Partnering with HP Networking has enabled BCDVideo to offer a wide selection of networking products and capabilities – from inexpensive Power-over-Ethernet (POE) switches for smaller video surveillance projects all the way up to enterprise chassis based network switches.  

The HP Network architecture brings consistent and open standards-based networking to deliver performance to both enterprise surveillance networks and smaller venues.

HP switches offer high performance, scalability, and a wide range of features for core to edge connectivity that dramatically reduces network complexity.

HP’s lifetime advanced exchange warranty replacement program ensures a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for both the security integrator as well as the end customer.

Beyond the HP product offerings, BCDVideo offers a full array of networking assessments through their Professional Services program.

Professional Services provides fluid, custom network solutions to the customer where BCDVideo can assist with planning, design, and implementation phases of any security project.

To further enhance this push towards fluid networking, BCDVideo has installed a Network Lab at their corporate headquarters outside Chicago, IL., for testing and implementation purposes as it relates to streaming video on unicast and multicast networks.  

BCDVideo has been collaborating with HP for many years, which has allowed BCDVideo to gain a level of expertise in video surveillance networking issues that will lead to developing more robust networking solutions in the near future based upon the results from the BCDVideo Network Lab.  

Security integrators around the world have relied on BCDVideo’s knowledge and guidance with video surveillance networks to successfully integrate HP products in a variety of customer types incorporating complex multicast networks, such as casinos, airports, and prisons.

You can have the best IP-cameras with the best servers and storage devices, but if your video surveillance network is not designed, configured, and implemented properly, your chances for a smooth operating video surveillance system is troubled at best.

BCDVideo and HP is a team any system integrator of video surveillance networks should consider consulting.
