Emerson Network Power Introduces Two New Advances In Surge Protection for Video and Surveillance Installations

The new Edco CP-24 surge suppresor safeguards the DC power input to security cameras, and features quick-snap installation for power applications up to 24 VDC. The Edco CP-24 requires no additional wiring and can simply be plugged in directly, or in series, at a camera’s power terminal. High-speed silicon avalanche diode (SAD) technology clamps high-energy transients that can damage CCTV equipment. For an even more comprehensive solution, the Edco CCTV-1 can be added to protect the camera’s BNC video input.

Also introduced was the Edco HVCP-48-BNC combination unit, a hybrid surge protection product offering a three-part solution to safeguard data, video input, and DC power. Featuring separate circuits, the Edco HVCP-48-BNC can handle high-current impulses while simultaneously clamping transients and allowing critical power and data to be transmitted.

“The Edco CP-24 and HVCP-48-BNC products advance the level of protection available to our surveillance customers,” said Eric Marshall, director of sales & marketing, Surge Protection, Emerson Network Power. “They each deliver unsurpassed performance, streamline installation and operation. For example, the Edco HVCP-48-BNC does the work of what would have previously required three separate devices. It’s simply a smarter, more streamlined approach.”

Both products have been added to Emerson Network Power’s extensive portfolio of surge protection for surveillance solutions. As equipment failure within a surveillance system can prevent capture of critical information – and create potential safety and liability risks – Emerson Network Power has identified surge hot spots within surveillance systems, and developed products to specifically address these risks.
