Small-Scale Video Surveillance Network
In a Point of Sale (POS) and security camera installation with a limited number of cameras, a single or small group of Allied Telesis WebSmart Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches is an ideal solution because of its simplified network configuration and maintenance requirements.
Example Retail Store Scenario
The retail store is a single unit within a strip mall. To prevent shoplifting and employee theft/fraud, the owner installs a surveillance system. This improves employee and customer safety, and deters shoplifting. This type of project requires multiple cameras due to the layout of the store. Most of the cameras are installed inside the store, with a few cameras installed outside to monitor the front and rear entrance. The physical layout of this site is small, so all of the cameras are connected to a single switch, which uses existing Internet connectivity.
