The Guardian-Lite™ 3600 Series is designed for low cost multi-channel video collection over multimode optical fibre - together with associated Ethernet, low speed data and audio signals.
The system can provide a highly resilient, managed, low cost, transmission system for both compressed and uncompressed video signals. It allows the user to pick and choose the best from all technologies both now and in the future, by making sure the system can cater for all the future needs from the outset.
The video is transmitted in a real time full bandwidth digital format. This ensures high quality transmission regardless of distance. As no compression of the video is used, there is no compromise on quality or latency. The unique drop and insert system provides for significant cost savings on the infrastructure without any increase in equipment cost.
The system can be configured to collect individual, or multiple, video signals for example along a highway, a rail link or airport perimeter in a "daisy chain" and transmitting them all, back to one or multiple control rooms.
This allows for significant savings on fibre optic infrastructure when compared with traditional methods of video collection.
Architectures can be configured as a "spur" or a "ring ". When configured in a dual-redundant option Guardian-Lite™ 3600 ensures no loss of signal during a catastrophic fibre failure or node failure.
Guardian-Lite™ 3600 can be delivered with a dedicated Network Management System (NMS) providing alarms associated with the breaks in the optical fibre together with loss of video signals. The NMS system can also operate with SNMP management.
