Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX) has powered corporate communication systems for many years. PABX consists of several components, such as stations and lines in a closed network. While businesses with a PABX can use a platform of their choice, their service provider must use a Public Switched Telephone Network.
Since voice communication is such a key part of corporate operations, some businesses have decided that every employee must have their own phone. If the business is using the traditional phone-line architecture, its phone bill will be quite high. A PABX system can lower the phone bill because many employees will be using the same phone line. Moreover, the employees will be able to make internal calls via short extension numbers. Ultimately, the introduction of a PABX system reduces the number of physical phones within the business premises.
Wireless burglar alarm systems are better. A few years ago, wireless systems were still inferior to wired systems because they would give false alarms. However, today wireless systems are easier to install and will also work when the phone lines have been cut.
Yes, but this is only the case when your burglar alarm has a battery backup. The battery backup should enable the alarm to operate for a few hours, which ensures your home is protected.
Your home is broken down into specific zones, once a burglar alarm is activated each zone can report its status separately. When a disturbance is detected a message is sent from the control panel to the central monitoring service through the phone line. There is then a small waiting period to see if any other disturbances are detected, these will also be reported. Law enforcement will be notified once the messages are received
In short, DVR based CCTV systems are relatively simple set-ups owing to older technology; whereas, NVR based CCTV system are the latest technology, and better for business and complex usage. DVR’s are used with analog CCTV cameras while NVR’s are used with internet protocol (IP) cameras. In a DVR, the video is encoded and stored in the DVR, whereas with an NVR, this happens in the camera and the videos are then stored in the NVR for remote access. A DVR based security system is usually wired and each camera needs to be connected directly to the DVR. NVR based security systems are wireless and all cameras can be connected to a single network. In a DVR based system, you’ll have to consider extra wiring for recording audio. NVR CCTV systems are highly flexible and easy to scale up when your requirement grows larger.
Some IP cameras come with built-in microphones or you can purchase microphones separately for your CCTV system. Your DVR will need additional slots for audio cable. In NVRs, audio can be recorded via the Ethernet cable. Make sure to check if it is legal to record audio in your country before setting up an audio recording system.
Many CCTV cameras include night-vision that use technology like thermal imaging and infrared lighting to capture video in dark and low-light conditions. Check with your CCTV provider to get details of cameras that can cater to your specific light conditions and security needs.
A host of complications like electrical interference, power fluctuations, equipment malfunction etc. can cause CCTV footage to flicker. Do check if flickering is specific to a particular camera or monitor to see if the problem lies there. Check if cables are connected and routed correctly. The source of the problem can be difficult to track and you many need the help of a professional to troubleshoot. Sometimes, it is critical to capture specific moments to unravel a crime and that’s why WD PurpleTM HDDs come with special AllFrameTM Technology that instead of stopping at an interference, simply jumps to the next frame to continue capturing footage.
It all depends on the shape and size of your space. For maximum effectiveness, CCTV cameras should watch over every entry point to your space like front door, back door, windows, balconies etc. You may also need some overlooking the main road or garden. For shops, CCTVs need to cover all the aisles and corners besides safeguarding the cash counters. Thinking strategically, you would also want to hide away some cameras in unlikely places where they cannot be easily located.
Shops come in many shapes and sizes with different blind spots and risk-prone zones. If the shop is large then the number of cameras and the storage capacity required goes up. For chain stores, you may need to remotely access footage from all stores at a central location and easily replace a faulty part without interrupting the entire system. You can determine the right CCTV camera system for your business after clearly understanding all your needs and variables. Get free advice from a CCTV provider to arrive at the best surveillance solution for you.
Choosing the right CCTV camera system for your home would depend on several factors like where and how many cameras you need to set up, how much footage will you store and for how long, and how would you need to access your stored footage. You can consult a CCTV provider to get detailed guidelines on the system based on your unique needs.
Public Wi-Fi is incredibly useful, but it opens you up to a world of new security risks. Protective software and a firewall are essential if you’re using public Wi-Fi from your device. The safest way to use a public Internet connection is with a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN encrypts your data and creates a secure tunnel that you can transmit it through. Using a VPN like Hotspot Shield will free you from many of the concerns of using public Wi-Fi, providing a secure connection you can use worry-free.
Hotspot Shield Free VPN is available for your mobile (Android, iOS, Windows Phone) and desktop devices (Windows & Mac). And soon as your as your browser extension (Chrome and Firefox). Stop worrying about your connection, and start accessing your favorite content without geo-restrictions now:
Security is a major concern with any device that connects to the Internet. Your wireless router comes with some security features built in, but you have to know how to use them. Your router has either WEP or WPA encryption. If you have the option, WPA is far superior. With regularly changing keys, WPA makes it incredibly difficult to hack into your Wi-Fi network.
Though your router undoubtedly has encryption features, they’re typically turned off for shipping. Make sure you actively enable encryption. Don’t just assume it’s working. Run a firewall on computers connected to your Wi-Fi for added security.
There are only two types of wireless routers on the market now. The prevailing standard is 802.11n. These routers transmit on both 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies, though most users find the 5 GHz band less crowded and more efficient. Using multiple antennas, these routers can transmit much more data than their predecessors.
You’ll also find 802.11ac routers on the market. These are significantly faster, but also more expensive. These routers use multiple antennas as well, and each one can support more than double the Mbps of an antenna in an 802.11n router. Nearly all equipment supports both standards, so you can choose the router with the capacity and price tag that best suit your needs.
Wi-Fi routers are classified using 802.11 networking standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). These standards define the type of encoding used, the router’s maximum speed, and the router’s indoor range. The wireless standards apply to both the 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz) and 5 GHz public spectrum bands. The essential features of each standard are:
- 802.11a – 5 GHz transmission, up to 54 megabits (Mbps) of data per second, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) encoding, 95-foot indoor range.
- 802.11b – 2.4 GHz transmission, up to 11 Mbps, direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) encoding, 150-foot indoor range.
- 802.11g – 2.4 GHz transmission, up to 54 Mbps, OFDM, 170-foot indoor range.
- 802.11n – 2.4 or 5 GHz transmission, 150 Mbps per antenna, OFDM, 230-foot indoor range.
- 802.11ac – 5 GHz transmission, 433 Mbps per antenna, OFDM, 230-foot indoor range.
Wi-Fi is a type of wireless networking technology. It enables you to connect your device to the Internet without any cables. You can set up Wi-Fi in your home or connect to public Wi-Fi. There are some potential hazards to using public Wi-Fi, such as slower connection speeds and potential security hazards, which are discussed later.
Wi-Fi is supplied through a router. Your computer or other device will transmit data through a radio signal. The router picks up that data, decodes it, and sends to the Internet via its wired Ethernet connection. The router communicates back to the connected device with its own radio signal, and thus your Internet connection is established.
Yes, all UniFi APs automatically form a mesh network, broadcasting the same WiFi so you can maintain connectivity while roaming between your access points.
Our APs also support wireless meshing to one another so you can eliminate dead zones without the need to run additional cabling. Simply plug your AP into an AC power outlet* within range of a nearby access point to enable setup.
Note that meshing is not available for Standalone Access Points (without UniFi).
*UniFi PoE Adapters are recommended.
Most APs require Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) which can be provided with a UniFi PoE Adapter or UniFi PoE Switch. Make sure to check the device’s store page when determining which PoE Mode is required. Other APs such as the BeaconHD and U6 Extender can be plugged directly into an AC outlet.
Most UniFi APs are capable of covering 1000-2000 ft2 (95-185m2). Given that walls and other obstacles may degrade signal, we generally recommend having at least one AP per 1000ft2 to maximize performance and connectivity.
Our WiFiman Mobile App (iOS/Android) is an excellent utility for optimizing your UniFi AP deployment. It demonstrates incredible utilities including WiFi speed tests, signal mapping, and even measures latency and throughput. We also recommend our UniFi Design Center for enterprise environments thanks to the unique ability to draw or upload floor plans and obtain WiFi coverage information.
