Power Supply Options

1. PoE (Power over Ethernet) Power Supply

   Ethernet cables can simultaneously transmit video signals, control signals and audio data, while delivering power to network cameras. This power delivery technology over network cabling is defined as PoE power supply. It drastically cuts construction and cabling costs for surveillance projects.
2. Solar Power Supply

   Numerous network camera manufacturers are developing solar-powered solutions for network cameras. When combined with wireless cameras, this technology enables fully wireless video surveillance systems.

Introduction to Video Storage Modes

1. On-board Local Storage via SD Card or USB Drives

   Recordings can be saved directly inside the camera via an SD card or external USB storage devices. The monitoring center is allowed to view and download footage stored locally on the camera. This method effectively alleviates bandwidth pressure on the network.

   Simply connect a storage drive to the camera, power it on and complete simple configuration, then the camera will continuously record surveillance videos as required. This solution is extremely valuable for scenarios where cabling is difficult and real-time remote monitoring is unnecessary.
2. PC-based Network Storage

   Surveillance footage can be stored on any computer connected to the local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) via the network. This function brings great convenience to users and greatly enhances data security. In cases of theft incidents, intruders often deliberately destroy on-site cameras and local recording devices, while remotely stored video files can be kept intact.
3. Centralized Storage on Professional Network Storage Devices

   For centralized surveillance management, video recordings are generally stored on dedicated network storage hardware such as NAS and IP SAN devices. These professional storage appliances can be deployed anywhere within the network infrastructure. Their core strengths lie in reliable continuous operation and superior data security performance.
