Security
Outdated analog security cameras worldwide are being swapped out for modern USB 2.0 and 3.0 cameras to leverage their increased bandwidth.
Applications like facial recognition, fingerprint imaging, and retinal scans have become commonplace.
Since cameras are often located far from control rooms and server storage banks, there’s a need to extend beyond USB 3.0’s 5-meter distance limitation.
USB Extensions for Security Applications
To bridge the distance between security cameras and the computer room, Icron’s USB extender solutions allow for up to 100 meters over Cat 5e and 40km over singlemode fiber optics. The setup is quick and easy with ExtremeUSB®’s plug-and-play installation, compatibility with any computer operating system, and optional mounting brackets. The USB 3.0 Spectra™ 3022 extender supports high-bandwidth applications, while the USB 2.0 Ranger® 2211 extender offers “flexible power,” allowing connection to a power outlet at either the local or remote end, and includes integrated mounting slots.
Why Use Icron for Security Applications?
Enhancing security measures often demands significant data flow, making the increased bandwidth of USB 2.0 and 3.0 equipment essential.
For example, facial recognition used in airport security surveillance and casino entry scanning relies on this higher bandwidth to function effectively.
ExtremeUSB 3.0 and 2.0 extender solutions from Icron Technologies increase the usability of USB security cameras by removing the distance challenge, and thus facilitate greater security measures to be adopted in public and private settings.
