Surge Protection for Low-Voltage Systems

Inline surge protectors for Ethernet, coaxial, and low-voltage wiring that shield cameras, access control devices, and network equipment from lightning and transient voltage spikes.

Surge events are one of the leading causes of premature security equipment failure. A single lightning strike near an outdoor camera run can destroy the camera, the switch port it connects to, and the NVR port on the other end. Proper surge protection at cable entry points and inside equipment racks prevents these cascading failures.

Vidimost includes surge protection in every outdoor camera installation and head-end rack build. We select protectors rated for the specific cable type and PoE standard in use, and we verify protection status during every maintenance visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should surge protectors be installed in a camera system? +
Install inline surge protectors at every point where cabling enters or exits a building. For outdoor cameras, the protector goes where the Ethernet cable passes through the exterior wall into the network closet. This prevents lightning-induced surges on outdoor cabling from reaching indoor switches and recording equipment.
Do surge protectors affect PoE power delivery? +
Quality surge protectors designed for PoE applications pass power through without significant loss. Verify the surge protector is rated for the PoE standard in use (802.3af, 802.3at, or 802.3bt) to ensure full power delivery to the end device.
