HIGHWIRE turns any analog video cable into a high-speed network connection. This allows the replacement of analog IP cameras with IP cameras without installation of any new cabling, which can save some 30-40% of the system cost. Universal connections for coax, network & power, with no user set-up required, make installation easy & fast. Simple retro-fit of IP cameras in place of analogue Full 100 Base-T Ethernet performance Supports multiple IP cameras (with switch) Fully automatic
- no configuration required Up to 300m on RG59, 500m on RG11 Powered by legacy PSU at camera end Rack mount option for control room end Why HIGHWIRE cuts installation costs • Uses legacy analogue video cabling • No IP address or other setup required • Supports mega-pixel cameras • Supports any network device
- fully transparent 100 Base-T Ethernet • Fast install
- less time on site • Full-speed over 300m (1000ft) of RG-59 • Compact
- fits inside camera housings • Flexible low voltage input
- can use old camera supply • Rack-mount option for control room end Signal Converter HIGHWIRE turns any existing analogue video cable (coax) into a high-speed Ethernet connection. This allows a networked IP camera to replace an analogue CCTV camera, without installation of any new cabling. Thus the investment in the original cabling (usually around 30% of any system installation cost) can be retained & exploited for new-generation networked IP camera systems. HIGHWIRE is especially suited to mega-pixel IP camera applications or even multiple IP cameras as it supports high data rates. Simple Installation HIGHWIREs are used in pairs & installing them is extremely simple. One HIGHWIRE unit is connected to each end of the co-axial cable with the BNC connectors, thus providing a straight RJ45 to RJ45 network connection from end to end across the existing cabling. A HIGHWIRE to HIGHWIRE connection instantly operates as a full-duplex 100 Base-T Ethernet connection & is completely transparent to any network device. HIGHWIRE has no MAC address or IP address & requires no set-up at all.
