And so the burning issue for today is how can you completely avoid the ever-present threat and constant onslaught of cyber attacks? The answer. according to AFI is simpler than it may seem. "Go analogue." 

According to AFI analogue video provides a layer of security that IP cannot, because analogue cameras are cyber-immune. They run on a closed circuit and cannot be accessed directly via the internet. Adversely, says AFI, IP cameras each have an IP address that can allow external access through the internet, creating vulnerability not only to the video feed - but potentially to the entire network.

American Fibertek offers a solution with its AFI cyber-immune analogue video solutions. Over 35 years the company has had numerous successful analogue placements, and also often has high-security customers that require paperwork guaranteeing the equipment is not accessible via the internet.

One of AFI's analogues security solutions, is the AFI 91PxxxC series, which provides analogue transmission of any combination of multi-protocol data, contact closures and audio over three channels, paired with digital video. The configurability allows tailored solutions to fit exact needs for hundreds of different applications.
