Working on an offshore platform is not easy. They operate 24/7/365 with 12-hour shifts. Workers are isolated on platforms for weeks or months, often working in hazardous conditions such as high winds, heavy mud, subzero temperatures, and strong seas. Given the risks associated with offshore drilling and pumping, platforms use surveillance systems to monitor weather […]

Understanding the Benefits of Each Power Level Ensuring a consistent flow of power and connectivity to IP cameras can be a challenge. When deploying a surveillance camera network, choosing the right PoE switch will not only supply sufficient power and data to components but will also streamline setup and enhance network performance. This guide will […]
For 175 years, people have repeated the old adage, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Some have even applied this concept to technology, believing that appearance and functionality may change, but the core principles and underlying functions are constants. For example, computers still rely on binary code despite decades of innovation. […]
You know the scene: law enforcement officers huddled around a video monitor. Someone shouts, “Stop!” while pointing out an image on the screen. Then come the questions—can you zoom in, rotate the image, or go back two minutes? After a flurry of keyboard taps, the officers pull that all-important still frame that identifies the guilty […]
Time, speed, and space are driving the growth in Ethernet technologies and, by extension, the future of power over Ethernet (PoE) development. Time-sensitive protocols allow Ethernet-based networks to deliver accurate data in real-time. In-vehicle connectivity can continue to advance through improved telematics and infotainment. With increased data transmission speeds, Ethernet’s support of time-sensitive networking (TSN) […]
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a game-changer in modern networking, enabling power and data delivery to various devices over a single Ethernet cable. As businesses increasingly adopt hybrid networking configurations, understanding PoE device compatibility and interoperability is paramount. While compatibility and interoperability are related concepts, they refer to different aspects of Power over Ethernet implementation. […]
