What is IP Video Surveillance?

IP surveillance is a digitized and

networked version of closed-cir-

cuit television (CCTV). With an IP

surveillance system, the camera

records video footage and the

resulting content is distributed

over an IP network. Digitization

offers a number of benefits over

traditional analog CCTV, includ-

ing improved search capability,

greater ease of use, better qual-

ity images/no degradation of

content over time, the ability to

record/play simultaneously, the

ability to compress content for

improved storage and the abil-

ity to connect to email and other

communications systems so that

alerts can be sent automatically.

i. A PoE switch could be centrally located centrally some-where in an office. In this case, run all of the cables back to that PoE switch, or connect the Ethernet ports on the walls of the office back to the PoE switch so that all you need to do is plug cameras into existing wall outlets.

ii. Another option is to deploy multiple 2-4 port PoE switches near cameras in remote areas and connect the switches together through the network.

b.
