OverviewAs the security surveillance industry continues to migrate from traditional analogue technology Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) to IP or convergence-based technology more businesses are looking to add IP surveillance to their core network infrastructure. Today, ZyXEL has established alliances with leading CCTV manufacturers to deliver solutions that guarantee interoperability, quality of service (QoS), remote accessibility as well as simplified installation and management
4
The ChallengesIP-based video surveillance is growing as an integral part of security procedures in many organisations. New camera and surveillance technology is driving the demand for a better communication infrastructure. With IP-based video surveillance, it brings many important benefits to the operator and user such as improved video quality, flexible deployment, manageability, scalability and intelligent content analysis.
An IP surveillance system differs from the analogue CCTV network by combining many or all of the elements of the traditional analogue security network. The IP network put into place plays an important role in the performance of the video monitoring and capture quality by providing the connectivity, network bandwidth, security and bandwidth optimisation for good quality video traffic transmission. All of which are important to the performance of the solution to the end user.
To offer superior surveillance solutions testing and certification of all interoperable parts of the network is essential. Successful certification gives resellers and installers confidence. A tried and tested solution will deliver the reliability and quality of the video camera streams to ensure the customer has complete confidence on the IP surveillance installation.
■ Connectivity
Ethernet is the most popular LAN technology to establish
the connection between end systems and the network.
The most common type of Ethernet cables are either RJ45
Category 5 or 6 Ethernet or Fibre based SFP. Both provide
transfer rates up to 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps. When
designing IP surveillance environments, the user should
consider how many networking devices (IP cameras,
switches and computers) are required, what resilience is
needed and what type of transmission will be used. This
defines which architecture to deploy and what speed to
pursue. By working with tried and tested technologies and
vendors that have performed interoperability testing the
reseller and end user can guarantee that these issues should
all be well covered to establish an efficient IP network
environment.
■ Network Bandwidth
The amount of bandwidth required is determined by the
number of cameras, the quality of image, amount of real
time monitoring and the required storage capacity. As the
deployment is defined the decision needs to be made as to
whether the IP Surveillance network is an isolated network
or a converged network. The benefits of IP surveillance over
a converged network is its ability to transfer video from
cameras to the recording devices and monitoring stations
business network therefore saving the cost of having
separate installations and improving manageability for
the end customer. The video camera traffic is completely
separated and isolated from the traditional network data.
Since heavy data traffic overwhelming the network could
affect video transmission. This is important.
■ Transmission Traffic
IP networks use a completely different network principle
to the traditional analogue CCTV network. Rather than
using extensive coaxial cabling the IP network uses a single
standards based cabling infrastructure. At a basic level in an
isolated surveillance network the quality could be defined
by providing fast Gigabit connections between elements.
However video traffic which can be sensitive to packet
delay, drop and jitter if too much network traffic information
of different types is passed without manageability or
testing. In IP surveillance environments where videos and
data share the same network infrastructure to ensure the
desired reliable connectivity and quality is achieved it is
important to keep the video transmission traffics isolated
and managed at a steady level.

■ Reduced Installation Cost
Cabling and labour costs can be reduced using the existing
IP network while utilising the PoE technology to power the
IP camera directly from the IP switch. This not only lowers
the initial cost, but also offers wider options in camera
positioning and deployment, thus improves effectiveness of
surveillance.
■ Operation
Multiple sites and remote locations can be managed more
easily over an IP network. This enables the businesses to
operate and remain in control of the security situation more
easily.
■ Quality of Service (QoS)
Guaranteed efficiency and quality of the network services
is key for images to be delivered to multiple recorders or
management stations. The combination of PoE and Virtual
LAN (VLAN) technologies enables better management,
reduced installation costs and segmentation of camera
images when delivered to multiple locations while
guaranteeing the quality of captured image across the IP
network.
■ Future-Proof
When installing IP-based surveillance solutions, both the
resellers and businesses benefit from the advantages using
scalable, standards-based technologies. If the network
needs expansion, or the captured images require more
bandwidth, it is easy to upgrade, relocate or add additional
surveillance devices. In traditional analogue solutions,
dedicated single coaxial cables are needed to run all devices;
in contrast, IP networks are already massively deployed and
can be configured to securely share the network among all
business applications.
■ Flexible, Scalable Solutions
ZyXEL offers surveillance solutions using open-standard
technologies that enable easy integration and scalability.
ZyXEL’s range of IP networking products can be combined
with video solutions for surveillance and remote monitoring
applications to address the need from a broad spectrum
of industry segments. Based upon extensive experience
in delivering IPTV images across service providers and ISP
networks, ZyXEL has developed technologies to deliver the
necessary solutions to the IP surveillance market.
Solution BenefitsIP networks have become the standard infrastructure for businesses to run their application, security surveillance does not need to be an exception to this. Installation and manageability of IP cameras can be simplified with the use of Ethernet or Gigabit Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices. These ease the complexity of the installation by providing power directly to the IP camera in the same RJ45 cable as the video transmission. Using this technology makes the installation of cameras in high or difficult to reach locations much easier. With a broad range of PoE switches in the portfolio, ZyXEL offers Gigabit or Ethernet PoE switches to deliver full convergence within IP networks. Combined with the latest high-definition camera and surveillance monitoring solutions, these IP-based surveillance systems offer the resellers a number of advantages:

Basic Concepts & ScenariosThe following section show various deployment scenarios using ZyXEL Switches and explains the capabilities and benefits of each solution.
Utilise the Ethernet Network for Surveillance SafetyToday, Ethernet is the de facto standard of most business networks. The first benefit of IP surveillance is the utilisation of IP based network topology instead of laying coaxial cables; in addition, the IP-based surveillance solution can be easily installed, expanded and re-located if necessary. With comprehensive ZyXEL PoE solutions businesses can easily embrace the advantages of IP surveillance.
Performance Features of the Solution: ■ Suitable for single site■ Standard-based PoE, IEEE 802.3af and -at
compliant■ Flexible PoE solution — PoE switches and PoE
injector■ Power outlet locations are irrelevant in most cases
since CAT-5 Ethernet cabling of up to 100m can
be used to provide electricity on the data cabling
to a PoE IP Camera.■ Less installation, deployment costs and time
ZyXEL’s complete PoE solution consists of a range of PoE
injectors and PoE switches ■ PoE injector
PoE injection is an economical solution for installations with
2 to 4 PoE elements. The PoE injector is a single-port PoE
device in which both power and data can be delivered to
other PoE devices (PD) via a single CAT-5 Ethernet cable
without extra power supply. The PoE injection is easy to use
without any configuration.
■ PoE switches
Applying PoE Switches to IP surveillance infrastructures is
not only economical for cost control since system power
and data are transmitted via a CAT-5 Ethernet cable, but it is
also convenient for network administrators to maintain and
inspect system functionality.

While migrating from traditional analogue CCTV to IP-based video surveillance system, operators and users can benefit from reduced installation
costs, guaranteed video quality, flexible deployment and scalability, as well as intelligent content analysis.
■ Centralised power management
As another way to maximise network availability, the power
monitoring and management features of the ZyXEL PoE
switches can be configured to monitor individual and total
amounts of electricity consumed by the powered device on
each port. The ZyXEL PoE Switches allow administrators to
set higher priority for certain ports to guarantee that non-
critical devices always shut down before the critical ones.
■ Intelligent PoE
ZyXEL’s intelligent PoE provides the power level each
device exactly needs with auto-detection. When the power
consumption amount of a connected device is detected,
ZyXEL’s intelligent PoE automatically reserves the power
for it.
ZyXEL PoE Switches — GS2200-24P■ Less installation costs and time
Surveillance devices like IP cameras are usually installed
high up on walls or ceilings which can present problems
such as lack of AC power outlets. It usually requires an
electrician to install new power outlets or deploy longer
cables. The ZyXEL PoE Switches can work with other PoE
standards-based devices such as IP cameras without the
need for separate power supplies, since the Ethernet switch
provides the necessary power.

■ Fibre Connections
ZyXEL’s Layer 2 and Layer 3 Switches with fibre connections
permit stable, reliable, secure and high-speed transmission
over long distance. They enable headquarter and branch
networks located in different sites to connect directly
without the 100-meter limitation of copper wires. With
fibre connection deployments, IT administrators can take
advantage of the feature to plan for extended range of
surveillance areas.
Coaxial CableEthernet CableFibre
■ QoS
Video traffic is sensitive to packet delay, drop and jitter in IP
surveillance environments where videos and data traverse
the same network infrastructure. To ensure optimisation
for video streaming QoS and multicast, the management
features are an integral part of IP surveillance networking
solutions. QoS ensures streaming performance at a steady
level by transmitting data according to its priority and by
the requests of the applications. The following are QoS
features that guarantee video quality.
• IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
VLAN technology allows a physical network to be
partitioned into multiple logical networks, where only
devices within the same group can communicate with
each other. Devices on a logical network can belong to
one or more groups such as video surveillance VLAN,
employee VLAN and guest VLAN. With VLAN technology,
the video surveillance IP network can be separated into
virtual networks and this helps optimising the utility for
both application data and surveillance video.
• IEEE 802.1p class of service, priority protocol
ZyXEL’s Layer 2 PoE Switches provide IEEE 802.1p features
that specify the user priority field and define up to eight
separate traffic types. This feature gives video traffic the
highest priority to guarantee video quality. With ZyXEL’s
Layer 2 PoE Switches, bandwidth resources are used
more efficiently and real-time multimedia streams can be
transmitted constantly.
• Two-Rate Three-Color Marker (TRTCM)
TRTCM (defined in RFC2698) is a type of traffic policing that
identifies packets by comparing them to two user-defined
rates: the Committed Information Rate (CIR) and the Peak
Information Rate (PIR). It evaluates incoming packets and
marks them with one of three colours that refer to packet
loss priority levels. High packet loss priority level is referred
to as red; medium is referred to as yellow and low is referred
to as green. Once the packet colour is identified, the switch
applies algorithms to accept or drop the packets. The
TRTCM feature protects important video data from being
dropped to assure stable streaming.
11
■ Balanced Network Traffic
In a multi-site surveillance environment, the network
architecture is divided into aggregation and access layers.
The access layer switches are generally Layer 2 which
provide port capacities to connect cameras or application
clients. The aggregation layer switches are generally Layer
3 which provide not only Gigabit fibre connectivity to the
distribution switches, but also enough bandwidth for the
high-volume traffics.
12
Network ResilienceThe network resilience application describes how to build a high-availability IP surveillance system. When some nodes in the IP network are disconnected, it’s important for IP surveillance operators to quickly identify the problems and recover the network to avoid security threats. To achieve this goal, IP networks should have a network monitoring status mechanism to ensure network resilience. As such performance monitoring and STP features are very critical elements for network architecture.
Performance Features of the Solution: ■ Suitable for multi-site, large-scale businesses■ Aggregation switch balances network traffic■ Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) for
performance monitoring and status collecting■ Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface (DDMI) SFP■ Fast network resilience to prevent network failure■ MSTP/RSTP/MRSTP standard support

The DDMI enables users to have the capability of
performing component monitoring, fault isolation and
failure prediction tasks on their transceiver-based links.
This feature also ensures the businesses to be proactive in
preventative maintenance of the network for guaranteed
non-stop operations.
■ Network Resilience
To build a high-availability IP surveillance system, the
network must offer link redundancy with failover protection.
The key element of high-availability IP surveillance system
is Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) technology; the STP detects
and breaks network loops, and it also provides backup links
between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a device to
interact with other STP-aware devices on the network to
ensure that only one path exists between any two stations
on the network. The STP technologies (MSTP/RSTP/MRSTP)
provide link failover capability to the access switches
connected to the IP cameras or storage devices.
■ Performance Monitoring via RMON Features
Performance monitoring is used to gather, store and
report performance data for early detection of network
problems. The ZyXEL Switches with RMON features will
collect and monitor the network status data; in which the
RMON features enable switches to continuously monitor
the setting by themselves and send out the preconfigured
event/alarm messages once the monitored values are over/
under the rising/falling threshold. For example, when some
IP cameras have abnormal traffics, RMON feature will alarm
the network administrators and help taking proactive
activities to prevent security threat.
■ DDMI SFP Enhances Management Capability
The enhanced digital interface enables a real-time link to
be established between the switch and the SFP transceiver.
This enables the switch to access operating parameters
within the fibre link, and it includes digital features such as
soft control and monitoring of SFP I/O signals. In addition,
the DDMI functionality enables the capability to implement
digital alarms and warnings.

Control Video Transmission
■ Multicast
Multicast delivers IP packets to a specific group of
hosts using IP multicast, which meets the one-to-many
transmission needs more efficiently. With multicast, data
is transmitted smartly by sending video data from a single
device to multiple receivers simultaneously; this significantly
reduces bandwidth usage and is suitable for IP surveillance
with increasing IP cameras and application clients, including
the monitor or storage centre and remote monitoring
terminals such as PCs or notebooks. With multicast
technology, multiple locations in different IP networks can
simultaneously monitor or store while network bandwidth
remained optimised.
Control video transmission describes how to avoid unwanted packet flooding to ensure video quality and to manage network devices efficiency.
Performance Features of the Solution: ■ Suitable for multi-site, large scale businesses■ Multicast that reduces bandwidth usage■ Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
snooping v1, v2, v3 that avoid unwanted packet

■ IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping enables a Layer 2 switch to dynamically
learn the members of IP multicast groups; the switch can
then forward multicast traffics to ports that are members of
those multicast groups. When a switch receives multicast
traffics destined for the multicast groups it does not
know, the switch either forwards the traffic to all ports or
discards them altogether (depending on the switch and/
or the switch configuration). IGMP snooping generates no
additional network traffic and allows a switch to handle
multicast traffics more efficiently and effectively.
■ Advanced IP Network Management
Network management is a critical factor for the IP
surveillance industry. IP surveillance operators would suffer
loss of data, productivity and even reputation if sudden
networking troubles strike and take tolls, so they need
not only the ability to monitor network status, but also
quick response to solve any possible problem. The ZyXEL
Enterprise Network Center (ENC) is a Centralized Network
Management platform for managing ZyXEL Ethernet
Switches; its comprehensive network management tool can
quickly and conveniently install or manage IP networks.
The ZyXEL ENC allows administrators to manage networks
more efficiently. By choosing ZyXEL’s SME devices of the
same type, the administrators can perform firmware
upgrade, configuration restore and script (CLI) at once; this
significantly reduces repetitive operations and helps the
administrators to save time. Task scheduling is also very
helpful for network administrators to plan their tasks on
the network management system in advance – the ENC
can perform firmware upgrades, configuration updates
and database backup/restore according to the time
pre-scheduled by network administrators without their
attendance.
