Migrating to IP Surveillance

Still not convinced it’s time to make the move?

Here are a few related questions and answers…

Won’t video trac slow

the performance of my

data network?

One of the rst questions new

customers ask is the impact IP

Surveillance will have on network

performance. Fortunately, modern

streaming technologies such as H.264

can really compress video data down

to minimise the bandwidth required.

Moreover, most network switches and

routers (such as those from D-Link)

can be congured to segregate and

prioritise dierent types of trac

using industry-standard Virtual LAN

(VLAN) and Quality of Service (QoS)

technologies. As a result, a properly

implemented IP Surveillance system

should have minimal impact on

existing network applications or

their performance.

Can my data be intercepted

and used for other purposes?

As with other network applications, IP

Surveillance products are engineered

to comply with industry-standard

network authentication and security

technologies. Using these, access to

recordings can be strictly controlled

and audited. At the physical level too,

it’s a lot harder to intercept digital

than analogue CCTV data, making IP

Surveillance inherently more secure,

especially when using wireless to

connect cameras to the network.

Aren’t IP cameras

complicated to install?

If anything, IP cameras are easier to

install than a conventional analogue

CCTV camera, and quicker, especially

if Power over Ethernet (PoE) is used

to eliminate the need for a dedicated

AC supply. What’s more, with new

breakthrough technologies, such as,

Auto Surveillance VLAN (ASV), a

feature found in Smart Switches from

D-Link, switches supporting ASV

enhance the existing infrastructure by

automatically segmenting surveillance

data from general data. This results

in an optimised hybrid network that

is quick and easy to deploy, while

capable of handling both your data and

surveillance trac.

How can I safely monitor

my network trac during

busy periods?

It is important that video feeds from

surveillance aren’t negatively aected

during periods of busy trac congestion.

On networks with already heavy trac

loads, the approach has often been to

create a separate IP network infrastructure

explicitly dedicated to surveillance

trac. However, ASV changes all of this

by automatically detecting attached

surveillance equipment to intelligently

segment surveillance trac to give it high

priority following quality of service (QoS)

standards. In this way, surveillance trac

can continue to stream video smoothly

and reliably, even during periods of heavy

data trac. When used in conjunction

with PoE, hardware installation is

simplied, and clutter is reduced since

power and data can be transferred over a

single cable.

Will I need to switch to a

dierent company to install

and maintain my IP Surveillance

equipment?

No - most specialist suppliers already

oer support for both analogue and IP

Surveillance systems and are both willing

and able to oer impartial advice on

what’s best for your organisation. D-link

products are available through a network

of approved resellers well versed in both

analogue and digital solutions.

I’ve used a webcam and

wasn’t impressed with the

quality, won’t IP Surveillance

be the same?

Professional IP cameras are a world

apart from cheap webcams. HD-

quality, Megapixel cameras are now

commonplace along with low-light and

infrared technologies to capture detailed,

high resolution, images in varying light

conditions. High frame rates further help

together with support for both optical and

digital zoom at the camera.
