Reliable video surveillance for demanding environments with KBC Networks industrial switches

Both for a quick and effective solution, such as for complex and/or redundant networks, these devices that ProdexTec markets in the Iberian market, Provide the network stability needed for security systems.

The stability of video surveillance systems depends in part on the switches that interconnect cameras and recording systems. When it comes to the installation of security systems in unconditioned environments, The task of choosing the switch becomes more complicated and the number of suitable options on the market decreases considerably.

The first criterion to consider in industrial environments and harsh environments is the robustness of the devices. In the case of KBC Networks, distributed by ProdexTec in Spain and Portugal, One of its characteristics is the reliability of the equipment, which can operate in the range of -40ºC to 75ºC, Withstand vibration and humidity.

KBC Networks switches have a redundant power input and alarm output. Another advantage they bring to video surveillance systems are PoE options, PoE+ and PoE++, as well as its ability to manage jumbo frames for high-resolution and 4K video transmission, which together provides greater flexibility and versatility when it comes to connecting the PTZ cameras that currently exist on the market.

The configuration interface of these devices has a simple design that allows the user to manage the equipment effectively and take advantage of the options to manage and monitor data traffic.

An interesting option to consider is low-voltage switches, that bring PoE to surveillance cameras or any IP device connected to the switch's Ethernet ports. These solutions are currently used in remote locations, typically in solar-powered installations.

KBC Networks Equipment Is Resilient, This makes it possible to combine all the necessary devices in the same network without losing the reliability of the system, even in extreme environments. In the case of video surveillance networks, Media Converters, SFPs, VPN hardware devices and the eCopper series provide a variety of combinations to create stable and easy-to-configure systems, based on different technologies and means of transmission.
