Plenty of sites still run analogue cameras that do the job they were installed to do. Replacing them all at once is difficult to fund and difficult to justify. Leaving them outside the modern platform means running parallel systems, with separate recording, separate review and separate training.
The cameras are not the problem. The split is.
CATHEXIS integration with video encoders brings existing analogue cameras onto the platform.
What CATHEXIS video encoder integration delivers:
Analogue cameras connected through supported encoders appear in CATHEXIS alongside IP cameras, with the same recording, search, alarm handling and user access control applied to all of them.
Operators work in one interface across the whole estate, and investigators run a single search rather than two.
This turns a full replacement into a phased upgrade. Cameras are replaced where the image quality or analytics actually require it, on a timetable and budget that suit the organisation.
The result: value kept in the cameras already installed, and one system to operate instead of two.
