Video surveillance<\/a> needs a reliable stream of high-quality video, and choosing the right network infrastructure is critically important. There are pros and cons to each type of switch configuration<\/a> and the perfect fit really just depends on the needs of your company’s network. For applications involving more than just a few cameras, you need a network to connect the digital cameras to the servers that store and analyze video data.<\/p>\n

A switch<\/a> enables multiple devices to be connected onto the same network, and to control or restrict how those devices communicate, you must have the ability to configure the switch. The amount of control you have depends on the type of switch: managed, unmanaged, or somewhere in between. Examining the benefits of each switch type<\/a> lets you make the right decision for your specific application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
 <\/th>\n <\/th>\nManaged<\/th>\n <\/th>\nUnmanaged<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Control<\/td>\n <\/td>\nYou can control traffic, network design, security, power
\n\t\t\tfor connected devices and more. The switch can be
\n\t\t\tcontrolled remotely with no need for a truck roll.<\/td>\n		 <\/td>\nSwitch behavior is entirely controlled by the
\n\t\t\tmanufacturer. To reboot, a person must be present to
\n\t\t\tpower cycle the switch.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Visibility<\/td>\n <\/td>\nThe switch provides full reports about its state and the
\n\t\t\ttraffic it is forwarding. It can generate alerts if user
\n\t\t\tthresholds are breached.<\/td>\n		 <\/td>\nThe switch has no way of reporting its status or the type
\n\t\t\tand amount of traffic it’s forwarding.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Resiliency<\/td>\n <\/td>\nMany features enable the switch to control network issues and recover automatically from faults. Video quality is maintained despite disruptions.<\/td>\n <\/td>\nThe switch has few mechanisms to handle network
\n\t\t\tdisruptions. This can affect video quality or sometimes
\n\t\t\tcause video loss.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Trouble-
\n\t\t\tshooting<\/td>\n		 <\/td>\nThe switch can diagnose faults anywhere on the
\n\t\t\tnetwork to quickly resolve issues and proactively test
\n\t\t\tthe network to help prevent faults from occurring.<\/td>\n		 <\/td>\nThe switch cannot report its status. Therefore, other
\n\t\t\tdevices or tools must be used to diagnose problems.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Installation<\/td>\n <\/td>\nRequires skilled personnel for best installation results.<\/td>\n <\/td>\nSince there is no configuration required, most switches
\n\t\t\tare plug and play\u2014ideal for simple setups.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Flexibility<\/td>\n <\/td>\nSeveral features allow the switch to change behavior to
\n\t\t\tsuit new network conditions. Some react in real-time to
\n\t\t\tsave manual intervention and provide superior network
\n\t\t\tagility.<\/td>\n		 <\/td>\nWith no ability to alter its behavior, the switch cannot
\n\t\t\tadapt to changing network requirements. This can lead
\n\t\t\tto more frequent equipment refreshes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Security<\/td>\n <\/td>\nThe switch can control users, network access,
\n\t\t\tdetection of intruders, and block unknown devices.
\n\t\t\tSome threats can be blocked before they affect the rest
\n\t\t\tof the network.<\/td>\n		 <\/td>\nThe switch can\u2019t prevent an attacker from gaining
\n\t\t\tfurther network access. This is a major issue for public
\n\t\t\tvideo surveillance applications.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lifetime
\n\t\t\tCost<\/td>\n		 <\/td>\nHigher upfront cost since the switch is more
\n\t\t\tsophisticated, but operating costs are lower with fewer
\n\t\t\ttruck rolls and remote-control ability.<\/td>\n		 <\/td>\nUnmanaged switches are not complicated, so their cost
\n\t\t\tis low. However, operating costs may be higher since
\n\t\t\tcontrol is limited.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
 <\/td>\nRecommended<\/td>\n <\/td>\nSometimes recommended<\/td>\n <\/td>\nNot recommended<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

A word about cost\u2026<\/h2>\n

Networks last a long time and require monitoring and maintenance for best results, so in planning your budget, it\u2019s crucial to consider both the purchase price and ongoing operating costs.<\/p>\n

Purchase Price<\/h3>\n

Unmanaged switches<\/a> are generally cheaper than managed switches because they are much simpler devices. However, this simplicity means they are unable to adapt to changes, so their useful lifespan may be shorter than a managed switch.<\/p>\n

Operating Cost<\/h3>\n

Unmanaged switches must be physically touched to reboot them or change their configuration, which requires skilled engineers onsite. Travel costs, time, and business disruption can be unwanted side effects of waiting for fixes. In contrast, managed switches can be remotely controlled, so changes can be made quickly with minimal cost and disruption.<\/p>\n

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)<\/h3>\n

Combines purchase price and operating cost over the long term, and can be lower with a managed switch, particularly if the switch is in a remote or hard-to-access location. Additionally, managed switches improve business agility because they can adapt to new requirements and take advantage of new opportunities.<\/p>\n

So, how do you choose the right switch for your application?<\/h2>\n

The table below is a quick guide to the best switches to consider for different applications. An Allied Telesis WebSmart switch<\/a> has some management ability and can be a good compromise where a fully managed switch is not ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
 <\/th>\n <\/th>\nManaged<\/th>\n <\/th>\nWebsmart<\/th>\n <\/th>\nUnmanaged<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Small (Less than 20 cameras in one location)<\/td>\n <\/td>\nManaged switches give the most control and visibility and are preferred if the location is difficult to access.<\/td>\n <\/td>\nWebsmart switches are easy to set up, yet allow some remote management and monitoring functions.<\/td>\n <\/td>\nGood option for easy plug and play setup. Switch should be accessible, and cameras securely located.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Medium (Up to 100 cameras in one location)<\/td>\n <\/td>\nBest option if the network is not in a secure location, for example a shopping mall, public building or outdoor carpark.<\/td>\n <\/td>\nGood for easy install with some remote troubleshooting ability for faster issue resolution.<\/td>\n <\/td>\nOnly use if all switches are accessible and all cameras are in a secure location.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Large (More than 100 cameras, or several locations)<\/td>\n <\/td>\nBest choice for mission critical applications and those in remote or insecure locations. Lowest long-term cost.<\/td>\n <\/td>\nGood option if budget is a priority, however network visibility and control limitations may add to operating costs.<\/td>\n <\/td>\nNot recommended.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Why use Allied Telesis managed switches in your video surveillance network<\/h2>\n

Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework\u2122 Plus<\/h3>\n

AMF Plus<\/a> is an intelligent automation<\/a> tool that simplifies remote network management and lowers operating costs. It\u2019s ideal for distributed applications such as video surveillance because no skilled resources are required at the edge of the network, where the bulk of time and operating costs are spent.<\/p>\n

Virtual Chassis Stacking\u2122 (VCStack)<\/h3>\n

Surveillance systems must have a reliable stream of high-quality video, which places demands on network performance and resiliency. VCStack<\/a> ensures your network core performance, even if power outages or link failures threaten network disruption.<\/p>\n

Advanced Security Features<\/h3>\n

Security is a paramount concern for networks that exist outside secured buildings. Our managed switches can detect and defeat attackers before they can disrupt operations, by scanning for threats and continuously blocking unauthorized access attempts.<\/p>\n

Power over Ethernet (PoE)<\/h3>\n

For easier management and simplified installation, security cameras are usually powered<\/a> from the network switch using PoE<\/a>. Managed switches allow the user to control the flow of power to the camera, which is useful if a reset is required because it can be done remotely without the need for a truck roll.<\/p>\n

Continuous PoE (CPoE)<\/h3>\n

Allied Telesis innovative CPoE <\/a>allows power to be supplied to the camera while the switch reboots\u2014usually a reboot causes the power to stop. This is ideal for 24\/7 surveillance operations where software updates can cause major disruption. With CPoE, the camera does not lose power and can store video locally during switch reboot, so nothing is lost.<\/p>\n

Loop Detection<\/h3>\n

In any network, loops must be avoided because they can create uncontrollable \u201cstorms\u201d of traffic that block all other traffic. Loop Detection<\/a> rapidly detects and shuts down any loops. A common feature in managed switches, Loop Detection is also included in Allied Telesis unmanaged switches, because loops are easy to create accidentally and can be devastating in an unmanaged network.<\/p>\n

VMS Integration<\/h3>\n

A Video Management System (VMS) is used by security staff to monitor security camera footage and control where cameras are pointing. A side-effect of this is that they are often the first ones to notice if a camera has stopped working, but they are usually unable to resolve the problem because they cannot control the IT network. Therefore, Allied Telesis has developed a plug-in module for the Milestone VMS to enable security staff to restart an unresponsive camera direct from the VMS user interface. This saves time, minimizes disruption and, vitally, protects the network from misconfiguration.
