D-Link Introduces One-Stop Surveillance System

D-Link has launched the new One-Stop system, an end-to-end solution aimed at organizations adopting an IP surveillance system and that contributes to schools, retailers, and SMEs surveillance, switch, security and software.

As uncertainty caused by the eurozone crisis continues to influence markets around the world, Businesses look to cut costs and reduce their dependence on expensive technical support teams. to do it, They must consolidate infrastructure and improve cost efficiency. However, and despite the intentions to reduce expenses, different organizations cannot eliminate investments in basic security systems to maintain proper functioning.

This way, The best way to overcome this challenge is to adopt hybrid network infrastructure., that can handle both data networks and IP surveillance. So, D-Link makes the One-Stop security solution available to companies, that reduces the costs and complexity usually associated with the deployment of IP surveillance systems. One-Stop Infrastructure Incorporates Surveillance, Switch, Security and Software, the four most important components for a secure security system, reliable and manageable. Being a hybrid solution, D-Link IP surveillance is a relatively low investment, which would significantly reduce the costs associated with the service and its maintenance, in addition to reducing stress on integrative systems.

The director and CEO of D-Link, Roger Kao, has explained that the One-Stop solution goes back “seven years ago, when D-Link began its transformation from a simple networking technology vendor to a complete end-to-end solutions provider. With more than 25 years of experience as a leader within the networking industry, D-Link has invested heavily in the emerging IP Surveillance sector. The culmination of these efforts is a One-Stop Solution, designed to offer different companies, an efficient and hassle-free infrastructure”.

Experts estimate that the number of IP surveillance cameras deployed worldwide will exceed analog cameras by 2014. As this transition accelerates, IP surveillance has become both a concern and responsibility of companies' IT departments. Along with a series of advantages, IP surveillance provides high-resolution images that capture great clarity and detail, compared to analogous systems. IP surveillance features more robust handling and a variety of functions that simplifies installation and configuration. For example, when using PoE, a single cable transmits power and data, for a minimally invasive installation.

Schools, retailers, and SMEs can benefit from the simplicity that One-Stop solutions provide. In particular, D-Link One-Stop solutions offer some of the following benefits:

Native Integration

D-Link seamlessly integrates “two” networks, data and surveillance, eliminating the need for extra expensive infrastructure. The wiring and hardware set achieves what would previously have required the redundant purchase of virtually the same hardware.

Easy installation and configuration

D-Link switches include VLAN Self-Surveillance feature, which automatically detects cameras and places them within their own VLAN. Data and video traffic is appropriately prioritized with minimal administration. Before, This traffic segmentation and management would have required one or more network people dedicated to managing the networks.

Centralized management

More than managing individual cameras and video recorders separately, D-View and D-ViewCam software provide a central management point for network and captured footage security.

Simplified problem solving

More than contacting several distributors to solve hardware problems such as switches, cameras and storage devices, a single salesperson handles everything. There is no need to first diagnose the problem of a specific device, as D-Link is the single point of contact for everything.

Guaranteed interoperability

Since the switches, the cameras, Storage and software are all D-Link, interoperability is guaranteed. No need to worry about the compatibility of hardware components and software from different vendors.

D-Link is able to offer the best benefits by concentrating the four major infrastructure components of a shared data and surveillance network.. Each of these components integrates seamlessly with the others for a truly unified platform..

Switch

D-Link switches are particularly useful for a mixed environment that includes both data and surveillance traffic. An optimized IP surveillance solution requires uninterrupted connectivity. This, generally, requires elaborate QoS and virtual networking controls that must be configured by administrators with advanced knowledge. D-Link switches eliminate these concerns with a feature called VLAN Self-Surveillance.. Switches automatically detect and add specified cameras to the VLAN, eliminating the need for manual configuration. This surveillance network, although it uses the same network infrastructure, is designed to ensure that minimum bandwidth is available for surveillance traffic, independent of data network performance. This means that even at high traffic events, a reliable surveillance input is maintained.

Surveillance

In recent years, D-Link has cultivated a wide line of useful IP surveillance cameras to install in different scenarios, whether indoors or outdoors, day or night. When used in combination with PoE switches, Certain camera models can be powered with a mains cable, reducing the need for electrical wiring. This allows cameras to be placed in places that would have been inaccessible before.. When combined with other D-Link wireless solutions, Cameras can be placed virtually anywhere for more complete monitoring.

Storage

Surveillance systems require a specialized type of storage to keep up with a constant flow of data. D-Link Accessible Storage Networks (Storage Accesible Networks – SAN, by its acronym in English), and Network Video Recorders (NVR), are solutions designed specifically to manage IP surveillance recordings. Administrators can securely maintain a repository of surveillance material, redundant and easy to manage. D-Link storage solutions can also be expanded when necessary.

Software

Any modern surveillance solution would not be complete without management software that will take care of both aspects of the Network. D-View and D-ViewCam software offer a highly intuitive graphical interface that allows you to manage all aspects of your network and IP surveillance infrastructure., respectively.
