IP Video Systems
IP surveillance systems are relatively new to the market. In a typical
IP-based video surveillance system, network (IP) cameras are
connected directly to the Local Area Network (LAN) and transport
digital video across the IP network via UTP cabling and switches,
recording video to any PC or server on the network. Since the cameras
are IP addressable, they are able to be accessed from anywhere in
the world, provided the user has the sucient network access and
security privileges.
Benets of Using Fiber Optics
in Video Security and Surveillance
In the ever-increasing reach of today’s video security and surveillance
systems, many security professionals are nding that the quality,
bandwidth and distance needed to perform even the most basic
surveillance is beyond the reach of coaxial and UTP cabling. In fact,
even though IP-based video security systems are gaining popularity,
they face a serious distance limitation of 100 meters (328ft) or less
over UTP cabling infrastructure. This poses an insurmountable hurdle
when trying to monitor the many outreach locations of a typical
surveillance installation.
While fairing slightly better in copper distance limitations, most
analog-based CCTV systems prove eective and economical only if
the coaxial cabling runs are held to less than 750ft (228m). Utilizing
coax beyond that distance, however, poses a number of problems,
some of which are not immediately obvious. For instance, let’s say
your monitor is located 1,000ft (304m) from the camera. In that
scenario, without any active signal conditioning, approximately
37 percent of the high frequency information will be lost in
transmission, providing a seriously degraded image. In fact, since
you cannot see information that is not there, you may not even
realize that information has been deleted.
To accommodate lengths greater than 750ft (228m) on a coax infrastructure, you must make certain that some provision has been made
to guarantee the video signal’s transmission strength such as the use
of signal amplication, ground fault correction and surge protection.
Installing these items will inevitably increase the cost of the system
considerably, making alternative cabling methods more attractive.
In fact, the use of ber optic cable will allow for cable runs of over
1500m (5,000ft) on multimode and distances of over 10km (6.2 miles)
on single-mode cable. In addition to distance extension, ber optics
also presents a number of other unique benets not present in either
coax or UTP cabling:
• Smaller size and better tensile strength, making it easier to install
when pulling through conduit or in overhead cable trays
• High degree of security as ber is inherently
dicult to tap into or interfere with
• Immunity to electrical interference such as:
o Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
o Radio frequency interference (RFI)
o High voltages found in uorescent lights, card
access door strikes and outdoor lighting systems
o Induced voltages (ground loops), which cause
picture distortion and audio interference
• Higher bandwidth
• Improved reliability and overall transmission performance
Local area networks (LANs) very commonly deploy ber optics as the
network backbone between buildings or in vertical risers of multistory
buildings. Utilizing this infrastructure already in place would be an
attractive transmission alternative to risking the distance and quality
issues common to coax and UTP video systems. Accessing this ber
optic cabling can be a challenge for most video security professionals,
as the majority of new cameras and monitors on the market today are
unavailable with ber optic ports on them. In addition, most existing
video security and surveillance systems were designed and installed
with coax or UTP cabling. To improve the quality, bandwidth and
distance of these existing systems by transporting the video on ber
optic cabling, a method is required to convert the electrical video
signal over to an optical format.
IP Video Conversion
• Ethernet Media Converters – powered devices that convert an
IP- based video signal on UTP over to a ber optic medium
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) Media Converters – powered devices
that convert an IP-based video signal UTP over to a ber optic
medium, as well as inject the power onto the UTP necessary to
power remote IP cameras
Media converters come in a variety of form factors and sizes ranging
from miniature, standalone devices that attach directly to a camera to
managed, chassis-based devices allowing for full SNMP monitoring
and management of the media converters.
In addition to providing a means for transparently connecting one
type of media to another, media conversion can provide a cost-eective method for integrating a hybrid video security and surveillance
system into one, seamless and manageable entity. Imagine the cost
savings that can be realized by utilizing an existing, analog-based
CCTV infrastructure, while implementing the latest technology of
IP-based cameras for specialized video capture, storage or analysis,
as well as additional surveillance locations.
Access Video Any Time, Any Place
With IP-based systems, video feeds are encoded into Motion JPEG or
MPEG-4/H.264 formats and stored as a digital image on a computer
disk array. This provides the ability to access the video, by way of the
networked digital video recorder, through the IP network at any time,
from any place. These digital images do not degrade in quality from
duplication like analog recordings on magnetic tape. They can be
replicated and posted on web servers, distributed to law enforcement
as E-mail attachments, and sent to news outlets. When analog-based
systems were the norm, loss prevention/investigations sta had to
visit the location of the incident to view the video on a tape or
DVD, which would need to be shipped by overnight courier. These
ineciencies no longer exist with IP-based systems and WAN
connectivity to the physical location.

IP CCTV Design
In an IP-CCTV design, the cable is an important link from equipment to camera. Category cables such as Category 5E and
Category 6 UTP are essential to this design. The cabling distance of category cables is up to 330ft. For distances beyond 330ft,
ber optic cables are needed with media converters. Fiber media converters support many dierent data communication
protocols including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet overtwisted pair, multimode and single-mode ber optics. Media converter types
range from small standalone devices and PC card converters to high port-density chassis systems that oer many advanced
features for network management.

equipment located in the telecommunications room (TR). This cabling generally extends horizontally
along oors, walls and ceilings.
