Tech Notes

Our tech notes provide useful information and guidance on designing and upgrading security and surveillance systems.

Improving Bandwidth Management

IP multicasting can deliver significant benefits through reduced bandwidth requirements and optimized network resources.

Backfilling

With IP Backfilling, single points of failure are eliminated for maximum uptime and guaranteed 24/7 availability.

Evidence Management

Maintaining data integrity throughout the lifecycle of digital evidence requires adherence to a strict framework of best practices and procedures, and consideration of several key factors.

H.265 Video Compression

H.265 has the potential to make significant bandwidth and storage savings, but is it appropriate for high-channel, large-scale surveillance applications?

Multicasting

A key benefit of using a multicast network is the reduced strain on network infrastructure and predictable bandwidth requirements.

PoE Classification

Sourcing power in this way is often preferable for surveillance cameras, as it means physical camera placement is not restricted by the need for direct, localized power supply.
