The Surge Protection Solution: The main advantage of surge protection devices (SPD), connected upstream the equipment, is that they work almost independently of the surge level: they will limit drastically the surge voltage under the voltage withstand of the equipment, avoiding by this way the failures. Selection of the SPDs: Important for the selection is the surge discharge capability. Therefore, when selecting surge protection, attention should be paid to the SPD Type and to its installation situation.
Why do surge protection for CCTV systems: Digital or analog CCTV system consists of electronic devices such as cameras, recorders, controllers, monitors, network equipment, etc. linked to each other via wired or wireless transmission cables. Data collected from the cameras is sent to a control unit to be monitored by operators through the transmission system. Surges can damage or even completely destroy these devices so there is definitely a need of surge protection solutions for cameras..
