The overall growth of surveillance video has greatly increased in the past few years, as video analytics, megapixel cameras and other innovations are causing more customers to install new or upgrade existing surveillance systems. Using existing or new fiber optic links can provide integrators with great distances from the camera to the headend, huge bandwidth capacities and immunity to RFI and EMI.
These characteristics of fiber optics can make for excellent video transmissions, and there can be great cost savings for those installation companies who can take advantage of the millions of “dark” or unused fiber optic links that already exist in most large building and/or campuses.
