AirLive, one of the most advanced worldwide brands for networking and communication equipments, introduced Airlive PoE switch series that can automatically detect the presence of an 802.3at/af compliant powered device (PD) and provide power through the port. Airlive switch provides up to 30W per PoE port and can be used to power AP, IP phone, IP Cam and other PD devices. Airlive PoE switch equipped with high Power AC/DC power module , it does not require external Power adapter and can power up to 24 PoE devices for PoE-FSH2004L-370 with maximum 370W of power totally, and 8 Port PoE devices for PoE-FSH1008AT with maximum 130W of power totally

Device Guard Switch is the switches which will automatic re-power the PoE IP cameras or Access Point, when the switch detects that IP cameras or Access Point is not working.

In real application, IP cameras or Access Point will locate in the place which is not easy to reach after installation. So when cameras or Access Point is crashed, it will require the expensive for service for non-device guard switch. However, device guard switch can monitor the IP cameras or access point by their IP or packet status, and will re-power when the crash is detected. It can reduce the man power and service cost for users.

Separate the Surveillance Network from Networks

When a network surveillance system is designed, it is better to keep the network separate from other networks for security as well as performance reasons. At first glance, the obvious choice would be to build a separate network.

However, sometime it is more difficult to deploy another network when users already have network infrastructure for non-surveillance system because the cost for installation and maintenance of extra network infrastructure is expensive.

In this situation, we would suggest users to Airlive Switch’s VLAN technology to separate the surveillance network and non-surveillance network

VLAN is a technology for virtually segmenting networks. It can be achieved by dividing network users into logical groups. Only users in a specific group are capable of exchanging data or accessing certain resources on the network. If a network video system is segmented into a VLAN, only the servers located on that VLAN can access the network cameras. VLANs normally provide a better and more cost-efficient solution than a separate network.

Airlive websmart switch support have two types of VLANs , Port Based VLAN and Tag Based VLAN (802.11Q), it allows users to separate network easier.
