Why Video Surveillance?

Why video surveillance?
Security increasingly a concern for all business Theft/vandalism Disgruntled employees Accidents Increased use and acceptance in court and for insurance Caught on Tape Police videos

Why digital video surveillance?

Better function Improved search, retrieval and managementnon-linear Better storage, preservation, duplication, transmission Cost reduction Compression Reduced complexity single network type

Tips and Tricks

When working on Linksys by Cisco products, here are some things to remember:
Access via the GUI Logon/password: admin/admin

IP address for Router/Switch: 192.168.1.1 / 192.168.1 254

The Reset button will restore units to a factory default condition Switches do not have a Reset button; use serial console port Mitigate security risks WPA2 encryption Non-broadcast BSSID
