New PoE Switch Portfolio for Businesses
Market trends show that global shipments of Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch devices are outperforming sales of traditional switches. This is hardly surprising, as small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) looking to deploy seamless connectivity and mobility with wireless are investing in VoIP technologies and handsets for voice and are securing their business premises with IP surveillance technologies.

Trouble-free Installation Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a standards-based technology complying to IEEE 802.3af providing up to 15.4W per device, or IEEE802.3at, providing up to 30W per device. As a technology, PoE enables users to place devices such as wireless LAN access points (AP), IP surveillance cameras or IP phones exactly where they want them. The devices are provided with power directly through the Ethernet cable, so there is no need to have a separate power supply or to have costly electrical engineers putting AC power sockets in ceilings or roof spaces. Extension of ZyXELs Switch Range In addition to the existing PoE devices available, ZyXEL has developed a new range of unmanaged Ethernet PoE switches. ZyXELs ES1100 series of PoE switches is designed to offer small businesses a first introduction to PoE. With the new range of PoE injectors/extenders, the PoE-12HP and PoE-12HPO, ZyXEL offers SMB resellers the opportunity to deliver higher power at around 20W or to extend the range of the Ethernet cable outside of the building with the PoE-12HPO. Both solutions are designed to support the increased power demands of the latest generation of wireless N APs and pan, tilt or zoom functions of IP surveillance cameras. Plug and Play Ease of Use The PoE-12HP and PoE-12HPO are easy to use and do not need any configuration. Since only simple inbound and outbound cable plugging is required, the installation is very straightforward and can be performed by users without experience in electrical wiring and without extra costs. PoE-12HP PoE Injector The PoE-12HP single-port PoE Injector delivers both high power and data to other PoE devices via a single CAT-5 Ethernet cable without extra power

The ZLD 2.20 June patch presents more than ten major improvements, including cloud-based malware protection, enabling users to experience security at todays business speed.
New Challenges, New Opportunities Content filtering is facing new challenges and opportunities. As the evolving Web makes managing appropriate surfing and bandwidth use more difficult, it also introduces new security threats that filtering may be uniquely well suited to address. However, the web content security role makes inaccurate site rating, poor coverage, and delayed rating of new URLs even more costly. Cloud-based Dynamic Link Analysis Categorising New Websites on the Fly The malware threat first of all comes from existing legitimate websites that are attacked with embedded links. On top of that, tens of millions of new pages are created every month. Web crawlers and data mining are prone to finding irrelevant pages, and such a boil the ocean approach finds new pages too slowly. High coverage requires the ability to rate new pages in

IP SURVEILLANCE

Evolving CCTV to IP Surveillance on Industry-proven Switching Technologies
Resellers and security surveillance installers migration from traditional Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) to IP or convergence-based technology is a major trend today. By establishing alliances with some of the worlds leading surveillance manufacturers, ZyXEL is delivering certified switching solutions that guarantee interoperability, quality of service (QoS), remote accessibility as well as simplified installation and management.
Growing Demand IP-based video surveillance makes up the majority of the overall surveillance market. The migration to IP-based video surveillance systems brings many important benefits to the installer and end user, such as improved video quality, flexible deployment, manageability, scalability and intelligent content analysis. Furthermore, new camera and surveillance technology is driving the demand for a better communication infrastructure. More businesses are therefore looking to add IP surveillance to their core network infrastructure, as opposed to having separate analogue installations. Better Performance and Interoperability Traditional analogue CCTV operators or resellers aiming to smoothly migrate to IP surveillance are looking for better video monitoring and capture quality. An IP-based architecture can guarantee reliable connectivity, network bandwidth, security and optimises the quality of video transmissions, enhancing performance for the end user. Ease of deployment and interoperability with leading surveillance manufacturers are other key factors influencing the performance and manageability of video IP networks. Network Architecture Ethernet is the most popular LAN technology to establish reliable connections between end systems and the IP network. When designing IP surveillance environments, users should consider how many network devices (IP cameras, switches and computers) are required, what resilience is needed and what type of transmission will be used. This helps them to define what kind of architecture to deploy and what speed to pursue. Bandwidth Requirements The amount of bandwidth required is determined by the number of cameras, the quality of image, the amount of real time monitoring and the required storage capacity. As the deployment is defined, the decision needs to be made whether to deploy a converged IP surveillance network

or rather an isolated standalone installation. IP surveillance over a converged network offers the advantage that videos can be transferred via the existing network, the traffic being completely isolated from traditional network data.
Why Migrate to IP Surveillance?
As IP networks have become the standard infrastructure for businesses to run their applications, security surveillance is no exception. Combined with the latest high-definition camera and surveillance monitoring solutions, IP-based surveillance systems offer resellers a number of advantages: Ease of Installation In traditional analogue CCTV networks, video signals are transmitted through dedicated coaxial cables to a particular monitor or recording site on a one-to-one basis. This leads to extensive cabling and a solution which is much harder to evolve or develop as the business or surveillance requirement grows. IP networks, however, use a totally different principle: all devices on the network share the same medium. Using the existing IP network while utilising the PoE technology to power the IP camera directly from the IP switch, cabling and labour costs can be reduced, and cameras can be positioned more flexibly. Ease of Operation Multiple sites and remote locations can be managed more easily over an IP network. This enables resellers or businesses to operate and remain in control of the security situation more easily.
Enhanced Quality of Service Guaranteed efficiency and quality of the network services is the key, and images need to be delivered to multiple recorders or management stations for maximum flexibility. The combination of PoE and Virtual LAN (VLAN) technologies allow for better management, reduced installation costs and segmentation of camera images when delivered to multiple locations while guaranteeing the quality of captured image across the IP network. Future-proof, Scalable Solutions When installing IP-based surveillance solutions, both resellers and businesses benefit from the advantages of scalable standards-based technologies: if the network needs expansion or the images require more bandwidth, it is easy to add additional surveillance devices. In traditional analogue solutions, dedicated coaxial cables are needed to run all devices; in contrast, IP networks are already massively deployed and can be configured to securely share the network among all business applications. Power over Ethernet Installation and manageability of IP cameras can be simplified with the use of Ethernet or Gigabit PoE devices. These ease the complexity of the installation by providing power directly to the IP camera in the same RJ-45 cable as the video transmission. Using this technology makes the installation of cameras in high or difficult to reach locations much easier.
