KBC Networks eCopper: complex IP video surveillance networks

In this article, ProdexTec shows how to connect the latest IP camera models, through a wired network, no need for food, using KBC Networks' eCopper device.

There are many coaxial and copper cable networks that can be leveraged to connect IP devices, without these needing to be connected to the electrical network for power. A good example is IP cameras that, through the eCopper series devices of KBC Networks, brand marketed in Spain and Portugal by ProdexTec, transmit high-resolution video signals to remote monitoring stations over already deployed networks, using a two-wire copper cable.

Those devices are perfect for complex video surveillance networks and offer high performance and simple setup..

Different eCopper models offer PoE and PoE+ capabilities to connect different types of IP devices over considerable distances.

The twisted pair cables of the networks that you want to take advantage of, can be of any category, of 1, 2 Or 4 pairs of threads, alarm cables can even be used. In the case of copper cable networks, apart from PoE and PoE+ options, PoW option is also available (Power over Wire), while for coaxial cables management can be done through PoC (Power over Coax or simultaneous power transmission), so the operator can change the power remotely.

KBC Networks is an American manufacturer of telecommunications solutions, equipment and energy management, optimized and ready for use in harsh environments such as industrial environments.

Your eCopper device is an easy solution, fast and cost-effective. Implements a unique design from common designs on the market to provide improved and much more stable performance.

It offers very complete protection measures against over-feeding or short circuits, since all the time the transmitter is not connected to the coaxial cable, no power will be sent, ensuring there are no accidental power problems, the same as if the cable is interrupted again, feeding will stop immediately, so there will be no short circuit.

The keys to the eCopper make it a highly recommended choice. It is a device with a completely industrial design, transmitting over Coaxial and UTP cable (copper), provides POE / POE+, generates long-distance transmission, has central PoC/PoW management, of a wide line of products, and offered at a very competitive price.

As for the real applications that this device can offer, stands out because its use can be implemented in different and varied sectors such as casinos, shopping malls, Parking lots, university campuses, elevators, Banking, coaxial locations that need to be converted to IP, locations with UTP that must exceed the cable distance or locations with only 2 old telephone cables and cable that need to use IP, among many others.

An ideal solution that allows migration to IP beyond existing boundaries.
