“Network Connectivity for Legacy Security Systems” is available online from American Fibertek and is located under the New Products tab on the Products section of their website.

“Upgrading an existing analogue video surveillance or security system to network functionality is now both easier and more economical with American Fibertek network communication devices,” said Jack Fernandes, President and CEO of the company. “The white paper offers a practical overview, with examples, of how our Net I/O series allows network connectivity of virtually any video, access control and alarm or fire/safety devices.”

Content in the white paper includes technical descriptions such as accessing and configuring tasks through a web browser and integrating video or access control systems. The paper also discusses the many benefits and advantages of immediate communication that a networked system allows. Distance restrictions are eliminated because information from the alarms can be sent anywhere in the world where there is internet access in the form of text messages or emails.
