Integrated Wireless Monitoring network solution for small and medium-sized stores/stores

Introduction

Wireless networks and monitoring networks are indispensable for stores, convenience stores, small supermarkets, barber shops, real estate agencies, and other small and medium-sized stores. Free wireless Wi-Fi for shops can provide customers with payment convenience such as WeChat and Alipay, and wireless Wi-Fi has become an important reference for customers to praise shops. Security monitoring is not only an important safeguard against theft and nighttime security, but also a solution to disputes caused by cashiers or lost items.

This solution is a comprehensive network solution integrating wired network, wireless Wi-Fi, and security monitoring. Select the desired device based on the actual situation (for example, there are already wireless routers, switches, and other devices in the store, you only need to select the monitoring-related IPC and NVR devices ).

 

Requirement Analysis

When building networks, shops and stores will consider the following aspects: aesthetics, simplicity, stability, and low cost:

1. High-bandwidth network access, supporting simultaneous access from multiple terminals;

2. The network is stable and reliable, and the management network is isolated from the visitor network;

3. The monitoring equipment uses standard PoE power supply to save wiring costs and meet fire protection requirements;

4. Simple installation, and centralized control of cameras in a simple way;

5. Supports previewing, storage, playback, and alarm trigger settings for remote real-time monitoring;

6. Easy to maintain and flexible scalability.

 

User structure

The user structure of the network is divided into administrator and customer. The permissions are as follows:

The guest network connected by the customer is a wireless network different from the management network. After the connection, the guest network can only access the Internet, but cannot access the devices connected to the management network, ensuring intranet security.

 

Network topology

Small and medium-sized shops and stores generally have a small area. A single wireless router can better cover most areas. Cameras must be installed for real-time monitoring at the cashier, door, and product area locations.

As shown in the figure above, the store is equipped with an infrared hemisphere camera, which is installed in the cashier and product areas respectively to form a non-dead-corner monitoring. The Outdoor (door) is equipped with a cylindrical camera to ensure that the external environment of the store entrance is monitored. The PoE Switch and The PoE IPC (network camera) are used in the topology. The Switch supplies power to the IPC through the network cable to avoid additional wiring. If there are wireless routers and common switches in the network, you can select the DC-powered IPC.

 

Installation and deployment

The following provides guidance on the installation of monitoring sites:

The front-end cashier's office and shop entrance need to be monitored and covered. The product area uses two infrared hemisphere cameras for combined coverage. As shown in the following figure:

Tip:The above points are reasonable recommendations based on typical shops and stores. You can add or delete corresponding points based on the actual environment.

 

Features

Through the above scheme design, the basic requirements of wireless networks, monitoring networks, and office work can be achieved, with the following notable features:

Highly targeted

The device selection in the solution fully takes into account the actual needs and costs of shops and stores. For examplePoEPower supplyData and power supply can be transmitted on a single network cable at the same time, fully considering the requirements of the store for beautiful wiring.

Rich functions

Wireless aspect, TP-LINK wireless router can be set additionallyVisitor networkIs isolated from the management network. In terms of monitoring, you can set video plans, video occlusion, motion detection, playback, and video export. Automatic switchover in the day-and-night infrared mode can ensureAround-the-clock monitoring.

Cost-effective

The selection of the full range of TP-LINK products for small and medium shops, the solutionLow cost and high integration. Minimize the number and cost of devices while ensuring quality and functionality.

Convenient management

The wireless router and monitoring device have an independent WEB configuration interface, which provides Wizard instructions and is easy to configure. Surveillance video recorderGraphical interfaceEasy to manage, automatic discovery, one-click configuration, and fault location are all convenient for management control and use.

Flexible scalability

Considering the future development and expansion of stores, wireless and monitoring devices can be flexibly added to the existing network topology. TP-LINK commercial wireless AP can support PoE power supply, FAT mode independent management.

 

Product Recommendations

Network integration solutions for stores include routers, switches, hard disk recorders, cameras, and other devices. Due to their different scales and needs, the devices required for network solutions for different stores may also be different, TP-LINK provides a variety of network devices to meet differentiated needs.
