IPTECHVIEW DrayTek - Routers and Switches for Network Infrastructure

IPTECHVIEW™ selected DrayTek as preferred routers for Physical Security, Voice and Video to provide best QoS and secure remote monitoring and management. DrayTek offers a security router portfolio with tremendous value for SOHO, multi branch business and medium enterprises including many next-generation router features like:

• Advanced Layer 7 Firewall
• VPN Server/Client
• Traffic Shaping & QoS
• MultiWAN and Load Balancing
• MultiLAN - VLANS
• WiFi Controller/Management

Recommended DrayTek model families from small to large are 2133/2133ac, 2927/2927ac, 2962, and 3910. If wireless is needed, DrayTek Access Points can be added and managed from the router. There are ceiling and wall mount models as well as outdoors rated that can run WiFi6, Wave2 or Mu-mimo technologies.

Many surveillance and IoT projects require placing security cameras in remote locations or vehicles in which cloud access can only be given through LTE carriers. In some other cases, LTE is required to provide some sort of Internet redundancy to conventional ISPs. What is common in all is that in addition to cloud connectivity through LTE we need to have a POE switch to power the security cameras. The IPT-LTEGate-POE is the perfect solution as it incorporates both the Router/LTE gateway and POE switch in the same ruggedized industrial device.

When only LTE connectivity is needed, the IPT-LTEgate-Lite becomes a very competitive option. It has a small form factor and low power consumption.

Both of these devices are integrated with IPTECHVIEW Cloud Video Surveillance platform to monitor the device health and to remotely access its GUI to control all settings without having to have carrier provided public or static IP addresses that are scarce and more expensive.

One of the most misunderstood devices is POE switches. They are often picked for price and the three main attributes FULL LOADED THROUGHPUT/FABRIC SPEED, OVERALL POWER BUDGET, POWER DRIVER DURABILITY are all neglected out of shortsightedness. And cause serious quality of service problems, constant support issues, and unbelievable damage and cost over the lifetime of the system.

The switches we picked are leaders in these aspects and also ready for remote management and monitoring to analyze local issues and troubleshoot issues on-premise without needing to go there saving a huge amount of time and money.

IP TECHVIEW, will provide secure remote direct access to managing the POE switch over its user interface (GUI) without any on-premise agent or port forwarding, all port status and associated MACs in the switch and everything connected to a port and its power consumption can be seen remotely. It also suports remote power management features like timers and Off/On for a quick reboot of any Security Camera or other PoE device that may need a power cycle after a firmware update. This feature pays for itself with one single truck-roll saved.

IPTECHVIEW recommended Office Network switches include POE and non-POE 8, 24, and 48 ports, and 1G or 10G models from DrayTek.

All come with built-in IPtechview pre-provisioned tunnels allowing true plug and play. The equipment can be dropped shipped, powered, and connected to the router. IPTECHVIEW Ready ^TM stands for the equipment being pre-configured for our VSaaS paltform and ready to be remotely managed.  Then Network admin can access the device securely from the cloud central management to configure simple or complex settings. Once again, DrayTek hardware delivers great value/cost options. In addition to having all standard business switches capabilities, DrayTeks have a modern easy-to-use GUI and unique Layer 2 firewall security options.
