CAT5e cabling was the first cable to allow for Gigabit networks. The most common network cabling installed today is still CAT5e.

CAT5e cables allows transport of Gigabit speeds up to 328 ft., (including patch cables)

CAT6 cable provides the ability to have a 10-Gigabit network. It is important to note that 10-Gigabit network on CAT6 cables is limited to 164’, including patch cables.

Therefore, it does not make sense to install CAT6 cabling for distances over 164’. (including patch cables)

CAT6A utilizes an exceptionally thick plastic casing that helps further reduce crosstalk. The biggest difference between CAT6 and CAT6A cables is that CAT6A can maintain 10-Gigabit speeds for the full 328 feet of Ethernet cable.

IP-Based Video Surveillance, IP-Surveillance, or sometimes called Network video uses a wired or wireless IP network as the backbone for transporting digital video, audio and other data. When Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology is applied, the network can also be used to carry power to network video products.

An IP-Based Video Surveillance system allows video to be monitored and recorded from anywhere on the network, whether it’s on your local area network (LAN) or across your wide area network (WAN).

The core components of a IP-Based Video Surveillance system are:

• • Network Video Recorder (NVR) (Server)
• • IP Cameras
• • Network (LAN, WAN, etc.)
• • Video Management Software
• • Cabling from IP Cameras to Switch Ports for Network Access

The Network, Storage, and Servers can all be Standard IT Equipment.

IP-Based Video Surveillance systems provide many benefits and advanced functionalities that cannot be achieved with an analog video surveillance system. The advantages include superior image quality, remote accessibility, easy installation, easy integration, better scalability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

In an IP-Based Video Surveillance system, images from a network camera are digitized once and stay digital with no unnecessary conversions and no image degradation due to distance traveled over a network. In addition, digital images can be more easily stored and retrieved than where analog systems are used.

Using standard PC server hardware can reduce management and equipment costs, particularly for larger systems where storage and servers are a significant portion of the total solution cost. Additional cost savings may come from the infrastructure used. IP networks such as LANs, WANs, and the Internet can be leveraged for other applications across an organization.

With an IP-Based Video Surveillance system, users can access video real-time from any authorized computer anywhere, at any time.
