Support for High-Definition IP Cameras

The purpose of the operations is the change in the university. The main purpose of the case study
is to present the task of implementing a high definition security video surveillance system
solution that can replace what already exists at DeVry University today. DeVry requests a high
definition security system that requires the following features:
1. PoE (Power over Ethernet), avoid any additional wiring, the mounting of power bricks or
using power injectors. Conserve and confine;
2. Segment camera IP traffic from the existing network for security purposes;
3. Provide sufficient bandwidth for full HD support;
4. Support a minimum of 150 cameras;
5. Comply with the cisco hierarchical design model;
6. Integrate 1Gb uplinks; and
7. Minimize rack space.
With such a request as this, it seems almost impossible to find such a camera that can
withstand everything. Almost as if it was an indestructible camera seeming almost impossible
until there was some research conducted. The D-Link DCS-7513 Full HD Day & Night WDR
Outdoor Bullet Camera is a high-definition surveillance camera to be versatile to any small,
medium or large establishment. This camera uses a high sensitivity 2 megapixel progressive scan
CMOS sensor to deliver high quality video within a wide range of lighting conditions. The DCS7513 has an integrated mechanical IR filter and infrared LEDs this allows the viewing and

recording of video even in complete darkness, up to 90 feet away from where the camera is
stationed.
The camera being as compact as it is being its only 135mm by 79.5mm by 65 mm
(LxWxH) makes the camera more versatile for rotation and high definition making the camera
visuals more vivid to the human eye being the picture clearer than ever before. The DCS-7513
can withstand many differences in weather conditions being such that indoors can withhold the
temps of 32-122*F/ 0-50*C and as for outdoor temps of -40-158*F/ -40-70*C. The camera has a
look and feel of aluminum but as light as 1.2 lb. / 0.54 kg. With the shutter speed of H.264,
MJPEG and the audio compression being AAC (encoding only), G.711 A-Law, G.711 U-Law
gives this camera superior visual as well as audio so the administrator will always know what is
going on and where by the identifying precise motion sensor activity.
The introduction of the Catalyst 2960-X Series switches effectively allows the customers
to address the growth needs of their business or establishment, with all new intelligent services.
The innovation of the Catalyst 2960-X are highly differentiated when it comes to comparable
offerings, and will no doubt increase the competitive intensity in the market in order to support
the DCS-7513 safely and efficiently.
The New Original Cisco, 24 Port, Fiber Switch WS-C2960X-48FPS-L Catalyst Base has
the power (PoE) of 740W and the uplinks of 4 SFP+ with the function of POE, QoS and VLAN
Support. The 2960-X Series are fixed-configuration, stackable Gb Ethernet switches.
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X switches feature a 24-48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with line-rate
forwarding performance with a Gigabit small form-factor pluggable (SFP) or 10G SFP+ uplinks.
USB and Ethernet management interfaces for simplified operations while applications visibly

and capacity planning with integrated NetFlow-Lite with LAN Bane and LAN Lite Cisco IOS.
Catalyst 2960-X switches include a single fixed power supply and are available with either the
Cisco IOS LAN Base or the LAN Lite feature set. Catalyst 2960-X switch models includes a
field-replaceable modular power supply and can accommodate a second power supply. All
Catalyst 2960-X Series Switches use a single Universal Cisco IOS Software Image for all SKUs.
The Cisco Catalyst will be segmented to have all the HD camera on the Vlan 4. This will
help with security for the cameras and stop unnecessary traffic to computers. Any other
computers or printers will be set to Vlan 4 to keep all the computers together. We decided to
have all of are servers to be set to Vlan 10 to help minimize the security threat to then since the
computers on are network are on Vlan 5. This will keep all the systems on the network from
broadcasting in to other networks and bogging down the system.
In the network design we decided to have redundancy as a priority. This is one of the
most important things to think about when you are making a network. We estimated about a 190
device on this network so we have four 48 port switches. The switches will have to backbones
from the disputation center 1&2 to ever switch. This allows for a center to go down and have no
down time in your network keeping a 24/7 running network. With this in place not only will it be
fault tolerant, but you will have a balanced network if one side is being used to much the switch
can go to a other center where it may have less traffic.
