The advent of CCTV cameras ushered in a new wave of home and
building protection and surveillance, unlike we have seen before. It, thus,
became possible to see what goes on at different angles of the home without
having to step outside.
More advancement in tech, though, and we had the IoT solutions
that now allowed these cameras to be accessed from over a distance.
When choosing the ideal IoT device management dedicated to CCTV cameras, one
of our top picks remains the Robustel router systems due to the deeper
thoughts that went into their engineering and design.
Here are some of the reasons why they remain the top picks
for us:
Dual-SIM
compatibility
One of the benefits of using IoT solutions for CCTV cameras is to ensure
the data can be accessed from anywhere in the world with the right login
credentials. All that will quickly be defeated if there was an issue with the
main network that the router on which the cameras are being run.
Thus, it is important to note that Robustel comes up with solutions
that allow users to deploy dual SIMs on the same router.
Should there be an issue with one of the network providers,
the second can kick into place with relative ease.
2 Remote Functionality
It is one thing to have remote access to the data, and it is
another to maintain remote functionality over all that is happening with the
cameras.
Deploying Robustel’s solutions IoT devices management on
CCTV cameras makes it possible to switch the cameras on and off without being
onsite. This can be great for several reasons, from saving on data costs to
keeping the cameras inactive when there is no need for them.
Speaking of saving on data costs…
3 Data Limiting
Running a CCTV system 24/7 with capability for remote
monitoring can fast get expensive. Since the router in question supports both
3G and 4G network bands, it also has built-in protection against the overuse of
4G data. Thus, surges will be contained so much that your data bill comes back
looking normal at the end of the month.
4 VPN functionality
One of the biggest issues with smart building IoT systems is
how they are vulnerable to hacks. This is usually due to the old hardware and/
or software modules on which these IoT devices are built on.
What this means is that the data can easily be hacked to manipulate
what you are seeing, or even prevent you from recording an incident when it
happens. The best way to kick against that is to set secure passwords and also encrypt
the connection on which these cameras are maintained.
Shipping with a VPN out of the box, Robustel’s routers make
it such that every piece of information being relayed on that network is encrypted
to a very high grade, leaving nothing for a hacker to sniff out.
Conclusion
It is one thing to install CCTV cameras, and it is yet another
to ensure they work the way they are supposed to. If you need to install them
in the first place, you must need them to work well too. With Robustel’s smart building solutions, you are as covered as can be.
