Analog High Definition (AHD) is the current popular analog technology which has capability to offer 720p and 1080p HD video. AHD camera adopts megapixel progressive scan CMOS image sensor, incorporated with Nextchip AHD1.0/2.0 image signal processor. The AHD camera can transmit maximum 1080p HD video over traditional coaxial cable up to 500 meters. It's ideal solution to users who want to choose analog system, or decide to upgrade existing standard definition analog camera system. Furthermore, AHD solution is an very affordable analog HD solution, it's compatible with 960H analog system.
