TRENDnet introduces ONVIF Conformant smart surveillance switches

TRENDnet has announced that its Gigabit PoE+ Smart Surveillance Switch Series is currently shipping and available for purchase. TRENDnet’s Gigabit PoE+ Smart Surveillance Switches are integrated with camera management functions which are easily accessible within the surveillance switch’s user interface.

The new Smart Surveillance Switch Series were originally planned to be on display at ISC West 2020 in Las Vegas.

The Gigabit PoE+ Smart Surveillance Switches Series launches with two models, the 18-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Surveillance Switch (TPE-3018LS) and the 12-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Surveillance Switch (TPE-3012LS). Camera management functions available through the switch’s GUI include modifying camera administrator access, performing camera firmware upgrades, e-map support, and changing IP addresses.

The PoE self-healing support on these Smart Surveillance Switches include both PoE device-recovery, and switch power scheduling. If the Smart Surveillance Switch fails to respond, or if the network connection to a connected device is interrupted, TRENDnet’s Gigabit PoE Smart Surveillance Switch Series will auto-reboot or power cycle the affected PoE port and/or the entire switch. The PoE self-healing support featured on these Smart Surveillance Switches helps to reduce overall network downtime and the amount of onsite support required, which can be crucial especially during critical network operations.
