ASFOM: Fiber Optics Ingenuity

ASFOM: Fiber Optics Ingenuity

Fiber optic cable plays a starring role in helping integrators deploy some video systems, especially those with long distances from the camera to the headend. Fiber optic links allow for massive bandwidth capacities and immunity from Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).

Why Fiber?

Why Fiber?

If you're reading this right now, you have fiber optics to thank. Though more than 300 million miles (500 million km) of optical fibers are made annually, we rarely stop to think about what life would be like without them.

Wireless Design and Peace of Mind

Wireless Design and Peace of Mind

“How much time should I budget for installing the wireless systems on this project?”

Wireless transmission devices allow you to create a wireless network over almost any terrain. Point-to-point configuration lets you circumvent obstacles, and point-to-multipoint enable complex wireless systems with multiple remote clients transmitting back to a single unit. The possibilities are near endless.

5 Things to Know About Our Mobile Surveillance System (MSS)

5 Things to Know About Our Mobile Surveillance System (MSS)

One of the benefits of advancing technology in the video surveillance realm is the ability to deploy portable security units at sites that lack infrastructure, require rapid deployment, are temporary, or a combination of these factors. We have taken great care in designing a Mobile Surveillance System (MSS) that provides the “eyes and ears” to monitor and record what’s happening in real-time.

Power over Ethernet (PoE): KBC Switch Options

Power over Ethernet (PoE): KBC Switch Options

When the IEEE first introduced Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the marketplace in 2003, it created quite a buzz throughout the electronics world over newfound systems possibilities and project cost savings. For security integrators, the ability to use a single Cat-5 cable to pass power and transmit data meant IP cameras and other edge devices could now be readily deployed. No longer were power supplies and related infrastructure needed to be installed in tandem at the site of these deployments.

Why is there an SFP port on the 4-channel Ethernet over Coax Receiver?

Why is there an SFP port on the 4-channel Ethernet over Coax Receiver?

A common practice for many years has been transmitting analog video from multiple cameras over fiber optic cables. Most commonly used was a 4-channel multiplexer, which would transmit up to 4 cameras over standard Multimode or Singlemode fiber optic cable for extended transmission distances. This type of application is found worldwide and continues to be found where analog cameras are required.
