The security industry has adopted a centralized storage approach for IP video surveillance systems.
Manufacturers followed traditional data center designs, assuming that it was best to use the standard architecture for Information Technology (IT).

Most of the advantages of Pixim’s innovative Digital Pixel System® image capture and processing technology are easy to see: video images with high resolution, natural color and superb accuracy, and free of image-compromising visual noise, regardless of a scene’s lighting conditions. The Digital Pixel System advantages do not stop with the visually obvious, however. Behind the scenes, Pixim’s all-digital technology yields more highly compressed images that can dramatically reduce the costs of moving and storing security video in both analog and IP networked installations.
