Go Hybrid

Sony leads the way for hybrid solutions

IP-based video security has many advantages over traditional analogue systems - including higher resolution, greater intelligence and easier, more flexible installation. Yet 70% of the market still has not made the move across.

In light of current economic conditions, this is hardly surprising. Organisations need to minimise costs and get as much out of their existing investments as possible - so the benefits of IP-based video security will have to wait. Or will they?

Sony believes that now is the perfect time to Go Hybrid and start your migration to IP without throwing away your analogue systems. To integrate old and new in a hybrid platform that protects your existing investments, while also ensuring fewer false alarms, more efficient monitoring and clearer imagery.

Thanks to Sony's unique hybrid video technology - which is designed specifically for security - you can integrate any combination of analogue and IP equipment, from both Sony and other manufacturers. This will help optimise your video security solution today, in the most cost-effective way - while also preparing for full IP migration further down the line.

Only Sony offers a complete portfolio of hybrid video security solutions - from cameras and recorders to software, encoders and monitors. When you Go Hybrid with Sony, we'll help you to:
