MEASURING IP CAMERA SIGNALS, WHY DO IT, AND WHAT ADVANTAGE DOES IT PROVIDE? By: Frank McClatchie Have you ever had a perfectly good IP Camera System suddenly stop working for no apparent reason, and then taken the Camera to the "Bench" to test it and found
JUST HOW CLOSE IS YOUR IP CAMERA TO FAILURE ? By Frank McClatchie This is not a casual question. IP Camera Systems are famous for both delivering an excellent picture and also for intermittent operation for no apparent reason. It is in fact critical to the reliable
Every P.O.E. power system has at least two parts, the power sourcing end often referred to as the “PSE” or Power Sourcing Equipment and the load end of the system called the “PD” or Powered Device. The PSE can be built into the NVR, a
The use of P.O.E. Power Over Ethernet is increasing do in part to the development of the standard IEEE802.3af with more manufacturers incorporating P.O.E. capability into their products. The advantages of using P.O.E. as a source of power are numerous including. No need for an
The nature of an IP video signal uses a two way communication over two pairs of twisted wire usually packed into a 4 wire pair network cable with an outer jacket to hold everything together. The IP video signal uses a balanced transmission
LIGHTNING HAPPENS. You cannot control it, and when it happens near an IP Picture Transmission System, the differential current flowing in the ground and the twisted Pairs carrying the digital picture information can be enough to damage the terminating resistors in the system changing the
