Mainly transmission methods commonly used in CCTV & Surveillance System
When our customers install CCTV & Surveillance systems, they will prepare different designs according to the other circumstances of their clients. Using the correct installation design will improve the stability of the monitoring system and improve the construction efficiency, also can reduce costs. Today, ZION COMMUNICATION will tell you about several programs in the data transmission of digital monitoring.
One camera, one power supply, a PC of network cable

Power cable transmission 220V AC, each camera requires one power supply to power. The network cable is used to transfer data to the VCR. Both are indispensable.
Using POE switches
This way, only use the 8-core network cable as a transmission medium, no longer need a power cord, and its transmission distance can reach 160 meters. It is said that some manufacturers can now reach 250 meters through non-standard models. ZION COMMUNICATION supplies good quality cat5e for POE switches:
