With eBridge, each coaxial cable can support an IP security camera

Altronix eBridge Ethernet Adapters on displayed at ASIS 2012 make it possible to deploy IP devices over legacy coax cable without the cost of installing or removing any cable. Adding to their efficiency, Altronix eBridge Ethernet Adapters extend transmission distances over 2,000 feet without repeaters over existing coax cable.

“IP security systems offer users a wide range of operational benefits that are simply not obtainable with legacy analogue systems. With Altronix eBridge Ethernet Adapters, coax infrastructure can be upgraded both easily and cost-efficiently with IP devices without sacrificing performance,” said Alan Forman, President, Altronix. “eBridge is an extremely cost-efficient solution for end users looking to migrate to IP functionality without having to rebuild and possibly remove their existing infrastructure.”

With eBridge, each coaxial cable can support an IP camera and provide composite video and data simultaneously, or multiple IP cameras with an Ethernet switch. eBridge receivers are available with 1, 4, 8 or 16 ports.

As an added feature, Altronix eBridge Ethernet Adapters incorporate SLOC (Security Link over Coax) technology from Intersil Corporation. IP cameras and devices with embedded SLOC technology are compatible with all Altronix e-Bridge Receivers.
