barox Kommunikation AG, the global manufacturer of professional standard managed and unmanaged switches, PoE media converters, and IP extenders, will be showing their range of Ethernet switches and Device Management System (DMS) VMS integration at the CCTV User Group’s ‘Relentless - A Focus on The Future’ event, 22-24 April, Whittlebury Park Conference Centre. 

Public Space Surveillance

At the event, barox will be showing their support of Public Space Surveillance applications by demonstrating ease and depth of integration to 3rd party VMS control systems, via an unparalleled range of integration plugins; including those available for Genetec, Milestone, Advancis, and Geutebruck.

With barox Ethernet switch integration, enhanced diagnostic data showing the status of cameras and switches enables the fast pinpointing of network or device issues, enabling faults and outages to be diagnosed remotely. For example, if a network camera fails to respond, barox switches can be used to select a device and send a re-boot command, saving invaluable device downtime.

In addition, with barox’s integrated DMS, numerous helpful network monitoring functions allow the visualisation and analysis of all hardware and connectivity.

barox DMS tools include PoE monitoring, cable diagnostics, and remote switch traffic monitoring where per port live data traffic is shown on a graphical chart, allowing the whole video network and all connected cameras to be analysed. This key capability stands barox apart from other network equipment manufacturers and has proved to be both valuable and ‘game-changing’ in the management of Public Safety CCTV networks. 

System performance, management, and efficiencies

While having been established in the DACH region for over 25 years, barox is relatively new to the UK market,” says Sarah Moss, barox Sales Manager UK & Eire.

Sarah Moss adds, “We are, therefore, delighted to be joining the established and highly reputed CCTV User Group Conference this year and are looking forward to demonstrating to group members how barox can optimise system performance, management, and efficiencies of video networks all while reducing costs, and health and safety risks.”
