In an era where security demands precision and efficiency, Power over Ethernet (POE) technology has emerged as a game-changer. The IEEE 802.3af standard—the original POE protocol—enables security cameras to transmit both power and data over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power outlets. This guide dives into the technical details, benefits, and real-world applications of 802.3af POE security cameras, with insights tailored to homeowners and businesses seeking robust, future-proof solutions.
When setting up a security system, ensuring that your camera supports ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is crucial for compatibility with other devices like Network Video Recorders (NVRs) or third-party software. ONVIF is a global standard for IP-based security products, ensuring that cameras from different manufacturers can work together seamlessly. In this article, we’ll show you how to check if your security camera is ONVIF-compliant and compatible with your surveillance setup.
In the world of video surveillance, managing storage space efficiently is a critical challenge. H.265, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), has revolutionized video compression, making it possible to store high-quality footage while using significantly less space. In this article, we’ll break down how H.265 compression works, why it’s a game-changer for DVR/NVR systems, and how Jennov’s security solutions leverage this technology for optimal performance.
