Author: John Honovich, Published on Mar 25, 2016

Axis is about to become even more wrong about analog HD.

As we reported in 2015, Techpoint has developed HD analog technology that delivers 5MP resolution. Now, Hikvision is incorporating that into their new Turbo HD 3.0 release.

Inside this note, we break down the key features of Turbo HD 3.0 and explain why it has the potential to disrupt the industry.
