Why Proper Networking Matters for CCTV
"Your cameras are only as good as your network"
The network is the backbone of any modern security system. While cameras get all the attention, it's the network infrastructure that determines whether your system performs reliably or suffers from dropouts, delays, and failures.
Stable Video Transmission
Consumer switches often cause video dropouts and buffering. Purpose-built security switches with QoS ensure smooth, uninterrupted video streaming from all cameras simultaneously.
Reliable Power Delivery
Insufficient PoE power causes camera reboots and failures. High PoE budget switches provide consistent power to every camera, even during peak demand with IR illumination.
Future-Proof Foundation
As cameras increase in resolution and bandwidth requirements grow, enterprise networking provides the capacity headroom to upgrade without replacing your entire infrastructure.

Network Infrastructure FAQs
What is Allied Telesis?
Allied Telesis is a global networking manufacturer specialising in enterprise-grade network infrastructure. They produce PoE switches, managed switches, wireless access points, and VPN firewalls specifically designed for security and surveillance applications with 24/7 reliability and extended warranties.
Why use Allied Telesis switches for CCTV systems?
Allied Telesis switches are purpose-built for security with high PoE budgets to power multiple cameras, extended temperature ratings for harsh environments, enhanced reliability for 24/7 operation, and extended warranties. They ensure stable video transmission without the dropouts and issues common with consumer networking equipment.
What is PoE and why is it important for security cameras?
Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivers both power and data through a single network cable. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies at each camera, reduces installation costs, enables remote camera placement, and allows centralised power management with UPS backup protection for the entire system.
How much does an Allied Telesis network upgrade cost in Perth?
Allied Telesis network upgrades in Perth start from $499 for basic 8-port switch replacements, with full CCTV network infrastructure packages ranging from $1,500 to $15,000+ depending on port count, PoE requirements, managed features, and whether fibre backbone or wireless integration is needed.
What is the difference between managed and unmanaged switches?
Unmanaged switches are simple plug-and-play devices with no configuration options. Managed switches offer VLAN support for network segmentation, QoS for traffic prioritisation, port monitoring, security features, and remote management. For professional CCTV installations, managed switches are recommended for video traffic prioritisation and network security.
Can Allied Telesis switches handle multiple 4K CCTV cameras?
Absolutely. Allied Telesis switches are designed for high-bandwidth security applications. Their gigabit switches easily handle multiple 4K cameras streaming simultaneously, with sufficient backplane capacity, high PoE budgets (up to 740W on enterprise models), and QoS features to prioritise video traffic over other network data.
What warranty do Allied Telesis products have?
Allied Telesis offers industry-leading warranties, with many switches featuring lifetime warranties. This reflects their confidence in product reliability and provides significant peace of mind for security installations that need to operate continuously for many years without failure.
Do I need special networking for my security system?
Consumer-grade networking equipment frequently causes issues with professional security systems including video dropouts, insufficient PoE power delivery, overheating, and reliability problems. Purpose-built security networking from Allied Telesis ensures stable operation, proper camera power delivery, and 24/7 reliability that consumer equipment simply cannot match.
Can Allied Telesis equipment be used outdoors?
Yes. Allied Telesis offers industrial-grade switches and wireless access points with extended temperature ratings (-40C to +75C), ruggedised enclosures, and IP-rated protection for outdoor and harsh environment installations where standard networking equipment would fail within months.
