 Clearline Platform Concept
h

The key to Clearline’s success is the equi-potential platform.

During a transient event the voltage potentials between power, data, and video lines can rise to several thousands of
volts causing extensive damage and costly down time to surveillance systems.

Simply protecting the power, data, or video line individually, provides little or no protection against this type of transient.
In order to prevent damage, a common, low impedance path “around” the sensitive components needs to be provided.
Clearline’s unique protection platform not only provides protection for each of the connected lines but also a low
Power and Surge Protection

impedance path between protection devices ensuring safe diversion of transient current even when there is a poor
earth available.

Smart-power
These power supplies are intended for installations in which the CCTV cameras are remote to the control and
recorder system. They are wall mountable, and offer a wide range of possible installation structures. From the tiny
SP1 which provides 16VAC for alarm applications, to the SP5, which offers power for up to eight cameras from the
same device, our range of CCTV power supplies meets every need in your security application. We offer a battery
back-up version in the SP4 model.
