At the 179 branches and 36 business centers of the Bank of New Zealand, a range of Altronix products supplies power to analog and IP cameras and other security equipment. With more than a decade of experience with Altronix, the bank has experienced the highest levels of reliability using the company's products.
"Since we first specified Altronix solutions, we have not experienced a single failure, which speaks for itself," said Karen Timpson, Security Operations Manager, Bank of New Zealand.
The bank uses a variety of products from Altronix, a global supplier of low voltage power supplies and accessories for the electronic security industry. In addition to wall-mount and rack-mount analog power supplies, the bank employs Altronix unshielded twisted pair (UTP) transceivers to transmit video across structured cabling and video power supplies models to provide centralized power in a rack configuration.
Mark Massicks, GM of Asset Security Distribution, says Altronix breadth of products and field proven reputation were factors in choosing the company's technology and solutions for the Bank of New Zealand. Altronix extensive product line has readily met the bank's evolving power requirements as video surveillance technologies have evolved. The Bank of New Zealand standardized on versatile Altronix rack-mount power supplies for analog video in 2006 when it rolled out a new DVR platform.
In 2009, the bank upgraded from utilizing coaxial cable by switching to UTP for analog video transmission, implementing UTP solutions. Hubway transceivers coupled with video balun/combiners allow the bank to continue to use existing AC and DC analog cameras. The new cable infrastructure enables migration to IP video when and where required by adding Altronix power and pass data for PoE compliant cameras/edge devices.
