Master Station or Base Station These are units that can control the system,

i.e., initiate a call with any of the stations and make announcements over the whole
system.

Sub-station Units that are capable of only initiating a call with a Master Station
but not
capable of initiating calls with any other stations (sometimes called slave units).

Door Station Like sub-stations, these units are only capable of initiating a call to
a Master Station. They are typically weather-proof.

Wireless intercoms
For installations where it is not desirable or possible to run wires to support an intercom
system, wireless intercom systems are available. There are two major benefits of a
wireless
intercom system over the traditional wired intercom. The first is that installation is much
easier since no wires have to be run between intercom units. The second is that you can
easily move the units at any time. With that convenience and ease of installation comes

Category 3 cable, commonly known as Cat 3 or station wire, and less commonly
known as VG or Voice-grade (as, for example, in 100BaseVG), is an unshielded
twisted pair
(UTP) cable used in telephone wiring. It is part of a family of copper cabling standards defined
jointly by the Electronic Industries Alliance and the Telecommunications Industry Association
and defined in TIA/EIA-568-B.Although designed to reliably carry data up to 10 Mbit/s, modern
data networks run at much higher speeds, and Cat5e or Cat6 is now used for all new
installations - and many large institutions require any repairs or additions to existing buildings
that
use Cat3
to beinupgraded
to Cat5e.
Cat currently
3 was widely
used
computer
networking in the early 1990s for 10BASE-T

Ethernet (and to a lesser extent for 100BaseVG Ethernet, token ring and 100BASE-T4),
but from the early2000s new structured cable installations were almost invariably built
with the higherperforming Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable required by 100BASE-TX.
Category 5 cable, commonly referred to as cat 5, is a twisted pair cable for carrying
signals.
This type of cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet.
The
cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet). Cat 5 is also used to
carry

Category 5 transmits at 100MHz frequencies, providing a rated line speed of up to

100Mbit/s and a max cable segment length of 100 meters. Most Category 5 cables,
designed for early networks, only used two twisted pairs. Older Category 5 cables
continue to make up the bulk of the worlds network infrastructure.
Category 5e was capable of increasing rated transfer speeds to 350 Mbit/s over 100
meters. The new standard also required all cables to include four twisted pairs (all eight
contacts). An optimized encoding scheme allows up to 50-meter lengths of Category 5e
cable to perform at, or near, Gigabit Ethernet
(1000BASE-T) speeds.

Category 6
The mainstream adoption of Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) required new industrystandard cables capable of transmitting at a higher frequency of 250 MHz. Category 6
cable uses thicker-gauge wire, increased shielding, and more pair twists per inch to
reduce signal noise and interference. The tighter specifications guarantee that 100-meter
runs of Category 6 are capable of 1000 Mbit/s transfer speeds.10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds
are achievable when reducing cable lengths to less than 50 meters.
Category 6e
Category 6 Enhanced (6e) is an augmented specification designed to double transmission
frequency to 500 MHz. By wrapping Category 6e in grounded foil shielding, full 10-Gigabit
Ethernet speeds can be reached without sacrificing the max cable length of 100 meters.

Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance, is the use of

video
cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. It differs
from
broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ
point
to point (P2P), point to multipoint, or mesh wireless links. Though almost all video
cameras
fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas
that
may need monitoring such as banks, casinos, airports, military installations, and
convenience stores.

Video cameras are either analogue or digital, which means that they work on the basis of
sending analogue or digital signals to a storage device such as a video tape recorder or
desktop computer or laptop computer.
Analogue/Analog-Can record straight to a video tape recorder which are able to record
analogue signals as pictures. Digital-These cameras do not require a video capture card because
they work using a digital signal which can be saved directly to a computer. Network-IP cameras
or network cameras are analogue or digital video cameras, plus an embedded video server
having an IP address, capable of streaming the video (and sometimes, even audio).
CABLE USED IN CCTV
cat5e, cat6e, RG- 59and RG-6/U

RG-6 is cable television (CATV) distribution coax, used to route cable television signals to
and within homes, and RG-6 type cables have become the standard for CATV, mostly
replacing the smaller RG-59, in recent years. CATV distribution coax typically has a
copper-clad steel (CCS) center conductor and a combination aluminum foil/aluminum
braid shield, typically with low coverage (about 60%). RG-6 type cables are also used in
professional video applications, carrying either base band analog video signals or serial
digital interface (SDI) signals; in these applications, the center conductor is ordinarily
solid copper, the shielding is much heavier (typically aluminum foil/95% copper braid),
and tolerances are more tightly controlled, to improve impedance
stability.

gigahertz (6 cm) SHF ISM radio bands. The Wi-Fi Alliance defines Wi-Fi as any "wireless local
area network" (WLAN) product based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers'
(IEEE) 802.11 standards. However, the term "Wi-Fi" is used in general English as a synonym
for "WLAN" since most modern WLANs are based on these standards. "Wi-Fi" is a trademark
of the Wi-Fi Alliance. The "Wi-Fi Certified" trademark can only be used by Wi-Fi products that
successfully complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification testing.

The name 'Wi-Fi'

The term Wi-Fi, commercially used at least as early as August 1999,[16] was coined by
brandconsulting firm Interbrand Corporation. The Wi-Fi Alliance had hired Interbrand to
determine a name that was "a little catchier than 'IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence'". Phil
Belanger, a founding member of the Wi-Fi Alliance who presided over the selection of
the name "Wi-Fi",also stated that Interbrand invented Wi-Fi as a play on words with hifi, and also created the Wi-Fi logo. The Wi-Fi Alliance used the "nonsense" advertising
slogan "The Standard for Wireless Fidelity" for a short time after the brand name was
invented, leading to the misconception that Wi-Fi was an abbreviation of "Wireless
Fidelity".
Cable used in Wifi/Data
-Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6e and Fiber optic cable
An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers that are used
to carry light. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic
layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable
will be deployed. Different types of cable are used for different applications, for
example long distance telecommunication, or providing a high-speed data connection
between different parts of a building.

Cable television is a system of delivering television programming to paying

subscribers via radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted through coaxial cables or
light pulses through fiber optic cables. This contrasts with broadcast television, in
which the television signal is transmitted over the air by radio waves and received by
a television antenna attached to the television. FM radio programming, high-speed
Internet, telephone service, and similar nontelevision services may also be provided
through these cables.
A cable channel (sometimes known as a cable network) is a television network
available via cable television. When available through satellite television, including
direct broadcast satellite providers such as DirecTV, Dish Network and BSkyB, as well
as via IPTV, it is referred to as a satellite channel.

RG59 AND RG6

RG-59 flexible coaxial cable composed of:
A. Outer plastic sheath
B. Woven copper shield
C. Inner dielectric insulator
D. Copper core

Coaxial cable, or coax is a type of cable that has an inner conductor surrounded
by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield. Many
coaxial cables also have an insulating outer sheath or jacket. The term coaxial
comes from the inner conductor and the outer shield sharing a geometric axis.
Coaxial cable was invented by English engineer and mathematician Oliver
Heaviside, who patented the design in 1880. Coaxial cable differs from other
shielded cable used for carrying lower frequency signals, in that the dimensions of
the cable are controlled to give a precise, constant conductor spacing, which is
needed for it to function efficiently as a transmission line.
