CCTV Systems vs Summer Storms!

We have just passed two intense months full of storms and lightning strikes. It can be boldly said that we are halfway through the storm season.

During this time, our surge protectors certainly have not been idle.

We hope that your installations were properly secured and that our solutions effectively protected the equipment from the effects of surges. Thanks to this, there were no failures or unnecessary service requests.

However, if you have not yet managed to secure your installations, we have prepared a short cheat sheet - what is worth installing before the next storm:

Cameras on poles and in open spaces
- EXTREME series (e.g., PTF-51-EXT/PoE)
Maximum protection in places with the highest risk of lightning strikes. A three-stage protection system supported by a MOSFET fuse cuts off the impulse in less than 1 μs.

Cameras mounted on building facades
- PROFESSIONAL series (e.g., PTF-51-PRO/PoE/MICRO)
An optimal solution for standard outdoor installations. Effectively protects the camera, switch, and PoE power line from the effects of surges.

Collective protection in a RACK cabinet
- Multi-channel panels (e.g., PTF-516R-PRO/PoE or PTF-516R-EXT/PoE)
Comprehensive protection for up to 16 Ethernet channels in a 19" / 1U standard. Aesthetic mounting, organized cabling, and maintaining data transmission integrity.

The conclusion?
It is better to protect the installation before the storm than to fix the effects of surges afterward.

If the storm has affected your installation - contact us, we will help select the appropriate protections for your specific application.
