OT Systems announced the installation of their industrial PoE switches to enhance and extend the transmission capabilities for a system featuring more than 200 PoE IP and dome cameras needed to protect pedestrians in the newly opened circular, Citizen Footbridge in Taipia, Macau.
The surveillance system uses more than 200 PoE IP and dome IP cameras to monitor footbridges, gateways, escalators, lifts, stairs and the surrounding areas monitored by the system. OT System's industrial PoE switches were installed to offer the system an extended transmission distance on the footbridge without adding additional infrastructure or cabling to The Macau Government – Department of Infrastructure Development.
SOLUTION
This innovative and extensive system features 60 industrial switches on the camera end and 60 industrial Ethernet switches rack-mounted in the 19-inch chassis in the control center. One industrial switch connects up to four IP cameras with maximum 30W output power for each camera. Its output power is capable of supporting power hungry devices including PTZ IP cameras. The switch can extend the Ethernet distance up to 20km via fiber links, offering easy connection to the system's control center for security control management.
The Ethernet switch used comes equipped with four Ethernet ports, comes in a rugged aluminum case and works from -10 to 60°C, enabling it to operate in the high-temperature of the outdoor locations in the Footbridge system.
Industrial Ethernet switch card modules are installed at the control center which passes the received Ethernet signal to the surveillance system inside the center. All modules are placed in the 19-inch rack mount chassis. The hot-swap feature allows a failure card module to be unplugged from the chassis without any service interruption to the other modules located within the same chassis.
