Gated estate: 64 cameras, gate intercoms and one fibre backbone

A gated estate with six blocks needed 64 cameras, gate intercoms and barrier control, using a fibre backbone between blocks and existing coax where new cable was impossible.

Gated estate: 64 cameras, gate intercoms and one fibre backbone

The need

The estate's six blocks and two gates shared one old coax-based camera system with no remote management. Camera positions inside finished lobbies could not be re-cabled, and the management office needed to see every block. The residents' committee also required gate intercoms on the same platform as the cameras.

What was specified

ModelQtyRole in the project
RS1024K-P24-4S-10G-M3Block PoE for cameras and intercoms, 10G SFP+ to the estate backbone
RS1001G-1S8Fibre backbone between blocks and the management office
RT-EOC11POE6Coax-to-Ethernet with PoE where lobby cabling could not be replaced

Why that split

PoE belongs in each block's riser, close to the cameras, with one 10G link back to the office so the backbone is not the bottleneck. Fibre replaces the old inter-block copper. The coax converters exist only for the six lobby positions where the cable is buried behind finished walls, which kept the project from becoming a renovation.

Result

  • 64 cameras and gate intercoms on one managed platform instead of two separate systems.
  • Six unreachable lobby positions were reused instead of re-cabled.
  • The estate backbone is fibre, so later blocks can be added without another copper chain.

Client and site are anonymised. The configuration is a reference design, not a quotation; coax condition, PoE distance and intercom compatibility must be verified on site.
