(monochrome) display
Some Video Content Analysis systems only work with
black and white cameras.
Color displays
When color information such as clothing or vehicle color
specifics are needed.
CRT displays
When the space configuration lends itself to addition of
console mounted-type displays.
LCD Displays
Lower power consumption
Less space required
Higher resolution.
Large-format display, 23
When overall dispatch center (console and desk)
inches to 80 inches or
space is limited. (Assumes wall-mounted or
larger
suspended displays.)
When having little glare from the display is a
significant concern.
When power consumption is a significant
consideration.
When a large number of displays (more than nine in
matrix fashion) are required.
When flexibility of programming images is required.

Banks of CCTV monitors increase cost. Designs should consider having one
monitor for "alarm call-up" and additional monitors for a fixed view or switching images.
The tenant command or ESS Project Manager should be wary of the vendor advocating
a monitor for every camera. Individual project display configurations will vary based on
the nature of the project specifics such as number of critical assets, criticality of the
asset, number of CCTV cameras, and space allocation. Figures 4-5 through 4-7
illustrate three different possible configurations. Figure 4-5 is a basic simple project
configuration. Figure 4-6 displays static images for a twenty-five camera project. Figure
4-7 illustrates a robust display configuration that allows viewing of pre-alarm, current
situation, and post-alarm images for a single event. In Figure 4-7, pre-alarm shows the
events shortly before the ESS alarm. Conversely, the post-alarm displays the events
shortly after the ESS alarm.
