Talking about security: how difficult is digitization of buildings?

Under the current technology, as long as the things that are related to numbers, they can almost always be considered advanced representatives. From digital cameras, digital television in our lives, to digital cameras in security, digital video recorders, and more. All this has brought more convenience to our work, and digital technology has almost become a representative of modernity, advancement, trends and economy.

However, is the application of all digital devices as smooth as the tide? The answer is certainly negative, and in the area of ​​security, building intercom is a major series in security equipment. Its digitization process always seems to be difficult. Is it that this mainstream industry in security is dissatisfied with digitalization? Still in the depth of this technology, what kind of defects exist?

In fact, if it comes to security, then there are good examples of successful digital applications. However, the most successful is the application of HD-SDI in the field of surveillance cameras. It is precisely because of the emergence of digital high-definition that not only has the quality of video surveillance been substantially improved, but it has also been viewed by the majority of users as a model for capturing both the advantages of analog and network technologies and eliminating deficiencies. It can even be said that this is a dream application in video technology. It is also with such a brilliant halo. The application of digital technology in security monitoring has been in full swing, and its prospects are undoubtedly bright.

However, as the same digital technology, if you take it to the building intercom, its status may be a bit embarrassing. Today, in many modern community applications, building intercom systems can be said to be already common devices. However, from the analysis of features, this type of equipment is still mainly based on analog equipment, and from the publicity, the digital technology of building intercom is almost tepid, and digital equipment is still far away for ordinary users. Illusory. Is digital intercom system really so suitable for us? What is this contrast with other security products for digital applications?

What makes simulations suppress the numbers?

It is understood that from the perspective of users, it is not that they do not want the digitalization of the building intercom products. However, in the transition from analog to digital in building intercom equipment, the cost control is still the main obstacle in the conversion process. Is it really difficult to optimize the digital technology of the building intercom system?

In fact, from the perspective of cost, the digital capacity of intercom products can be very small. But the discreteness of the video intercom is very high. Unlike other digital products or surveillance cameras, different users have very different requirements for building intercom products under different use environments. Therefore, the subdivision of this kind of demand also created the building of a large-scale homogeneous production under the floor-to-speaking demand. This means that if you are eager to reduce the cost of building intercom equipment by realizing large-scale production, it is almost impossible. The advent of digital products will have to force manufacturers to spend higher costs to produce a very limited number of technical products. And how many people will be willing to do this in the face of such a loss of money?

Why digital building intercom is difficult to be favored?

Does the cost still depend on technology?

The above article mentioned that the difficulty of digital building products is inseparable from its high cost. Nowadays, when we encounter high costs, we basically think of the improvement of the equipment through technological improvements, and ultimately make it a more reasonable price. As far as building intercom products are concerned, I think this can be the case.

Improvement of technical standards

It is due to the decentralization of application fields and the different characteristics of the application that the technical characteristics of the equipment have more dispersion, thus resulting in the dispersion of production. Judging from the appearance of this phenomenon, it may be suspicion of over obeying the market. Adapting to the market is what we need, but excessive compliance with the market may have a negative effect on the entire industry.

Therefore, the author believes that instead of going to the dilemma of looking after different needs. It is better to establish a more definite standard in the industry, indicate the needs of the relevant equipment, and what level of equipment should meet what kind of demand. Under such guidance, both production and application will be carried out in a general direction, so that both manufacturers and users will have clearer production and demand points, which will also be more conducive to the optimization and production of product characteristics.

The technological progress of the equipment itself

For many devices, mature technology often means lower costs. Therefore, many products also place the cost control in production on the maturity of the technology. I believe that this may also be the development of digital intercom systems.

As mentioned earlier, the reduction in demand has made digital intercom equipment not yet capable of apportioning huge amounts of costs by relying on large-scale production. Therefore, in the research and development of technology, the cost control can only be resolved by relying on the adjustment of the technology itself. For the relevant accessories, in addition to hard work and practice "inherent internal strength" to improve the technical maturity of the core equipment. Improving the performance of related equipment, application areas, and expanding the capabilities of equipment is also one of the ways to ease the output of intercom products and make it difficult to achieve mass production.

Unification and compatibility are still the way out

In the production of the equipment, due to the singleness of the demand performance, the product demand is limited. Therefore, the expansion of the use of equipment, improve the compatibility of the equipment is also an effective means to enhance the use of equipment.

We can imagine that if the original function is to enhance the use of the device, or to enhance the interoperability with the surrounding anti-theft products, smart homes, and even other service facilities. It is very beneficial to improve the utilization of the entire system. Especially in the current situation in which the digital technology is in an ascending stage, enhancing interaction with peripheral products is undoubtedly an outweighed disadvantage.

In fact, from the analysis of drawbacks and needs, we can easily find out. The ignorance of the digital building system is, to some extent, the main reason for the current application of such devices. Therefore, enhancing the application capability of the equipment, enhancing the coverage and compatibility of the equipment is undoubtedly the main means to solve the cost predicament. Therefore, with the help of digital technology as an advanced platform foundation to enhance the usability of building intercom systems, will the era of digital buildings still be far behind?
