Time and Trend of Industrial Switches In the Security

Security, a technology industry based on "seeing", and vision is the main source of perception information for all things. For the human world, 83% of the information people obtain comes from vision. In just 20 years, security has gone through three leap-forward development stages, from being able to see clearly to being able to understand. At the moment of comprehension, video data needs to be comprehensively viewed, correlated, or even automatically viewed. Therefore, data is of great significance to security.

In 2005, when analog to digital has become a consensus, digital signals are overkill if they are limited to local or local scope. Therefore, the industry will convert analog to IP and use the network to carry video data. Switches first appeared on the stage, and role-playing is simply connecting the front-end network cameras and back-end NVRs or servers, similar to a "bridge", transporting data from one end to the other, satisfying the need for real-time, complete monitoring of large-traffic network video signals. The transmission needs of flexibility and smoothness. Simple and easy to use, this is the initial evaluation of the switch by security at that time.

Beginning in 2010, the technological evolution and iteration of the security industry began to accelerate. By 2016, the "first year of AI security", the technology had undergone qualitative changes, which emerged due to industrial upgrading and demand explosion. As the network transmission layer, the switch has witnessed the various time nodes of Shengshi Security. It is the witness of history. It is inevitable and self-evolution is essential.

Therefore, more powerful industrial Ethernet switches are required to meet this new era of intelligent security.Products need to generate value in order to please the market.So what is the security market like now?In the new era of intelligent security, computing power, algorithms and data are the three core elements.The AI high-computing smart camera can perceive more scenes holographically, and the multi-algorithm framework makes the algorithm application of the device, edge and cloud more abundant. Hundreds of billions of pictures can be retrieved in seconds, and the computer can automatically watch the video.It can combine panoramic data such as people, vehicles, objects, mobile phones, access control, Wifi, etc. in the spatial dimension, full data such as trajectories, activities, and events in the time dimension, as well as the global data generated by the correlation analysis of the panoramic data, as well as global data and video images. The fused multi-dimensional and multi-correlated holographic data can be correlated to achieve "pattern correlation" and "multi-track integration".

Data-driven business is the most basic technical logic in this era. Then, for the network that carries the data, the pressure is not small. If the closed loop of the entire security product, technology, solution and application is an organic life, then the industrial Ethernet switches play the role of nerve meridian. The new era of intelligent security requires AI + cloud to install a "smart brain" for it, and also requires holographic perception to form "strong limbs". At the same time, the communication network is like a "nerve meridian", allowing the brain to direct the trunk freely.

Because of the unique characteristics of the security system, the front-end cameras are installed in an outdoor environment. As a switch product for video transmission, it must be able to withstand a wide range of temperature fluctuations, humidity changes, lightning shocks, electromagnetic interference, etc. Harsh factors, so industrial-grade switches have become a necessary choice. The industrial Ethernet switches adopt industrial grade chips, which can adapt to the working environment of -40 degrees Celsius to 75 degrees Celsius. The power supply adopts redundant design and can pass strict vibration and impact tests. Because of these characteristics, industrial switches will become the most important transmission equipment for security monitoring systems.

The traditional big brands of industrial switches are foreign manufacturers and domestic local brands. After several years of development and growth, there have been several brands with considerable strength. The biggest advantage of domestic brands of industrial switch products is high cost performance. This is also in line with the market demand of the security industry, so with the increasing demand for industrial switches in the security industry, domestic industrial switch manufacturers are growing rapidly. With the current development of switch technology, domestic brands of industrial switches will soon become the mainstream of transmission products in the security industry.
