D-Link presents the One-Stop surveillance system

D-Link has launched the new One-Stop system, an end-to-end solution aimed at helping organizations adopt an IP surveillance system and that provides schools, retailers, and SMEs with surveillance, switch, security and software.

While the uncertainty caused by the Eurozone crisis continues to influence markets around the world, businesses are looking to cut costs and reduce their dependence on expensive technical support equipment. To do so, they must consolidate infrastructure and improve cost efficiency. However, and despite the intentions to reduce spending, different organizations cannot eliminate investments in basic security systems to maintain proper operation.

This way, la mejor forma de superar este desafío es con la adopción de infraestructura de redes híbrida, que puedan manejar ambas redes de datos y vigilancia IP. So, D-Link pone a disposición de las empresas la solución de seguridad One-Stop, que reduce los costes y complejidad que usualmente se asocian al despliegue de sistemas de vigilancia IP. La infraestructura One-Stop incorpora Vigilancia, Switch, Seguridad y Software, los cuatro componentes más importantes para un sistema de seguridad seguro, confiable y manejable. Al ser una solución híbrida, la vigilancia IP de D-Link es una inversión relativamente baja, que reduciría significativamente los costes asociados al servicio y su mantenimiento, además de reducir la tensión sobre los sistemas integradores.

El director y CEO de D-Link, Roger Kao, ha explicado que la solución One-Stop se remonta “siete años atrás, cuando D-Link comenzó su transformación desde una simple vendedor de tecnología de networking hacia un completo proveedor de soluciones end-to-end. With more than 25 años de experiencia como líder dentro de la industria de networking, D-Link ha invertido fuertemente en el incipiente sector de la Vigilancia IP. La culminación de estos esfuerzos es una solución One-Stop, diseñada para ofrecer a las diferentes empresas, una infraestructura eficiente y libre de complicaciones”.

Expertos estiman que el número de cámaras de vigilancia IP desplegadas a nivel mundial superará las cámaras análogas para 2014. A medida que esta transición se acelera, la vigilancia IP se ha convertido tanto en una preocupación como responsabilidad de los departamentos TI de las compañías. Junto con una serie de ventajas, la vigilancia IP provee imágenes de alta resolución que capturan con gran claridad y detalles, comparados con los sistemas análogos. La vigilancia IP presenta un manejo más robusto y una variedad de funciones que simplifica la instalación y configuración. For example, al usar PoE, un solo cable transmite la energía y los datos, para una instalación mínimamente invasiva.

Escuelas, retailers, y Pymes pueden ganar de la simplicidad que otorgan las soluciones One-Stop. In particular, las soluciones One-Stop de D-Link ofrecen algunos de los siguientes beneficios:

Integración Nativa

D-Link integra perfectamente “dos” redes, datos y vigilancia, eliminating the need for extra costly infrastructure. The cabling and hardware set achieves what would previously have required the redundant purchase of virtually the same hardware.

Easy installation and setup

D-Link switches include the Auto Surveillance VLAN feature, which automatically detects cameras and places them within their own VLAN. Data and video traffic is properly prioritized with minimal management. Previously, this segmentation and traffic management would have required one or more dedicated network personnel to manage the networks.

Centralized management

Rather than managing cameras and video recorders individually and separately, The D-View and D-ViewCam software provide a centralized management point for the network and the security of captured material.

Simplified troubleshooting

Instead of contacting various vendors to solve hardware issues like switches, cameras, and storage devices, a single vendor handles everything. There is no need to first diagnose the problem of a specific device, since D-Link is the only point of contact for everything.

Guaranteed interoperability

Since the switches,, the cameras, storage, and software are all D-Link, interoperability is guaranteed. There is no need to worry about compatibility between hardware components and software from different providers.

D-Link is capable of offering the best benefits by concentrating the four largest components of a surveillance and shared data network infrastructure. Each of these components integrates seamlessly with the others for a truly unified platform.

Switch

D-Link switches are particularly useful for a mixed environment that includes both data and surveillance traffic. An optimized IP surveillance solution requires uninterrupted connectivity. This, generally, it requires elaborate QoS and virtual networking controls that must be configured by administrators with advanced knowledge. D-Link switches eliminate these concerns thanks to a feature called Auto Surveillance VLAN. Los switches detectan y agregan automáticamente las cámaras especificadas a la VLAN, eliminando la necesidad de una configuración manual. Esta red de vigilancia, aunque usa la misma infraestructura de red, está diseñada para asegurar que el mínimo de ancho de banda esté disponible para el tráfico de vigilancia, independiente del desempeño de la red de datos. Esto significa que incluso en eventos de gran tráfico, un insumo confiable de la vigilancia se mantiene.

Surveillance

In recent years, D-Link ha cultivado una amplia línea de cámaras de vigilancia IP útiles para instalar en diferentes escenarios, ya sea al interior o exterior, by day or by night. Cuando se usan en combinación con switches PoE, determinados modelos de cámara pueden ser alimentados de energía con un cable de red, which reduces the need for electrical wiring. This allows the cameras to be placed in locations that would previously have been inaccessible. When combined with other D-Link wireless solutions, the cameras can be placed virtually anywhere for more comprehensive monitoring.

Storage

Surveillance systems require a specialized type of storage to keep up with a constant data stream. D-Link Accessible Storage Networks (Accessible Storage Networks – SAN, by its initials in English), and Network Video Recorders (NVR), are solutions specifically designed to manage IP surveillance recordings. Administrators can securely maintain a repository of surveillance material, redundant and easy to manage. D-Link's storage solutions can also be expanded when needed.

Software

Any modern surveillance solution wouldn't be complete without management software that handles both aspects of the network. D-View and D-ViewCam software provide a very intuitive graphical interface that allows managing all aspects of the network and IP surveillance infrastructure, respectively.
