BEST PRACTICES AND
CABLING INFRASTRUCTURES
FOR SECURITY SYSTEMS

Headend
Equipment
Similar to the IT networking world
CCTV cabling started with a few connections
and ended up a mess
• No defined cable paths
• Problem determination difficult
• Cable abandoned in walls and ceilings
• System growth and business response impacted

Muxes Switchers
Cameras
TRADITIONAL (LEGACY) CCTV SYSTEMS

TRADITIONAL ANALOG VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
• Pros
– High-quality images
– Latency not an issue
– Good noise rejection
• Cons
– Requires point-to-point wire connection
– Difficult to troubleshoot large installations
– No standardization for MACs
– No audio capabilities
– Distance limitations
– Supplying systemwide power and good ground reference

STRUCTURED APPROACH TO ANALOG SYSTEMS
• Traditional Analog Systems
– Use BNC patch panels whenever possible
– Organize and consolidate home run in raceways and pathways
– Labeling and documentation
– Use IT friendly racks and cabinets for electronics
– Multiple DVR storage and management options
– Consider and recommend hybrid solutions where appropriate

KEY CONSIDERATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
ALL SYSTEMS
• Utilizing Coax
– BNC panels
– Mini-coax, bundled cables, siamese, SpeedPull
– Remove unused coax

NO PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR COAXIAL CABLING
• Camera and headend manufacturers specify that coax be used:
– RG59 = 1,000 ft. B&W or 700 ft. for color
– RG6 = 1,500 ft. B&W or 1,000 ft. for color
– RG11 = 2,000 ft. B&W or 1,300 ft. for color
• Larger gauge sizes have lower signal loss
20 AWG
22 AWG
23 AWG
Standard Analog Video Cable RG-59

• Four types:
– Screwing
– Soldering
– Crimping
– Compression
• Crimping and compression BNC’s offer the best performance
• More than 50 percent of CCTV problems can be related to bad or incorrect
termination
• Precise terminations require precise tools
BNC TERMINATION AFFECTS PERFORMANCE

• Validate camera performance using IRE meter
• Test four basic performance levels:
– Sync level = 40 IRE units +/- 5
– White level = 100 IRE units +/- 5
– High-white level = 120 IRE units +/- 5
– Color burst level = 40 IRE units +/- 5
KEY CONSIDERATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES FOR
TESTING ANALOG SYSTEMS

ANALOG/DIGITAL HYBRID SYSTEM
• Pros
– Utilize existing infrastructure and cameras
– Network monitoring
• Cons
– Image degradation
• By adding connection points
• By signal conversion
For hybrid systems, digital encoding should take place as close
to the video source as possible

STRUCTURED APPROACH TO HYBRID SYSTEMS
• Layout Potential Migration Paths
– From analog cameras to DVRs or video servers
– From DVRs or video servers to network switches
– UTP, fiber and wireless from network switches to management PC

TESTING HYBRID AND IP CABLING SYSTEMS
Qualify UTP cables for Ethernet
Troubleshoot performance faults
View wiremap faults graphically
Qualify coax for video/security
Troubleshoot coax continuity faults
Detect video signal on coax cables

ETHERNET AND IP SYSTEMS
• Pros
– Video encryption available
– Firewalls and security devices on the same network
– No signal conversions
– PoE
• Cons
– Bandwidth concerns
• Shared or parallel networks?
– IP cameras investment
– Additional education required

WHY NOT LEVERAGE IT INFRASTRUCTURES
FOR SECURITY?
• Support for analog, digital and IP systems
– Additional ports in wiring closets
• Adapt analog cameras
• Plug in digital devices on either end as needed
– Access, monitor and manage from anywhere

KEY CONSIDERATIONS BEST
PRACTICES FOR ALL SYSTEMS

KEY CONSIDERATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
ALL SYSTEMS
• Neat and manageable
• Cable management labeling and documentation
• Pay attention to thermal issues in racks and cabinets
• Proper grounding and bonding
• Use quality cable, connectors and installation materials
• Test installed system

CABLE MANAGEMENT
Designed to facilitate growth, moves, adds, changes and troubleshooting
Standards provide guidelines for cable routing, dressing and neatness
Critical to providing scalability, reliability and availability

THERMAL MANAGEMENT
• Airflow within rack impacts
component cooling
• Air moves between levels
• Air stays between and around active
components
• Facilitate front to back airflow

GROUNDING AND BONDING
• $500 million a year of damage to
property and equipment due to lightning
because of improper grounding
• 27 to 33 percent of damaged equipment
is caused by electrostatic discharge
• IEEE states, the typical AC third prong
earth is almost never sufficient to
prevent damage to network equipment
• Poor grounding contributes to
ground-loop interference

• Bond building steel and AC panels
• At service entrance, also bond to electrical
entrance facility and telecommunications
entrance facility
• Run TBB without splices
• Use permanent (compression), two-hole lugs
on busbars
GROUND INSTALLATION PER ANSI/TIA/EIA-607

SUMMARY
• By following the structured approach you will:
– Gain the trust and business of IT professionals
– Differentiate yourself from other security dealers
– Gain repeatable business
– Sell yourself through value, not price
– Provide security systems based on standards
telecommunications customers have come to
expect
