Protect analog camera systems with DEHNvario surge arrester

December 2016 Electrical Power & Protection

Factors including low cost, compatibility with other components, a wide range of video signals and the protection of existing systems have made certain that analog CCTV cameras are still widely used.

A compact arrester ensuring the protection and availability of video transmission systems, the DEHNvario 3-in-1 surge arrester guarantees unrestricted operation of analog camera and video transmission systems, even during thunderstorms.

Representing a new generation of arresters that protects different signals of power supply and information technology systems, the DEHNvario stands out due to its extremely flexible connection technology. This complete solution protects three interfaces in a single device: the supply voltage; data interface; and the video signal. This largely eliminates an incorrect selection of devices.

The DEHNvario solution is ideally suited for analog cameras that require:

• Power feed.

• RS-485 feed (pan, tilt, zoom functions).

• Analog video signals feed (BNC).
