Leading the way to
Video Surveillance
One of the most significant advances
of recent years, Video Surveillance
technology has revolutionised the
CCTV market, doing away with
the need for outdated analogue
cameras, custom cabling and complex
monitoring equipment. Using IP it
becomes possible, instead, to build
systems based on affordable network
cameras designed to transmit digital
video over ordinary wired and
wireless networks back to easy to use
monitoring and recording software
run on industry standard platforms.
As a world leader with over 28 years’
experience developing, deploying and
supporting networks, D-Link is ideally
placed to take advantage of these
advances and to bring them to a wider
audience. It was one of the first to
incorporate Video Surveillance into its
network portfolio, and over the years
it has built up an impressive family of
products to suit everyone from the
home user to large enterprise buyers.
D-Link has a full set of Video
Surveillance products and more,
including high resolution digital
cameras for both indoor and outdoor
use; digital encoders to interface
existing analogue cameras; network
video recorders to securely store
those recordings and the monitoring
and management software to tie
everything together.
Advancing
the technology
still further
Never one to rest on its laurels, D-Link
continues to invest heavily in R&D,
to innovate and bring new features
and technologies to market. Strict
adherence to industry standards also
makes for simpler integration with
Wireless AC and Wireless N Wi-Fi
which is now commonplace on D-Link
cameras, for example, plus Power over
Ethernet (PoE) for simpler, cheaper,
discrete installation without the need
for separate power lines.
High definition, Megapixel camera
technology is, similarly, to be found on
the latest D-Link cameras, along with
digital pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) plus
integrated 2-way sound capabilities.
Some cameras can also capture video
to local storage such as MicroSD card,
adding another layer of redundancy
to the system and for backup and
monitoring remote, out of the
way, locations.
Because it’s digital, captured IP
video can be stored on hard disk
rather than old-fashioned video tape
and feeds from multiple cameras
monitored using nothing more
than a standard desktop PC. And
here, too, D-Link leads the way with,
in its latest products, support for
automated picture analysis, off-site
monitoring and storage plus alerting
via smartphones, tablets and other
mobile devices.
