Security on any infrastructure

Cat6, telephone pair, or coax — one platform, one ReadyView pane. One security closet runs every camera, door and gate on the cable already in the ground.

1. 1

   One closet, three kinds of cable

   A secured site: a building, a parking lot and a perimeter gate. The cameras on the building run on Cat6, all within 100 m. The door reader, the gate and the lot cameras sit on cable pulled years ago, a telephone pair and RG-59 coax, and the gate and the lot poles are well past 100 m.

2. 2

   The security closet

   One 2-post rack: an EX-48 on top, then a GL-24xT-P600D for twisted pair and a GL-24xB-P600D for coax. Each host is dual-homed to the EX-48 over two 10G SFP+ links, every switch has two power supplies on separate A and B feeds, and the EX-48 uplinks to the core and NVR over 2 × 40G.

3. 3

   EX-48: PoE++ cameras up to 100 m

   Each camera on the building takes a Cat6 home run straight from the EX-48. Ports 1–24 deliver PoE++, up to 90 W, for PTZ domes with heaters, a multi-sensor head and a heated IR housing, out of a 1,600 W PoE budget. The farthest camera, on the north-west corner, is still inside Ethernet's 100 m.

4. 4

   A card reader on a 2-wire pair

   The main entrance's door controller was wired on one twisted pair. An IPC-4STP in an enclosure above the door lands that pair on its 6-pin terminal and gives the controller a 1GbE PoE+ port, powered over the pair from the GL-24xT-P600D. No new cable through the finished walls.

5. 5

   The gate, 100 m+ out on 2-wire

   The perimeter gate is well past Ethernet's 100 m. The two pairs that served the old gate camera and intercom now carry ReadyLink: an IPC-4STP for each, in a box on the gate pole, powering a PoE+ camera and an IP intercom. The gate operator keeps its own mains supply.

6. 6

   Lot cameras, 100 m+ on coax

   At the far end of the lot, each light pole still has the RG-59 that fed its analog camera. In the closet the coax lands on a BNC port of the GL-24xB-P600D; at the pole an IPC-4SBNC turns it into a 1GbE PoE+ port for the new IP camera, powered over the coax.

7. 7

   Redundancy you can test

   Fail PSU A and supply A drops on every switch: each carries on on PSU B and PoE stays on. On one supply a GL host still has 220 W, more than its clients here can draw. Cut uplink A and LACP moves each host's traffic onto link B; every camera stays live.

8. 8

   One ReadyView pane

   Cat6, telephone pair or coax, every switch, client and camera port reports to the same ReadyView pane: PoE draw against each budget, power supply and uplink health, and an alarm the moment a supply or a link drops.
