ACTi and ZyXEL become partners with comprehensive IP surveillance system

PoE enabled IP surveillance infrastructure is both cost efficient and easy to maintain for system administrators

ACTi Corporation, a leading provider of unified solution for IP surveillance, and ZyXEL Communication, the leading broadband access solutions provider, announced that ZyXEL PoE switches and ACTi IP surveillance equipments have been jointly tested to deliver a comprehensive IP surveillance.

The ZyXEL PoE switches allow power to be supplied over CAT5 Ethernet cables, and thus eliminate the need for costly electrical wirings. PoE enabled IP surveillance infrastructure is both cost efficient and easy to maintain for system administrators.

Video quality from ACTi IP network cameras far surpasses traditional analogue cameras, allowing for crystal clear megapixel resolution images. Advanced H.264 / MPEG4 compression codices save network bandwidth and make recording digitised.

ACTi NVR video management software lets user access recordings remotely and allows for far more intelligent operations than available from traditional analogue-based system. Motion Detection and event recordings highlights relevant time segments and makes retrieving and exporting evidence a snap. Intelligent video analytics help identify important scenes and license plate information.

ACTi Corporation is the technology leader in IP surveillance, focusing on multiple security surveillance market segments

The combined offerings provide users with a surveillance solution that is convenient, robust, and ready-to-deploy. Rugged PoE network backbone from ZyXEL ensures consistent data delivery while high quality video management from ACTi cameras and software secure proper identification. This seamless alliance provides installers with an iron-clad end-to-end integrated solution.
