With the increase in IP camera resolution from Standard Resolution to 1080p to 4K UHD, many are asking when the time will be right to move to a 4K monitor

• Is the monitor I have sufficient?
• What is a HiDPI display versus a Retina display?
• Why...

A great technical question was posed to us last week on a 3rd party security technology evaluation site, IPVM. In this post we re-post the spirit of the question and explore Bosch's CBIT technology which will eventually lead us to a comparison to...

What is NERC-CIP-014?

We are encountering this standard with greater frequency in the course of involvement with electrical substation physical security.

Electrical substation physical security is a major concern, and it is important that we clearly...

Sometimes gaining a clear understanding of security products is more confusing than it needs to be.

This short video provides a real-life example of how a 360 degree camera works. Special thanks to Josh and Matt at New ERA for sharing this...

This free class includes basics of video surveillance system design from camera to recording with discussions about various Ethernet,  copper, and fiber optic transmission methods.

Providing power backup local to the IP camera is a challenge.

Provide that to an IP camera connected over fiber optic cable and you're reaching an entirely new level of technical capability.

Steve Pennington takes us on a short journey down the...

Bosch is leading the new-tech charge with several major announcements:

• New 180 and 360 degree cameras - 12 megapixel @ 30ips!
• New PTZ series for mid-range applications - integrated IR
• New intrusion alarm panel with dozens of technology upgrades

...

Not all electronic devices are created equal.  

We go into electronics purchases knowing this. We try to compare the nuances that make each apple unique. We want to know that we're getting the perfect device for our project at the right price.

The...

End users and integrators have come up with very creative ways to leverage existing infrastructure for IP cameras and overall Ethernet data transmission. One of the challenges that is beyond control is the continually increasing power demand of new...
