IP surveillance is a digitized and networked version of closed-circuit television (CCTV). In an IP surveillance system, an IP camera records video footage and the resulting content is distributed over an IP network. Digitization offers a number of benefits over traditional analogy CCTV, including: improved search capability, greater ease of use, better quality images and no degradation of content over time, the ability to record and play simultaneously, and the ability to compress content for improved storage.

     In an IP surveillance network, simultaneity, synchronization and redundancy are key issues, ORing’s full range litemanaged and managed Ethernet switch products feature its patent redundant ring technologies O-Ring, O-RSTP and Open-Ring, and their fast recovery capabilities can protect your mission-critical data from missing. In addition, adding networking capability to digital CCTV provides additional benefits, including improved ability for remote viewing and control. Especially when you adopt ORing’s gigabit Ethernet switch series, wide bandwidth enables you to enjoy smooth and synchronized video images.

     Apart from general wired Ethernet network, customers can also adopts wireless transmission of video from some or all cameras, using cost-efficient standard technologies such as IEEE 802.11b (Wi-Fi), and wireless access. In such case, ORing’s industrial wireless products IAP and IAR series can surely satisfy your requirements.

     Final, PoE technology (Power over Ethernet) eliminates the need to have power outlets at the camera locations and enabling easier application of UPSs (uninterrupted power supplies) to ensure 24/7 operations. ORing’s PoE Ethernet switch IPS series offers you the best answer for an ideal IP surveillance network.
