Reduce CCTV installation or upgrade costs: Staff and CCTV can be isolated sharing one WiFi network

Save money by sharing one WiFi network for staff access and for CCTV security

• Businesses are installing CCTV or upgrading an existing CCTV system with IP cameras.
• CCTV cameras with WiFi can reduce the installation or upgrade cost by using the existing WiFi infrastructure that has been upgraded with a GIS managed WiFi controller.
• Business staff and CCTV cameras communicate over VLANs with two isolated network subnets.
• The staff network cannot access the CCTV network for added security.
• The GIS Managed WiFi controller has a configuration to provide remote access to the DVR for remote surveillance.

Many business owners are concerned about physical security and are installing CCTV systems for video surveillance of the business at an increasing rate. The latest technology video cameras have Internet protocol (IP) over the WiFi network, which permits cost savings by using the existing WiFi network infrastructure.

The GIS Managed WiFi gateway technology offers a simple method to have two isolated VLANs for wireless access points that are configured with two SSID's. One SSID is the connection for staff WiFi computers while the second SSID connects the WiFi cameras. Priorities can be set; staff can get priority over the CCTV system for example. Camera installation is easy when there are no data cables to run to each camera. The DVR is connected to the GIS gateway and can be accessed remotely with a simple configuration. The staff and CCTV networks are isolated; one cannot access the other keeping the CCTV system secure.

CCTV IP camera security system and business users share one WiFi network and are isolated

Diagram Description: A network diagram illustrating a CCTV IP camera security system and business users sharing one WiFi network, with isolation provided by a GIS managed WiFi gateway. The diagram shows an Internet router connecting to a WAN, which then connects to a GIS managed WiFi gateway (model GIS-R10/20/40). The gateway connects to a PoE Switch. From the PoE Switch, connections are made to a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and multiple Dual SSID Wireless access points. The access points provide two SSIDs: 'Staff: SSID-1' for business network users and 'WiFi CCTV cameras: SSID-2' for CCTV cameras. This setup ensures that the business network and the CCTV network are isolated from each other.
