Haas Technologies - Side-By-Side Comparisons

Home / Video Surveillance / Side By Side Comparisons

At HAAS TECHNOLOGIES we conduct extensive testing to know how products perform in real word scenarios. We will setup various resolutions side-by-side with each other to see what having more resolution really means. We will also setup the same resolution side-by-side, but from difference manufactures. The reason for this is pure performance testing like for like.

Not all cameras are the same. Just because they have great marketing literature and specification sheets, doesn't mean they perform equally. When we originally started in 2003, various folks in the industry said everything was essentially manufactured in the same place and as long as it had "x" brand chips, it was just as good as the more expensive brand names. We learned our lessons the hard way, without testing first. We very quickly made costly mistakes by providing in-expensive equipment, then had to go back in a very short period of time and replace everything because the quality was poor. There are many factors that impact what we determine as poor quality. Some of the factors are, image quality, plastic lenses, plastic housings, imaging chips and supporting architecture, mounts, product packaging and documentation, and manufacture tech and customer support.

Some of the manufactures we work with can be found on the Equipment Types & Manufactures page.

Here are some Side-by-Side Comparisons with various resolutions. The Comparisons were setup using the Exacq Vision Client software. The Client software allows a user to have a camera feed dropped in to multiple panes on the screen. Once dropped in, the user can digitally pan and zoom each pane individually. The top row of each Comparison screen capture is the camera's full field of view, with the following rows digitally zoomed in to an area of interest exposing the true differences in resolution. Each column is a difference camera model and resolution. This feature is available in both Live and Playback.
