Security Camera Network Solution
A dedicated network that keeps security camera video flowing reliably for a product distribution business.
Business goals
The client distributes consumer and commercial products to retailers and fleets, so inventory protection is an everyday concern. A security camera is only useful if its video actually reaches the people and systems reviewing it. The client needed networking that could carry camera traffic reliably, without slowing the business systems that run orders and shipping, and that its own staff could understand and support afterward.
Project overview
Hexagon delivered the networking for the client's security cameras. We worked out how cameras would connect, kept video traffic from competing with daily business traffic, and arranged access for those responsible for viewing footage. Each connection was tested and recorded, so the client knows what is on the network and where. The project was networking only, and its scope stayed tightly on that one job.
Challenges faced and solved
Cameras usually get the attention, but the network decides whether the video is there when someone needs it.
Video competing with daily operations
Camera streams run around the clock and take up real bandwidth. Placed on the same network as order and shipping systems, they can slow the work that keeps a distributor moving.
We planned camera traffic separately from business traffic, so video and operations systems don't have to compete for the same capacity.
Long runs across a large building
Distribution sites have long aisles, docks and storage areas, with cameras mounted far from a network closet. Poorly planned connections leave gaps that nobody sees until footage is missing.
We mapped each camera's connection back to the network before setup, so coverage areas were accounted for rather than left to chance.
Finding a problem camera
When one of many cameras drops offline, an unlabeled network makes the fault slow to find. Staff can spend hours tracing cables while that part of the floor goes unrecorded.
We gave cameras an orderly addressing and naming plan and documented it, so a fault can be tied to a specific device.
Controlling who sees the footage
Security footage is sensitive, and an open camera network is itself a security risk. Viewing access has to reach the right staff without exposing cameras to the wider business network.
We limited network access to the cameras, so authorized staff can reach the video and general users on the business network cannot.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| For security and operations staff | |
| 1. Camera Connectivity | Each camera is connected and verified, so its view is available where staff review video. |
| 2. Authorized Viewing Access | People responsible for security can reach footage over the network, without opening it to everyone. |
| 3. Connection Testing | Each link was checked after setup, so issues surfaced before anyone needed a recording. |
| For the client's IT team | |
| 4. Separate Camera Network | Video traffic runs apart from business traffic, which protects order and shipping systems from slowdowns. |
| 5. Bandwidth Planning | Network capacity was sized around continuous video, which behaves differently from office traffic. |
| 6. Addressing and Naming Plan | Cameras follow a consistent scheme, so a device on the network can be matched to a location. |
| 7. Network Documentation | A written record of cameras and connections helps staff troubleshoot and add devices later. |
| 8. Room to Add Cameras | The layout allows for more cameras later without redoing the existing setup. |
How the platform is put together
Each layer has one job.
The result
The client's security cameras run on networking planned specifically for them, with a written record of what is connected.
| Area | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Camera traffic | No dedicated plan for carrying video | Video planned apart from business traffic |
| Fault finding | Tracing a camera meant checking by hand | A documented addressing and naming plan |
| Viewing access | Access not defined around the cameras | Network access limited to authorized staff |
| Adding cameras | Each addition treated as a new job | A layout that allows for more cameras |
How we took it from idea to launch
Good software follows a process. Here are the six stages, and what happens in each one.
Discovery & Requirements
Goal: Define the product vision, target audience and core business requirements.
Key activities- Stakeholder interviews
- Market and competitor research
- Defining user personas
- Drafting technical specifications or a Product Requirements Document (PRD)
Design (UX / UI)
Goal: Create an intuitive user experience and visual interface.
Key activities- UX design: information architecture, user flows and wireframes
- UI design: high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes in Figma or similar tools
- Design system: colors, typography and component libraries
Development: Frontend & Backend
Goal: Build the functional application using agile sprints.
Key activities- Backend: set up databases, design APIs (REST, GraphQL), implement server logic, and configure authentication and authorization (OAuth, RBAC)
- Frontend: build responsive interfaces and connect components to backend APIs
- Version control: manage code through Git and GitHub
Security & Optimization
Goal: Harden the application against vulnerabilities and boost performance.
Key activities- Security: address the OWASP Top 10, including injection, XSS and CSRF, enforce encryption in transit and at rest, and implement rate limiting
- Optimization: code splitting and lazy loading, database indexing, API caching and load testing
- QA and testing: unit, integration and end-to-end tests
Beta Release
Goal: Deploy to a controlled group of real users to catch edge-case bugs and gather feedback.
Key activities- Set up staging and production CI/CD pipelines
- Launch a closed or open beta with real users
- Monitor errors through observability tools
Public Release (Launch)
Goal: Roll the software out to the general public.
Key activities- Final production deployment
- DNS configuration
- Marketing and onboarding rollout
- Post-launch performance and security monitoring
Business benefits
Separating video protects the systems that handle orders and shipping.
A tested network lowers the chance of discovering a gap after an incident.
Documentation lets staff tie a fault to one device and location.
Limited access reduces who can reach sensitive video.
Conclusion
People often buy cameras first and think about the network later. In a distribution business, that can mean video slowing down the systems that ship orders, or a missing recording on the day it matters. Hexagon handled the networking for this client's security cameras, keeping the work focused on that one job.
