IP network video surveillance

IP video surveillance equipment has become the preferred solution for new surveillance installations as well as upgrades to legacy CCTV systems. Whether for protection of assets, personnel or monitoring the operations of a manufacturing facility, intelligent IP-based video surveillance provides features and capabilities well beyond traditional analog camera systems.

With the development of megapixel video cameras, image quality and resolution has taken a major leap forward that allows for fewer cameras capturing more information that can be analyzed in more detail than was ever available from analog systems. Features such as electronic pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) replace the need for expensive mechanically driven cameras of the past. Instead of scanning an area with an analog camera, a multi-lens megapixel camera can capture the entire 180 or 360 degree panorama dramatically increasing the surveillance data for live view or after-the-fact analysis. 

As with any technology, the design, installation and configuration of the IP video network is critical to its performance and reliability. All aspects of the system from camera resolution to lens selection as well as storage systems and software must be designed to provide the best possible solution for the user. DCT’s technical staff works with each customer from design to implementation and on-going support to provide a cost effective, single source solution.

Project Management

DCT’s core competency is in providing a single point of contact and project management teams for technology deployments. Our engineers will work with your IT department to advise you on the latest technologies and best solutions for your enterprise. Our goal is to help your company deploy a wireless network that will grow with your business.

Design

Deployment of a wireless network requires careful planning including objective definition and thorough site surveys. Wireless Networks can be complicated to implement in high interference areas and be incompatible with existing equipment. WLANs are best used in addition to - rather than a replacement of wired networks. Our engineers will assure proper planning when designing and implementing your wireless network. The complexity of your network will vary depending on the obstacles within and the size of your facility.

Site Surveys

Prior to installing any wireless devices we perform a radio frequency (RF) test in order to better understand the behavior of radio waves within a facility. This is recommended because various obstacles such as doors, walls, elevator shafts and people might affect the radio frequency pattern, causing it to be irregular and unpredictable. Even if you are using omni-directional antennas, radio waves do not travel the same distance in all directions. The RF test can also detect any radio interference that might come from other sources and could affect the performance of the wireless LAN negatively. The ultimate goal of the site survey and RF test is to help determine the number and placement of the access points.

Installation

DCT will deploy our team of experts to install the wireless solution to the most current industry standards, from the physical layer to the logical layer. DCT can install a new structured cabling backbones and configure your existing system to eliminate administrative downtime and maximize the full potential of your new WLAN infrastructure.

Post Survey

Once the turn-key design and installation is complete, DCT will perform a post survey to record signal strength of the new network thus eliminating dark areas. Through a complete approach to wireless installations, DCT can deliver a network that minimizes impact to existing systems while increasing ease of use for users.

distributed antenna systems (DAS)

Wireless technologies are empowering the enterprise. From conducting business more efficiently to enhancing the patient experience to increasing access to educational resources campus-wide, indoor wireless service is a must have in today’s fast paced wireless world.

To some, “wireless” equates to Wi-Fi enabled laptops, but it’s much more than that - the world today relies on mobile and smart phones, BlackBerry devices, PDAs, and two-way radios to communicate. Your employees, customers, clients, students, patients or guests need ALL these wireless tools to work - especially indoors!

In many organizations, mobile phones, Blackberry and other mobile devices are the primary means of communication for both voice and data applications.  When these devices are used inside a building, however, materials such as concrete and steel weaken signals. More and more companies are turning to in-building wireless solutions to solve these communication problems.

WiFi / WLAN Network Design / Engineering

Deployment of a wireless network requires careful planning. Business requirements and objectives need to be evaluated and a site survey must be undertaken to determine possible sources of interference. WiFi Networks can be tricky to implement in high interference areas, be incompatible with existing equipment and can open up security risks. WLANs are best used in addition to - rather than a replacement to wired networks. Our engineers will assure proper planning when designing and implementing your wireless network. The complexity of your network will vary depending on the obstacles within and the size of your facility.

Site Surveys

A site survey is always performed first. This is a physical survey of the customer's premises to locate the best possible places to install access points and ensure 100% wireless coverage and optimum performance.
Before installing any wireless devices we perform a radio frequency (RF) test in order to better understand the behavior of radio waves within a facility. This is recommended because various obstacles such as doors, walls, elevator shafts and people might affect the radio frequency pattern, causing it to be irregular and unpredictable. Even if you are using omni-directional antennas, radio waves do not travel the same distance in all directions. The RF test can also detect any radio interference that might come from other sources and could affect the performance of the wireless LAN negatively. The ultimate goal of the site survey and RF test is to help determine the number and placement of the access points.

Access Points - WLAN Installation

DCT will integrate the WiFi system into your current network as well as install all the required wireless equipment and certify its operation. All cabling and power runs should be done and tested prior to the installation of access points.

Below is a list of activities that one might expect during an installation:

Mounting of access points
Installation of enclosures on case-by-case basis (physical security)
Mounting of antennas
Connection of antennas to access points
Connection of Backbone LAN to access points
Connection of power to access points
Installation and connection of remote power system
Verification of coverage

Configuration of access points and hardware to include:

Proper firmware level
Radio information (SSID, channel, bit rate)
IP addresses
Verification of backbone connectivity

The Advantages of WiFi Networks / WLANs

Mobility

The most obvious and significant advantage of WiFi networks. Workers can access shared resources without looking for a cable and a place to plug in.
