D-Link has announced the launch of the DSS-200G Series Gigabit Smart Surveillance Switches. The switches come with surveillance-enhanced features designed to meet the requirements for businesses of all sizes.
The new surveillance-enhanced 10/28-port smart-managed switches offer features with optimised traffic handling, PoE support, easy configuration, troubleshooting tools and simplified deployment. They also come equipped with an intuitive web interface and layer 2 network management features, making it easy to add management capabilities to business networks without complicated setups. The optional Surveillance Mode automatically detects D-Link and third-party IP cameras and NVRs, giving real-time access to device and system information such as PoE power usage and budget, bandwidth utilisation and device status. Auto Surveillance VLAN feature separates surveillance devices’ traffic from the rest of the network, ensuring data security and prioritising surveillance traffic.
Additionally, the series utilises a DIP switch that allows users to quickly turn functions such as QoS on and off, extending PoE connection up to 250m, isolating ports, enabling PD-Alive and spanning tree protocol without the need to access the device’s web configuration. As a result, businesses looking to expand their network, install IP cameras up to 250 metres away, and save costs when deploying devices such as wireless access points, network cameras or IP phones stand to benefit the most from the hardware.
The DSS-200G Series switches have PoE power budgets up to 90W PoE++ support – ideal for powering and connecting demanding devices such as video conferencing systems and displays. They also come equipped with 6kV surge protection against sudden electrical surges.
