Cudy

Cudy at SecuriShop

Cudy has a useful place in a video surveillance quotation: the brand covers the essentials of the network chain — PoE switching, routing and Wi-Fi — in compact formats that fit inside an enclosure or behind a rack, where a full chassis would be out of proportion.

On the switching side, the PoE+ models from five to sixteen ports power a small group of cameras; check that the stated PoE budget covers the sum of the loads, and not simply that there are enough ports. The industrial versions are intended for outdoor cabinets. On the routing side, the VPN and multi-WAN routers open up remote access to the recorder, and the 4G LTE or 5G models equip sites with no fixed line. The wireless range completes the picture, from the wireless access point to the Mesh system, in Wi-Fi 6 as well as Wi-Fi 7.

• Gigabit and Fast Ethernet PoE+ switches, including industrial versions
• Gigabit VPN routers, multi-WAN and PoE-powered models
• 4G LTE and 5G routers, including outdoor and mini formats
• Wireless access points, Mesh systems and Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 extenders
• SFP modules and media converters
