Video Surveillance / CCTV INDUSTRY

The evolution of monitored streaming video has made the proper function of CCTV equipment more paramount than ever in order to retain the customer and the Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR) they represent.

Atmospheric conditions are becoming increasingly more volatile while electronic components become increasingly fragile.

Our target market has become conditioned by electronics retailers as to the means and value of protecting home electronics such as, plasma/ LCD screens, home theatre systems, computers, etc.

Simple fact. DVRs and NSRs are computers. Therefore it is only logical to present them a means of protecting CCTV equipment such as cameras, monitors, quads, multiplexers, etc.  Most manufacturers strongly endorse the use of TVSS devices for use with their equipment.

"After" your customer has experienced avoidable downtime and or equipment loss is an awkward time to inform them you could have offered effective and affordable preventative measures at the time you installed the system. After all, your competition is….

Educate the customer at the time of the systems sale that these are devices designed for a specific purpose and are used largely every day in instances where the function and integrity of a CCTV system is most critical. For those who choose to leave their equipment vulnerable to power surges and lighting strikes, remind them via, phone, letter, email, and document your efforts to solve an avoidable problem before it occurs. Often the customer doesn’t recall such an option as having been presented when its time for him to explain to his boss why the system is damaged and in need of a surge protection solution.

Proper Product Placement: A common quandary in selecting TVSS for CCTV is, “Where do I put the protection device, at the camera or the head-end equipment?” Which do you want to protect? Which do you want to leave exposed? Surge suppressors are passive devices that limit voltage to a pre-determined threshold. They are not capable of logic nor do they process information. They simply limit how much voltage will pass their point of introduction into a circuit or conductor. A TVSS doesn’t know where it is installed nor what it is protecting. Install our V series at the point at which you wish to protect a piece of equipment. Remember, lightning is going to travel to the first place it can seek ground. Since we cannot know in advance where the energy will be introduced onto the cable, we can only protect in a manner that allows for an over voltage condition to occur at any point in our cabling and still know the proper protection is in place.

These are common applications as to the ideal placement of E CLIPS CCTV products.

APPLICATION: For voltage restriction into sensitive electronics via coaxial cable using BNC connectors. (DVRs, cameras, monitors, MUXs, etc.)
