Hybrid Video Surveillance Networks
Many video security and surveillance networks are undergoing transformation
~Conversion from Analog-based to IP-enabled video networks
~Analog and IP cameras will inevitably co-exist
Continue to maintain existing Analog network?
~Many security networks will continue to be analog-based
~Distance reduction when moving to IP video will impede copper-based overhauls
Video Servers / Codecs can ease this transition
~Enjoy the benefits of IP camera technology without replacing existing analog cameras
Hybrid Video over Fiber Network
Extended reach of video security and surveillance networks
~Leading to quality, bandwidth and transmission distance issues
~Cameras may be located beyond the reach of traditional copper cabling
~Or beyond the reach of the original network design
Fiber can provide many benefits
~Increased transmission distances –extended reach
~mmunity to electrical interference –improved video quality
~reater security –less risk to tampering
~Smaller, lighter and stronger –easier installation
Media Conversion can ease the transition to fiber
~Utilize existing network security equipment –save on investment
~Benefits of PoE can still be utilized
