports the resolution and number of cameras you plan to install.

HDVI, AHD (Analog High Definition), and TVI (Transport Video Interface) are all technologies that allow for HD video transmission over coaxial cable. They share similar advantages in terms of image quality and compatibility with existing infrastructure. The main difference lies in their standardization and the manufacturers that support them. Here, you will find a selection of products compatible with these different standards; be sure to check compatibility with your existing DVR if you are not changing the entire system.
