The three most common enemies to your electronic equipment installations are heat, humidity and airflow. Ask ahy one about outdoor installation in NEMA enclosures, traffic cabinents installed at the roadside, IT equipment rooms, telecom closets and on an on. One failure that results from any of three environs and the financial implications can be disasterous.
Why Humidity? Electronic equipment doesn't like high humidity and is susceptible to static discharge at low humidity. Both conditions can significantly damage equipment.
Why Heat? Heat can significantly reduce the life of electronic equipment. An independent study by Middle Atlantic Equipment Company has shown that for every 10 degree rise of temperature above 70 degrees "F", equipment life can be reduced by 40%.
Why Airflow? If there is no airflow typically heat is not disappated as quickly. Without air flow, humidity can quickly turn to condensation thus ruining expensive equipment.

Rolling Meadows, IL - Nitek, a world leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of video and data transmission systems, has been awarded a U.S. Patent for its "System for Handling Video, Control Signals and Power", the core technology of its UTPLinksŪ. structured cabling compliant CCTV system and other proprietary Nitek products. Nitek U.S. patent Number 7,193,149 covers the use of structured cabling networks to deliver power, video and data for control (PVD) to cameras and PTZ units in a CCTV system. According to James Hertrich, one of the principals of Nitek and an inventor of the system, "The granting of this patent not only protects our intellectual property, but validates the technological leadership and product innovation that Nitek has continually demonstrated in the area of video transmission and control. The Nitek UTP transmission system for delivery of video, power and data within a structured cabling network enables a transition from traditional Closed Circuit Video that requires three separate, home-run cables for video, power and control, to a convergence of CCTV into the network cabling environment. The same cabling infrastructure used by the data and telecommunication systems. UTPLinks is a complete, comprehensive system that combines all of these CCTV functions into a single integrated solution". The UTPLinks system for video, control and power is designed as a fully scalable, true hybrid infrastructure which supports any analog CCTV application and allows for upgrades to IP cameras utilizing the same cabling infrastructure. Nitek, a Rolling Meadows, Illinois company has been developing and marketing unique, high performance products in the area of video security for over twenty years. The Company markets a complete line of equipment for UTP transmission of video, data and power. All Nitek products are manufactured in the U.S.A. |
