Comparison between other digital system and Kollector 

Most  of  the  digital  recording  systems  available  today  compress  the  image  data 
using Motion-JPEG or MPEG format. 

Most  of  the  digital  recording  systems  available  today  compress  the  image  data 
using Motion-JPEG or MPEG format.   
Motion-JPEG format relies upon the successive display of compressed still JPEG 
files,  It  originally  used  to  create  the  special  effects  of  movies  and  then  was 
adopted to the security field owing to the merit that it can get capture a clear still 
image.  However, Motion-JPEG format lacks the efficiency of data compression 
especially at the situation where there is motion, due to large file sizes. A typical 
file size for a single image is approx 15~18k bytes for mediocre resolution.  
 
Meanwhile, MPEG format analyzes current movements and restore the images 
with  pre  and  post  image  capture.  That  is,  if  any  movement occurred,  MPEG 
format  compares  adjacent  frames  and  saves  only  different  part  of  image  from 
previous  frame.    Under  normal  security  circumstances  to  watch  specific  area 
continuously, MPEG algorithm is much more efficient than Motion-JPEG due to 
smaller file sizes.  However, MPEG files require a uniform number of pixels as a 
requirement, therefore, it is difficult to get the clear still images during high-activity 
recording, as images become pixilated. 
 
To  make  up  for  above  disadvantages, Vicon Industries has  developed  a  new 
algorithm-Enhanced MPEG1.  Kollector format allows you to get the high quality 
images  including  clear  still  images  during  high-activity  recording  through 
enhanced  compression  efficiency  and  adjusting  number  of  bits  to  very  low  file 
sizes. These amount to a dynamic range of between 35 to 6,000 bytes, a fraction 
of  all  other  known  compression  schemes, at a resolution of over 280 HTVL,
